Reviews

An indispensable resource for scholars seeking to build and test theories about why governments violate human rights and for policymakers looking for ways to evaluate the human rights consequences of policies. David Cingranelli, Binghamton University, SUNY This work will be a crucial resource for comprehending massive violations of human rights in the real world of incomplete, often biased data. Landman and Carvalho deftly explore the debates and tradeoffs between different data collection schemes and levels of analysis, giving the reader an in-depth view of the current state-of-the-art in academic and NGO research. Strongly recommended! Patrick Ball, Director of the Human Rights Program, Benetech Initiative
