Replication Data for: "Crime, Conflict and the Legitimacy Tradeoff: Explaining Variation in Insurgents' Participation in Crime"

This dataset is an extract from the Big Allied and Dangerous (BAAD) Version 2.0 dataset used to create the results published in the article entitled "Crime, Conflict and the Legitimacy Tradeoff: Explaining Variation in Insurgents' Participation in Crime" The Big Allied and Dangerous (BAAD) project focuses on creation and maintenance of a comprehensive database of terrorist and insurgent organizations – collectively referred to as “violent nonstate actors” (VNSAs) – and linking that data to prominent event, insurgency, and country characteristics datasets. Big Allied and Dangerous Version 2.0. BAAD Version 2.0 (BAAD2) contains data on nearly 600 and terrorist and insurgent organizations active 1998-2015 (with extension through 2017 planned). Organized into yearly time slices, BAAD2 records information on organizational characteristics (demographics, ideology, political activity, structure, leadership, exposure to counter-terrorism activity, social service provision, and engagement in violence) and organizational network relationships (both positive and negative). This extract contains only insurgent organizations found in the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) Battle Deaths dataset for the period 1998-2012 and only those variables used in the analysis for the article noted above.
