Description
The paper compares and contrasts data and findings from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)–sponsored research projects on violent extremism, mass shootings, and bias crimes. The comparison examines both the content and creation/coverage of data from four research projects: the Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United States (PIRUS) database, the Bias Incidents and Actors Study (BIAS) database, the National Hate Crime Investigation Study (NHCIS) database, and the Violence Project dataset.
