What the articles mention Seven-category breakdown

bombing statistics

10.6%

What counts: Counts, rates or trends in bombings across a period or area—for example, how many occurred in Sweden this year. Counts of injuries, suspects or explosions in this incident alone do not count.

37 mentioned · 311 not mentioned · 0 unclear

time comparison

1.7%

What counts: An explicit comparison of how often bombings or violence occur now versus an earlier period—for example, more bombings than last year. Giving the incident date alone does not count.

6 mentioned · 342 not mentioned · 0 unclear

previous incidents

26.7%

What counts: Meaningful discussion of earlier shootings or bombings beyond the incident being reported. Links to related stories alone do not count.

93 mentioned · 255 not mentioned · 0 unclear

gang context

14.7%

What counts: Discussion of gangs or organised criminal activity, even when no connection to this particular incident is stated.

51 mentioned · 297 not mentioned · 0 unclear

Gang connection addressed

13.5%

What counts: The article addresses whether this incident is linked to a gang or criminal network. Explicit, implied, possible and explicitly ruled-out links count as addressed; they do not all mean a confirmed connection. Mentioning gangs elsewhere is not enough.

47 mentioned · 301 not mentioned · 0 unclear

4 explicit · 2 implied · 39 possible · 2 ruled out

criminal networks

11.5%

What counts: A criminal network is named or described. Generic references to crime, or someone’s occupation as a rapper, do not count.

40 mentioned · 308 not mentioned · 0 unclear

conflict motive

10.3%

What counts: Retaliation, an ongoing conflict or another proposed motive is discussed. Suspected motives count as discussion, with uncertainty recorded; they are not treated as established facts.

36 mentioned · 312 not mentioned · 0 unclear

Categories overlap, so their percentages do not add up to 100%. A possible or ruled-out gang connection counts as addressed, not as a confirmed connection. Unclear findings are shown separately from absence.
