Terrorism has been a salient topic since the 9/11 terrorist attack on New York City’s World Trade Center. This terrorist act has altered the security landscape and prompted governments to increase their efforts in tackling the threat of global terrorism. Acts of terrorism have since become more frequent, with the formation of certain terrorist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda. Even with heavy investments in efforts to eradicate the threat, terrorism remains prevalent, with an ever-increasing threat to our lives. As such, we turn to analyse past data on terrorism to draw insights and potentially identify patterns behind terrorist acts, so that governments can be better able to combat terrorism.
Main objectives that we hope to achieve through this project:
- Gain overall insight on the frequency, spread and rate of global terrorism acts over a time period.
- Identify and better understand any patterns and trends of global terrorism acts among regions.
- Identify possible main factors that might lead to terrorist acts.
- Identify any possible linkages, implications or impacts from terrorist acts.
- How global terrorism is affected by various factors.
