The Private Security Events Database (PSED)

THE PRIVATE SECURITY EVENTS DATABASE (PSED) provides information on more than 1200 events related to private military and security companies in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia from 1990-2012. It includes information on the services PMSCs provide, the clients they work for, and the consequences of their actions. An updated version extending the data to 2016 will be released later in 2019. Additional information about the database, including a visualization of some of its data, is available at psed.siecenter.du.edu.
