The Violent Incidents Database (VID) exclusively records incidents of religious freedom violations and allows for a high degree of granularity when exploring and analyzing the data. This includes synthesizing various variables which correspond to location and its dimensions. For example, not only is the country where the incident took place was recorded but also the State/Department, and when possible, the city. This enables analysis on the subnational level and facilitates comparisons between incidents of similar characteristics occurring within the same country, leading to more detailed and informed insights. The following report will provide a few examples of subnational insights using data in the VID.
