2,410 rated or chosen profiles from 1,205 respondents, in up to 1 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 4 attributes.
| Description | 1,205 Mexican respondents each saw one pair of photographs of security personnel varying in uniform (police/military), weapon, gender and skin colour; outcomes are a forced choice of who is more effective and four 0-1 ratings (effectiveness, civil liberties, corruption, acceptance in own neighbourhood). |

| Respondents | 1,205 |
|---|---|
| Rows (one per respondent, task and profile) | 2,410 |
| Tasks per respondent (most) | 1 |
| Profiles per task | 2 |
| Attributes | 4 |
| Tasks with no profile chosen | 0 |
| Topic | crime justice policing |
|---|---|
| A profile represents | person |
| Country | MX |
| Language shown | unknown |
| Language of stored levels | en |
| Randomization restrictions | observed in the data (not documented by the source): the two photos in a pair always differ (0 identical pairs of 1,205; ~75 expected under independent draws of the 16 photos) |
| Task order | inferred from row order |
| Profile position | recorded in the deposit |
Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead. Task order or profile position was rebuilt from row order; analyses of position or task order should leave it out.
