Three classifications of states for further
comparative analysis: states experiencing collective political violence with excessive targeting of
civilians (CPVCIV), states experiencing political violence without excessive targeting of
civilians (CPVNOCIV), and states without collective political violence. The first two
classifications provided ordinal magnitude scales, ranging from 1 to 4; the third classification
was used as a common baseline control set (scaled value “0�).

The Collective Political Violence (CPV) scale reflects general, ordinal levels of state, non-state,
and communal group violence within a particular country during the 1990s. The scale also
reflects whether the episode(s) of collective political violence resulted in an excessive targeting
of civilians. The term “excessive targeting of civilians� focuses on the deliberate and systematic
use of violence against non-combatant populations in situations of political conflict by either
state or non-state actor groups that can be considered in excess of the general suffering of
civilian populations that is associated with warfare.
