A Look Back at 2020: Trends from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD)
Dr. Erin Miller provides a virtual lecture exploring terrorism trends found in the Global Terrorism Database (GTD). Twenty years after University of Maryland researchers began developing the GTD in 2002, Miller presents trends from the publication of GTD data from 1970 to 2020. Topics include patterns of terrorism in the United States and around the world during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, developments in Afghanistan leading up to the 2021 collapse of the Afghan government, and the evolving geographic footprint of Islamic State-related terrorism.
