Compared to attacks by Islamic extremists, attacks by far-right extremists are of smaller scale but more frequent. Between 2001-2016, 179 people were killed in 85 attacks in western Europe. Research shows that Sweden has the highest number of extreme-right murders per capita, followed by Germany, mainly targeting immigrants, left-wing activists and the homeless.
