| Civilian | 197 | ~76% |
| Civilian political activist | 12 | ~5% |
| Loyalist paramilitary | 37 | ~14% |
| Republican paramilitary | 11 | ~4% |
| Security forces | 3 | ~1% |
Sutton's database also records that 89 UDA members were killed during this period.

Famous quotes containing the words deaths, result and/or activity:
“There is the guilt all soldiers feel for having broken the taboo against killing, a guilt as old as war itself. Add to this the soldier’s sense of shame for having fought in actions that resulted, indirectly or directly, in the deaths of civilians. Then pile on top of that an attitude of social opprobrium, an attitude that made the fighting man feel personally morally responsible for the war, and you get your proverbial walking time bomb.”
—Philip Caputo (b. 1941)
“The whole [of religion] is a riddle, an ænigma, an inexplicable mystery. Doubt, uncertainty, suspence of judgment appear the only result of our most accurate scrutiny, concerning this subject.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The superstition respecting power and office is going to the ground. The stream of human affairs flows its own way, and is very little affected by the activity of legislators. What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
