STATISTICS AS INSTRUMENT OF COUNTERACTION TO INDIVIDUAL TERRORISM

Abstract

The statistics applied in the international practice have universal character and, according to authors of article, can be applied in relation to individual terrorism. Authors come to a conclusion that in this case not only the number of individually conducted terrorist attacks in a year will be taken into consideration (or for any other period of time), but also that damage which was caused (a death toll and the wounded and cumulative damages of material property as a result of individual terrorist attacks). The research conducted by authors showed that similar approach allows to receive a general characteristic of scales and consequences of individual terrorism in society.
