Quantifying conflict violence: Examples from the Human Rights Data Analysis Group

Collecting data during and in the immediate aftermath of a conflict is difficult and dangerous. Often the result is a patchwork of records covering different portions of the conflict.

This presentation will include case studies and examples from HRDAG's work around the world.
