Repression

Curated by: Jan Matti Dollbaum

This category collects research data on state repression and coercive practices. It contains information on the use of force and other control mechanisms by state actors (e.g. police, security services, military) against civilians, political opponents, activists, and other groups. It may also include repressive acts by private actors working in collusion with state authorities. Covered topics include political violence, detention, human rights violations, and restrictions on civil liberties (including censorship), legal repression, or bureaucratic obstruction. Datasets in this category — for instance, quantitative event data, legal and institutional records, qualitative testimonies, and perception surveys — provide empirical evidence to help us understand the patterns, mechanisms, and consequences of state-led repression.
