Version 1.0, published: Sept. 3, 2024.
Description
The dataset contains a coded data matrix of Ukraine’s courts verdicts applying Article 436-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (n=183) in 2015-2023. Courts verdicts concern punishments for the violation of the criminal law ban on the propaganda and public usage of the Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes in Ukraine (Article 436-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), previously introduced by the 2015 ‘De-Communization’ Law in criminal legislation. A separate file features a codebook with coding rules to calibrate legal data into a crisp-set data matrix. Particularly, the dataset explores the information about the scopes of prosecutorial and judicial decision-making in criminal cases, application of ECHR law, types of punishment used in criminal cases, geographic distribution of the verdicts as well as some other parameters.
Data collection was supported MEMOCRACY consortium sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation (research grant agreement No. 120221).
The dataset was compiled and is owned by Dr Andrii Nekoliak (T.M.C. Asser Institute-University of Amsterdam). Due to an ongoing nature of the research project, the access to the data is restricted.
