Richardson's Law is a principle in the field of social science that describes how the frequency of violent events, such as riots or wars, tends to increase with the size of the population involved. Specifically, it suggests that larger groups are more likely to experience violent incidents, as the potential for conflict rises with the number of individuals. The law is often represented mathematically, indicating that the number of violent events is proportional to the square of the population size. This means that if a population doubles, the expected number of violent events could quadruple, highlighting the complex relationship between population dynamics and social conflict.
