Abstract

This article presents the first systematic database, based on documentary information, about the circumstances around the kidnappings committed in Spain by ETA and its related organizations. Its main purpose, therefore, is to make the database itself publicly available for the academic community by offering free access to it in the website of our research group. We also provide a first utilization of the database by analyzing its different variables, which gives us a better understanding of the phenomenon of Basque nationalist terrorism, whose violent action has been present in Spanish society over the past decades.
