Institute for the Study of Violent Groups
- Institute for the Study of Violent Groups
The Institute for the Study of Violent Groups (ISVG) was established in 2002 at Sam Houston State University through a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the United States Department of Justice. ISVG was originally created to test the feasibility of using a relational database to identify trends, relationships, and tactics of terrorist groups using only open source information. Today, ISVG provides open source data and analysis to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in support of their counter-terrorism mission.
