The index combines a number of factors associated with terrorist attacks to build a thorough picture of the impact of terrorism over a 10-year period, illustrating trends, and providing a useful data series for further analysis by researchers and policymakers. Produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the GTI is based on data from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) which is collected and collated by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). The GTD is considered to be the most comprehensive dataset on terrorist activity and has codified over 104,000 cases of terrorism. This report summarizes changing trends in terrorism over time, as well as analyzing its different dimensions in terms of geographic activity, methods of attack, organizations involved, and its national context in terms of economic development and governance. The index has also been compared to other socioeconomic indicators to determine what factors are commonly associated with terrorism. Details: London: Institute for Economics and Peace, 2012.

Author: Gibbs, Jennifer C. Title: Targeting Blue: Why We Should Study Terrorist Attack on Police Summary: With almost 12% of all attacks since 1970 targeting law enforcement, police make attractive targets for terrorist groups for several reasons, yet studying this unique phenomenon is largely neglected in the academic literature. Perhaps the scant research on this topic is due to a debate over whether attacks on police are considered terrorism and a concern about typological theorizing. This paper is a call to academic arms for scholars to study the unique phenomenon of terrorism targeting the police, arguing that such violence is indeed terrorism and disaggregating terrorism target type is beneficial for theoretical development and evidence-based policy.

Author: Romyn, David Title: Red-Teaming Terrorist Attacks: A Simulation Approach Summary: This paper reviews the sequence of events leading up to terrorist attacks, in particular, the tasks that must be undertaken, being target selection, weapons acquisition, surveillance and implementation. Through an online survey of participants involved in counter terrorism operations, the authors identified preferences for a particular order in these tasks, and specific target locations. It is also noted that specific attributes in target locations are deemed to be important. The authors highlight how this study’s findings could enhance current counter terrorism strategies.
