Large cities are often assumed to be more violent, but our review shows there’s nothing universal about urban violence.
In our new study, @ronaldomenezes.bsky.social and I show that isolated cities tend to experience higher rates of violence against civilians.

Our new study challenges assumptions about urban violence in Africa.
Surprising finding: isolated cities face 4x higher violence risk than large, connected cities. Size matters less than connectivity.
Amazing work with @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social
