The Human Security Report Project (HSRP) is based at Simon Fraser
University in Canada, and it "conducts research on global and regional
trends in political violence, their causes and consequences and
presents its findings in a manner that is accessible to the policy and
research communities, the media, educators and the interested public."
The "About" section states that the e-resources it provides through its
website has effectively changed the way human security issues are
understood and managed. The "Publications" link on the left hand side
menu provides access to the "Human Security Brief" for 2005-2007, as
well as to "Articles", "Books", "Book Chapters", "Workshop Reports" and
"Opinion Pieces". The categories of data used in the HSRP are fleshed
out in the "Data Resources" link on the left hand side of the page. The
categories of data used are "Armed Conflict", "Deadly Assault on
Civilians", "Terrorism", and "Other Human Security Indicators". The
nine "Research Initiatives" of the HSRP can be accessed on the right
hand side menu. [KMG] From Scout Report
