Denmark: fear of a terror attack 2023

In Denmark, the share of people who were worried or very worried that a terrorist attack would happen in the country increased in 2015 and 2017. In 2015, a terrorist killed five people in Copenhagen, and a series of terrorist attacks in other European countries between 2015 and 2017 probably spurred the Danes' fear of terrorism. However, since then, the share of Danes who were worried that a terrorist attack would harm Denmark decreased to 23 percent.
