Violent incident data are used to study patterns in conflict activity.

The Pakistan Conflict Monitor uses event data to illustrate trends in the tactics of warfare and the impact of violence on targeted groups. The data are mapped, where possible, to illustrate trends.

Attempts to estimate the number and impact of violent incidents face a number of particular challenges—it can be difficult to determine whether events are truly conflict-related. It can also be difficult to verify the facts when there are multiple versions of events.
