Sommario/riassunto

In the last three years, Europe and North America have been hit by an unprecedented wave of terrorist attacks, carried out by individuals inspired by jihadist ideology. Who are the authors of these attacks? Are they born and raised in the West or are they refugees and migrants? How are they radicalized? Were they well educated and integrated or, on the contrary, lived on the margins of society? Have they acted alone? What were their connections with the Islamic State? Answering these and other questions is useful for understanding the nature and scope of the threat and for being able to identify adequate political solutions based on empirical evidence. The study - the first of this type - aims to analyze the demographic profile, the trajectories of radicalization and the links with the Islamic State of the individuals who carried out jihadist attacks in Europe and North America from the proclamation of the so-called Caliphate in June 2014.
