Demographic Profile, Mapping, and Punishment of Terrorist Convicts in Indonesia: An Introduction to the Indonesian Terrorism Cases Database

To support counter-terrorism and preventing violent extremism in Indonesia, the Center for Detention Studies (CDS) has collected data on court decisions of criminal acts of terrorism that occurred from 2002 to 2023. A total of 712 cases have been collected and processed in the Indonesian Terrorism Cases Database. The database contains information related to terrorist offenders such as demographic profile, network characteristics, and sentencing patterns. This database also displays terrorist crime hotspots to guide authorities, NGOs, and practitioners in directing their prevention efforts. The target users of this database are the National Counter-Terrorism Agency staff, judges, prosecutors, police, correctional institutions, as well as academics, NGOs, and researchers. This article is our initial attempt to introduce the database to a wider audience.
