Deaths As A Result of Activity
According to Malcolm Sutton's Index of Deaths from the Conflict in Ireland (part of the CAIN database), the UDA/UFF was responsible for 260 killings during "the Troubles", between 1969 and 2001:
| Status | Deaths | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
“The power of a movement lies in the fact that it can indeed change the habits of people. This change is not the result of force but of dedication, of moral persuasion.”
—Stephen Biko (1946–1977)
“A worm is as good a traveler as a grasshopper or a cricket, and a much wiser settler. With all their activity these do not hop away from drought nor forward to summer. We do not avoid evil by fleeing before it, but by rising above or diving below its plane; as the worm escapes drought and frost by boring a few inches deeper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
