Trinidad and Tobago: Weekly Political Violence and Demonstration Event Counts

Aggregated weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Trinidad and Tobago are provided by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The data is organized into country-year and country-month summaries and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of political violence frequency over time using country-month aggregates.
• Risk assessment for civilian-targeting incidents to inform humanitarian or security planning.
• Correlation studies between demonstration event counts and national policy changes.

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency ensures current monitoring of conflict trends.
• Standardized event categories (political violence, civilian-targeting, demonstrations) used by ACLED.
• Aggregated by both country-year and country-month for multi-level temporal analysis.

Limitations

• Does not include granular event-level data such as specific locations or actors without external registration.
• Limited to Trinidad and Tobago, preventing regional comparative analysis within this specific file.
