Insecurity Insight is a team of experts who apply an innovative method for generating data on the impact of insecurity on people's lives and wellbeing. This method, based on the 'Taback-Coupland model' of armed violence, has been used to study:
the nature and patterns of people's insecurity during armed conflict
insecurity associated with sexual, criminal and insurgent violence
insecurity arising from particular categories of weapon (e.g. bombs, small arms)
insecurity among particular groups of victims, such as journalists and humanitarian workers
The method helps with:
the planning and monitoring of programmes to protect people in danger
research into the causes and consequences of people's insecurities and its connection with other social phenomena, such as elections, poverty, and health care
Insecurity Insight runs independent projects and assists partners in gathering data or making better use of existing data.
