Scope


Scope of the Interactive Map:
Time Frame: The map spans data from six years, beginning in May 2018 until May 2024.

Incident Frame: The incidents comprise pushbacks, attempted pushbacks, and cases of crossing that lead to deaths and disappearances (the definitions for these can be found in the methodology).

Source Frame: The sources included open-source information. Additionally, in a few cases, information that was shared with BVMN privately. 

Scope of the Collaborative Posts:

The collaborative posts are based on summaries and additional information acquired during the development of the interactive map and a two-year long research project conducted by the Border Violence Monitoring Network. The scope of this project therefore builds on the scope of the map and the research project that traced the development and implementation of border technologies since 2018 (see forthcoming report on the website of BVMN).  

Scope of the Timelines:

The scope of the timelines comprises three case studies of different incidents between December 2023 and April 2024. The source scope includes all information found in openly available sources.
