The University of Maryland’s START program is pleased to announce its partnership with Protogetic, The Protective Design Marketplace. START sees this new strategic relationship as a way to get important research and data into the hands of more groups and organizations that can benefit from it. This relationship is an important step in expanding START’s user base and educating a multitude of groups and organizations that previously were not able to access this type of information and data.
GTD Database
The GTD is an open-source database including information on socially disruptive events around the world from 1970 through 2020 (with annual updates planned for the future).
Pirus
Data Set
The PIRUS dataset contains deidentified individual-level information on the backgrounds, attributes, and development processes of over 3,500 violent and non-violent anti-socials who adhere to strong biased ideologies in the United States covering 1948-2022.
NuFAD Database
The NuFAD Database is a global database recording breaches of nuclear facilities. The database emerged when several START researchers sought to explore the potential threats to nuclear facilities and discovered that there was a general lack of systematic open source data on the topic.
Anti Social
Crime Maps
The Anti Social Crime Maps tool displays a comprehensive list of acts committed in the United States since 2016 that were motivated by anti social theories. The first map allows users to explore these events and access information about their locations, motives, and outcomes.
