Quote:
One striking feature, he said, is that the perpetrators and victims of the violence were not on the margins of society, pointing out that law students, clergy and guild-members were among both the murderers and the dead. The records also show that more than 90% of the offenders were men – and that society was heavily armed.
“Almost every act of homicide was committed with a weapon that likely was either designed for conflict or a weapon that could easily be used in a conflict,” said Eisner. “Very few cases were done by hands or something else that just happened to be around.”
