Societal tensions measures popular unrest as potential precursors of violence. Public expressions of dissatisfaction in the form of protests and riots may escalate into further violence, but can also be solved by concessions and compromise or be successfully suppressed. Societal tensions are measured based on the number of protests and riots in the geographic neighborhood while taking into account the permissiveness of the political system towards this.
