Infographic: Victims of Terrorist Attacks Inside and Outside Western Europe
SPOTLIGHT, 4 Apr 2016
Statista – TRANSCEND Media Service
After the attacks in Paris, terrorism seems possible anytime and anywhere around the globe. In this intense and acute atmosphere, Statista has created two charts that attempt to broaden the perspective: one infographic looks back at the last decades in Western Europe; the other one shows the death toll of terrorism in countries outside Western Europe. These numbers do not give clear answers; they rather lead to new questions: Why does it look like the level of fear in Western Europe is so much higher today than in the 1970s and 1980s? And how should European governments act with so many more people being killed by terrorism outside Europe than within?
