About the Data

The Program on Extremism at George Washington University meticulously tracked every federal January 6 defendant by leveraging publicly available federal court records and open-source reporting. Researchers systematically compiled and verified case details, ensuring accuracy and comprehensiveness in their dataset. By cross-referencing legal documents, indictments, and media reports, the program provided a reliable resource for understanding the scope of prosecutions and trends among those charged in connection with the Capitol attack.
