https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/The Global Terrorism Database, maintained by START at the University of Maryland, allows the user to trace trends in the use of terrorist violence, and find how groups motivated by different causes carried out their campaigns, who they targeted and how geographically-restricted they were.
https://www.visionofhumanity.org/maps/global-terrorism-index/The Global Terrorism Index, produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, provides an annual report on the impact of terrorism within a given year.
