The Domestic Terrorism Offender-Level Database (DTOLD) is the first publicly available offender-level terrorism database that prioritizes psychosocial, trauma-related, and life history variables. Loosely modeled on the publicly available Mass Shooter Database (MSD) of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center (VPPRC), DTOLD was constructed with three goals: avoiding duplication of Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United States (PIRUS) data, ensuring integration with other datasets, and prioritizing psychosocial, trauma-related, and life history variables. The final dataset aggregates data on 319 domestic terrorists, and can be used to explore issues including affiliation, leakage, and lethality.
