Análise criminal na global terrorism database

摘要

This is a descriptive study from quantitative bivariate and multivariate analyzes, which aims to conduct a Crime Analysis in the Global Terrorism Database to understand the patterns of terrorist attacks in Brazil. A total of 262 records were collected from this database and, on these, non-parametric tests and Multiple Correspondence Analysis were applied. Using the PASW Statistics 18 ? and Microsoft Office Excel 2007 ? tools, the results show that the "Death Squad" is the group that produce the higher numbers of victims and that armed attacks by firearms are the ones with the highest number of fatalities. It is suggested the continuation of similar studies on national or international databases, using Data Mining heuristics to establish comparisons with the results obtained in this study.
