pira_gill — Provisional IRA members (1970-1998)

Description

Networks of relationships among active members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) between 1970 and 1998, divided into time periods, from data collected at the International Center for the Study of Terrorism, Pennsylvania State University, and analysed by Gill et al. (2014). An edge connects two members if they had at least one of four types of relationship: involvement in a PIRA activity together, friendship before joining the PIRA, blood relation, or relation through marriage. The networks period1, period2, period3, period4_5 and period6 correspond to the time periods of the source (periods 4 and 5 are combined), and contain the members active in each period, identified by an anonymous code in name.

The vertex properties give characteristics of the members, coded as 0/1 unless stated otherwise: gender, university (attended university), marital_status, age_at_recruitment (in years), brigade membership (antrim_brigade, derry_brigade, armagh_brigade, down_brigade, tyrone_brigade, and fermanagh_brigade from period 2 on), and their activities in the period: vio (violent), nonvio (non-violent), vforop (violent foreign operation), senior (senior leader), gun (gunman), ied_c (IED constructor), ied_p (IED planter), forop (foreign operation) and rob (robbery). The value 99999 denotes missing data. Data distributed by the UCINET datasets collection (University of Manchester).¹
