Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism in the United States, 1970-2013

Body

In 2009, START researchers designed a new dataset, known as Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism in the United States (PPT-US), to integrate with the event data, court case data, and individual data that comprise the Terrorism and Extremist Violence in the United States (TEVUS) database. The PPT-US dataset currently includes extensive, systematically codified information on the attributes and behaviors of perpetrator organizations that were responsible for terrorist attacks in the United States between 1970 and 2013. In this report we briefly discuss the development of the PPT-US database and present a descriptive analysis of the data.
