Sumario: | One of the areas in terrorism that has not been adequately examined, is the geographic concentration of terror attacks in a city’s micro places. The literature related to the geographical distribution of terror generally focuses on macro places: continents, countries, and regions.

This study examines whether there is a concentration of terror attacks in a limited number of hot spots that are stable over time. |
