abstract="With nearly 97% of incidents within the past 40 years committed by men, mass public shootings are a gendered social problem. Yet, empirical research on this phenomenon  largely neglects gender hierarchy and cultural factors as predictors, in favor of  individual- and event-level characteristics. Despite calls from scholars to place  masculinity and threats to patriarchal hegemony at the center of analyses, no  empirical studies to our knowledge have examined the role of gender inequality in  mass public shootings. The findings indicate that gender inequality, structural and  ideological, are important predictors of mass public shootings and that future  research should continue to investigate such violence from a gendered lens.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
