2/12: For the first time, the RTV dataset offers full coverage not only of fatal attacks since 1990 (n=253) but also nearly all severe but non-fatal attacks since 2010 (n=1772). This expanded scope boosts the potential for both trend analysis and statistical insights. Here are some key findings:

3/12: Fatal attacks in Western Europe have declined significantly since the 1990s and 2000s, stabilizing at an average of about 5 per year. Notably, no fatal attack was recorded in 2023.

5/12: While fatal attacks have become less frequent, the number of fatalities per attack has risen since 2010 due to several mass-casualty events — most notably the 22 July 2011 attack in Norway.

6/12: Some countries experience significantly more RTV than others, and most saw a decrease in RTV in 2023 compared to their annual average from 2010–2022. However, a notable exception to this trend is France.
