International Terrorism: Attributes of Terrorist Events (ITERATE), 1968-2015

The ITERATE project is an attempt to quantify data on the characteristics of transnational terrorist groups, their activities which have international impact, and the environment in which they operate. ITERATE 3 and 4 update the coverage of terrorist incidents first reported in ITERATE 1 and 2, which can be obtained from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. The dataset consists of four parts. Nearly all incidents appear in the COMMON file, which the FATE, HOSTAGE and SKYJACK files supplement. Some non-terrorist domestic skyjackings appear in the SKYJACK file and not in the COMMON file. In cases in which we know what happened to the terrorists, we record their destiny in the FATE file. Variables specific to hostage-taking incidents, inc luding aerial, land, and sea hijackings, barricade-and-hostage situations, and kidnappings are provided in the HOSTAGE file.ITERATE项目旨在对具有国际影响力的跨国恐怖团伙的特征、相关活动及其活动环境的相关数据进行量化分析。ITERATE 3与4对首次收录于ITERATE 1和2的恐怖事件覆盖范围进行了更新，该数据集可从政治与社会研究大学间联合会（Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research）获取。本数据集共分为四个部分。几乎所有恐怖事件均收录于COMMON文件（COMMON），该文件由FATE文件（FATE）、HOSTAGE文件（HOSTAGE）与SKYJACK文件（SKYJACK）予以补充。部分非恐怖主义的国内劫机事件仅收录于SKYJACK文件（SKYJACK），并未出现在COMMON文件（COMMON）中。当明确恐怖分子的最终去向时，我们会在FATE文件（FATE）中记录其命运。HOSTAGE文件（HOSTAGE）则提供了针对人质事件的专属变量，涵盖空中、陆地及海上劫持、绑架人质对峙事件以及绑架案件。
