Abstract: The data contain the principal indicators of independent variables developed by Ted Robert Gurr for use in testing models of the causes of civil violence. Most indices were constructed to meet the theoretical requirements of the investigators' research on civil violence. General categories of data are basic social properties, social processes, economic processes, social rigidities, coercive interventions, regime coercion, conflict traditions, regime characteristics, and dissident group characteristics.
