ACLED Event Analysis

ACLED event analysis is the disaggregated study of political violence and protest using the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project, introduced by Raleigh, Linke, Hegre, and Karlsen (2010). ACLED codes individual events — battles, violence against civilians, riots, protests, explosions and remote violence, and strategic developments — with their date, location, actors, and any fatalities, updated on a near-weekly basis. Its fine granularity and timeliness make it a workhorse for mapping, monitoring, and modeling where, when, and by whom political violence occurs.
