This SAS Visual Analytics report allows users to better understand the evolution of the terrorist threats in Europe.

Don't jump to conclusions... only an in-depth analysis will allow to understand the facts. 

 

At the bottom right, one will notice the general decrease in the 2000's of attacks and casualties. However a dramatic surge occurred in 2015's. This can be mainly attributed to events at the Russian borders and to a lesser extent to the events in France. 

Although historically, UK and Spain have been heavy targets of terrorism as seen at the top right, these countries have seen a significant improvement to their situation. 

 

Machine learning and artificial intelligence allow law enforcement organizations to protect citizens more effectively. Intelligence-led systems allow us to understand these paradigm shifts and adapt to emerging threat faster.

Purpose of the tan color on the dots?

The sliding years bar doesn't work for me, on IE-11 (Yes. I know, not my choice). Is is supposed to?

Yes, this is just a screenshot of the report. I don't think there is a possibility to share the live version as it sits on our local servers here in Belgium.
Hey, what do you mean with tan colors? The red dots are attacks that resulted in more than 10 casualties.

Possible color monitor differences, the dot's on my monitor look more tan than red.

 

Is the word cloud on this image supposed to change with the time frame selected? The displayed attacks in the UK do not look like they support UK as having the most incidents.

 

The word cloud does not change, I thought it would be good to keep in mind the greater picture (the history) when zooming into a year selection. Do you think it should?
