I’m very sad you think this way. I always try to be factual with my vizzes and while sometimes I have some hidden jokes or gimmicks on my vizzes this time I was very aware that there is of course no place for such thing so it is a very plain representation of the data which I do not own. I have all the sympathy for the victims and I deeply condemn any violence. That’s all I can say

To my best knowledge tableau is using the area of the circles as the visual variable

Sorry man, I appreciate the feedback however I don't agree. If you are making any visualization which is not a "conventional" one like a pie chart or bar chart, it's a good idea to include a "how to read" or some explaining legend as people have different data literacy skills. It's very common even for the best creators in the industry (I'm obviously not in that group) to include a how to read section. With your last point I agree though, there is always room for improvement :)

That's true, however, I specifically filtered to incidents where there were victims (injuries or death) plus the person who committed was a student or former student and the cause of shooting was NOT accident. This was I tried to filter the "actual" intentional school shootings from the very extensive database.

Well spotted, will modify

If I’d find such data I’d do it but I haven’t had the chance to find it yet

Yes I had the same feeling making it. But I decided if it raises awareness then it’s supposed to be okay. But for sure a grim topic

Added to comment now. In this case interactivity is only hovering over events for details. Not my most interactive visual but I wanted it simple and effective

Sure, it was created with Tableau. More specifically Tableau Public 2022.3 :)

Good point. Unfortunately this who dataset has only very basic dimensions but it’s still interesting data in my opinion

Oh that’s kinda interesting, it would be cool to have some country level qualitative insights

True, I only show what the data shows but it would be a good idea to include alcohol alternatives too

Yeah actually that sounds quite fair. Also in my experience in many countries there is now a push towards healthy lifestyle

Very good point! I corrected it in the interactive version ;)

Cheers! I was also thinking about a blue orange colouring but at last decided to keep the aesthetics even if it would reduce functionality a bit

According to the source (UN data), US$ prices were converted from national currencies so there is a big fx rate effect. Also, figures are inflation adjusted.

yep, and since then the USD is even stronger, definitely a big fx rate impact

Nevertheless It would be fun to have the Vatican City on it too :D
