ACLED Protests & Violence In Indonesia 2015-2019

Context

Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) year 2015 -2019 in Indonesia

Content

ACLED collects and codes reported information on political violence, demonstrations
(rioting and protesting) and select non-violent, politically important events. It aims to
capture the modes, frequency and intensity of political violence and opposition as it
occurs.
Political violence is defined as the use of force by a group with a political purpose or
motivation. ACLED records political violence through its constituent events, the intent of
which is to produce a comprehensive overview of all forms of political disorder,
expressed through violence and demonstrations, within and across states. A politically
violent event is a single altercation where often force is used by one or more groups
toward a political end, although some non-violent instances – including protests and
strategic developments – are included in the dataset to capture the potential pre-cursors
or critical junctures of a violent conflict.
