kidnappings — Abu Sayyaf kidnappings (2014)
- Description
A bipartite network of members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), a violent non-state armed group operating in the southern Philippines since 1991, and the kidnapping events in which they took part. The data were reconstructed by L. Gerdes, K. Ringler and B. Autin from open sources, in a study of the group's strategic and learning capacities, and distributed in the UCINET collection of covert networks. There are 246 persons and 105 kidnapping events, and an edge connects a person to an event in which they participated.
The network has the following properties:
- (Node)
name: anonymized label of the node (N1,N2, ... for persons,E1,E2, ... for events). - (Node)
is_event: whether the node is a kidnapping event (True) or a group member (False).
