Corporate Crime in Globalized Economy: An Examination of the Corporate Legal Conundrum and Positive Prospects for Peace
www.carleton.ca/cifp/app/serve.php/1054.pdf
From the executive summary of this report: "Corporate misconduct in India, China, Colombia, Chad and Sudan have led to a growing debate surrounding the responsibility and accountability of corporations operating outside their home states. This paper seeks to address the issue of human rights in the era of increasing globalization of capital and exterritorial operations of corporations, particularly in zones of conflict. The existing governance structure for corporations will be evaluated at a national and international level and voluntary codes of conduct and multilateral efforts at establishing business principles will be reviewed. Evidence will be summarized to suggest that national legislation and voluntary corporate codes of conduct are currently an inadequate means of protecting human rights. In order to improve business practices, international efforts must create an external system of compliance and monitoring which ensures corporations adopt conflict-sensitive policies which positively contribute to peace, prosperity and stability for all their stakeholders."

Global Terrorism Index
The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) is the first index to systematically rank and compare 158 countries according to the impact of terrorism. The GTI uses four indicators to measure the impact of terrorism: the number of terrorist incidents, the number of deaths, the number of casualties and the level of property damage. These indicators are used to create a weighted five year average for each country, which takes into account the lasting effects of terrorism. The score given to each country therefore indicates the impact of a terrorist attack on a society in terms of the fear and subsequent security response.

Domestic Violence Dataset: 1982 - 2007
siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTCPR/Resources/407739-1267651559887/Domestic_Violence_Dataset_combined.pdf
Produced by the World Bank, this dataset includes "country-level surveys (or single survey’s modules) on intimate male partner violence (sexual and physical violence) against women from 1982 to 2007. The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) defines intimate male partner violence 'in the form of physical violence, sexual abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, verbal abuse, and specific acts of violence during pregnancy. Women are also harmed by limiting their access to food and medical care, carrying out dowry deaths and honor killings, and coercing them to have sex through rape and/or sexual harassment.' The Domestic Violence Dataset includes surveys from different organizations, with different coverage and sample size, as well as different study population and age groups. The objective is to provide a comprehensive stocktaking of multiple sources, and to allow scholars and practitioners in this field to easily search for surveys on domestic violence from 1982 to 2007 and compare results and methodologies. Main sources include the DHS and the World Health Organization (WHO)."

Produced by the World Bank, this dataset includes "country-level data on the total recorded intentional homicide rate (per 100,000 population) per year, from 1995 to 2008. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), one of the most accredited sources for crime statistics at the global level, defines intentional homicide as "unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person." Data was collected from police and criminal justice sector sources, and public health institutions. Major sources for the Homicide Rate Dataset include national police and statistics offices, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its regional organizations, the UN Crime Trends Surveys, the UNODC Homicide Statistics, and Interpol. Given the fact that often different sources have conflicting homicide rates, the team produced two separate datasets. The first one includes up to three entries of homicide rate per year; the second one includes only one entry (please, refer to the dataset for methodology). In addition, countries have been ranked globally into four levels of homicide rate for the period 1999-2008 with the objective of identifying those countries where homicide has been prevalent in the last decade."

Produced by the World Bank, this dataset includes "country-level episodes of armed conflict and of politically, economically, and socially-motivated collective violence between 1991 and 2008. There are multiple sources and database on armed conflict and collective violence, each responding to a different definition of what violent conflict is. In order to establish a rigorous dataset of violent conflicts and collective violence at the global and regional levels, the majority of entries in the Violent Conflict Dataset come from one single source, which in turn allows for comparative analysis. The primary source used is the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), and the selection of the armed conflict events for this dataset is based on various UCDP datasets. Two major types of armed conflict and collective violence are recorded here: (i) events of armed conflict (1991-2008) recorded in the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset; and (ii) events of non-state conflict recorded in the UCDP Non-State Conflict Dataset. Other sources include the Major Episodes of Political Violence (MEPV) and the IISS Armed Conflict Database. "
