Abstract
The Violence Against Public Figures (VAPF) Project seeks to create the first comprehensive cross-national, panel dataset tracking cases of lethal violence against public figures in Central America from 2008-present. This dataset tracks lethal violence against public figures involved in politics, activism, judicial activities, and media and includes cases from all 7 Central American countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, and Panama.
