Global Terrorism Database

The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is a comprehensive resource that collects information on terrorist events worldwide since the 1970s. Managed by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland, it aims to provide researchers, policymakers, and the public with data on the nature, frequency, and impact of terrorism. The database includes details on attacks, perpetrators, victims, and locations, helping to analyze trends and patterns in terrorism, which can aid in understanding and addressing this complex issue globally.
