摘要：In a recent quantitative analysis of the past 40 years of terrorist activity in New York City, the FDNY’s Center for Terrorism and Disaster Preparedness identified several trends in terrorist activity that may have value to future policy formation, both in New York City and in similar municipalities elsewhere. This article will discuss this study, which involved the compilation and analysis of relevant data on all terrorist activity in New York City from 1975-2015, including the specific location of terrorist activity, attack motivation, group affiliation, and weapons used. The success of this study in distilling actionable intelligence from a data set assembled exclusively through open-source research serves as an example of the emerging importance and applicability of quantitative data analytics for the field of Homeland Security.
