What is disappearance? In short, it is a repressive tactic used by authoritarian states to terrorize the civilian population into submission.
While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.
Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.
Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.

Ah, the irony: Academia's obsession with measuring everything has led to 10,000 retracted papers in 2023. Turns out when you treat research like a high-score competition, people start playing games instead of doing science!
I have two hours for research, let's implement some ideas!
Figure out how to install libraries and get the data in the right format
