The focus of PIPS on internal security is reflected in its several periodic publications. A database on security maintained through extensive media monitoring and reports from correspondents in the field is the basis of weekly and monthly security reports that the Institute publishes. PIPS also brings out an annual security report at the end of each year. These reports are widely disseminated in Pakistan and abroad and not only include casualty figures in terrorist/militant attacks, but also analyse the perpetrators tactics and the security forces response. The reports highlight the challenges thrown up by internal insecurity and their implications for Pakistan, and the ways and means to achieve security not just for Pakistan, but also for the wider region and the world. Another important aspect of PIPS focus on internal security relates to internal conflicts. The Institute publishes weekly and monthly reports on the situation in active theatres of conflict in Pakistan. These periodic publications are: Karachi Watch, Balochistan Watch, and KP and FATA Conflict Monitor. The PIPS reports and analysis present in-depth analysis of the security landscape of the country, and of the factors of insecurity and violence and highlight strategic solutions to reduce the risk of insecurity and violence in the country.
