Violent death has a different meaning to different stakeholders. Conflict-related deaths and intentional homicides are certainly part of violent deaths, but do not wholly capture the concept. Because of these varying definitions, the consortium approach involves identifying upper bound and lower bound estimates to violent deaths and improving precision (reducing the band between bounds) over time. This brief introduces basic definitions and concepts related to violent death and asks the reader where they would draw the line.
