Abstract
Utilizing previous research on personal integrity rights violations, I attempt to expound upon the theory that economic growth and education promotes political stability which in turn might alleviate a perception of relative deprivation and violence in a society. I predict that increases in education and reductions in income inequality might reduce the incidences of state-sponsored repression.I operationalize income inequality by utilizing GINI coefficients, which measure a population distribution of income on a scale of zero to one. This research employed a time-series cross sectional analysis, which allows better explanation of the relationship between the personal integrity right violation and socio-economic condition. The test results illustrate that there are statistically significant relationship between the human rights violation and subsistence rights as expected.
