What the Research Shows

A major study led by researchers from the University of Maryland and published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) compared violent acts committed by left-wing, right-wing, and Islamist extremists in the U.S. using two large datasets:

  • PIRUS dataset (1948–2018): Found that the probability of a violent act being committed by a:
    • Left-wing extremist was 0.33
    • Right-wing extremist was 0.61
    • Islamist extremist was 0.62
  • Global Terrorism Database (1970–2017): Also showed that right-wing extremists were significantly more violent than left-wing extremists.
So, based on these datasets, right-wing extremists have been more likely to commit acts of violence in the U.S. than their left-wing counterparts.
