Adam Lankford’s claims about mass shootings have been finally, firmly debunked. (Photo: University of Alabama<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2016, Adam Lankford, a criminology professor at the University of Alabama, authored a paper on mass shootings in the United States. He claimed that of the 292 public mass shooters worldwide between 1966 and 2012, 90 of them \u2013 31 percent \u2013 operated in the United States. His study was quoted by President Obama, the New York Times, CNN, and numerous other mainstream media publications.<\/p>\n

At the time of the paper\u2019s release, Lankford told PRI<\/a><\/u>, \u201cThe difference between us and other countries, that explains why we have more of these attackers, was the firearm ownership rate. In other words: firearms per capita.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lankford\u2019s data was questioned<\/a> at the time, but now his claims have been firmly debunked.<\/p>\n

John Lott, economist and founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, published a study<\/a> last month that found 1,448 mass public shootings — and 3,081 shooters — outside the United States between 1998 and 2012. While the U.S. accounts for 4.4 percent of the world\u2019s population, it accounts for only 2.88 percent of its mass shootings.<\/p>\n

Lott found, in other words, 15 times as many mass killers outside the U.S. in less than one-third of the time frame. And unlike Lankford, who to this day refuses to publish his data, Lott includes a complete data set for all the countries he studied.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s an amazing thing, [Lankford] refuses to provide his list of cases, he refuses to explain exactly how he got it. This is not just some normal academic study \u2013 President Obama many times cited this study as a source for his claims. I can\u2019t find any other academic research that\u2019s gotten so much worldwide attention,\u201d Lott told Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even the data Lankford has published indicates shoddy scholarship. In the Philippines, Lankford says he only found 18 mass shooters from 1966 to 2012, while Lott discovered 120 gunmen who carried out 52 mass murders between 1998 and 2012. In Russia, Lankford found 15 while Lott found 34. In Yemen, Lankford found 11 and Lott found 29.<\/p>\n

Part of Lankford\u2019s mistake, as noted by Real Clear Politics’<\/a>\u00a0Carl M. Cannon, was using bad data from the New York Police Department. The NYPD conducted their own non-academic study to determine how other countries handle the threat of mass murders. Lankford used this data, even though the NYPD never claimed it was even remotely reliable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NYPD did not use special-access government sources to compile the cases,\u201d the department admits in its 2012 report. \u201cAll information is open-source and publicly available.\u201d The NYPD acknowledged that this method obviously \u201chas a strong sample bias towards recent incidents.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, Lankford has refused to address any of his critics, including Lott. Real Clear Politics reports that Lankford didn\u2019t explain in a phone interview how he supplemented the NYPD\u2019s unreliable data. He also refused to send his raw data to the news outlet or \u201cclear up basic questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Lott\u2019s study, Lankford declined an interview request by Fox News, and said he\u2019s \u201cnot interested in giving any serious thought to John Lott or his claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of Lott\u2019s data is publicly available in the massive 451-page appendix<\/a> to his study.<\/p>\n
