Morning!  Check out Reed Wood‘s post at Political Violence @ a Glance on the lack of improvement in core physical integrity rights over time.

It’s not just the Political Terror Scale, either – the Physical Integrity Index from Cingranelli and Richards (CIRI) Human Rights Dataset shows the same lack of improvement over time.

Update:  Check out K. Chad Clay’s take on the issue at  The Quantitative Peace.
