Abstract This study is an examination of country level factors associated with governmental violation of the integrity of the body and security of the person, which includes arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial killing. Two instruments, the U.S. State Department Scale and the Amnesty International Scale, were used to measure governmental violations. All data were collected from secondary sources. The final samples consisted of 46 countries for the State Department Scale analysis and 32 countries for the Amnesty International Scale analysis. Contextual analyses yielded inconsistent results for the ethnic diversity and democratic structure coefficients. The results provided little to no support for a relationship between religious diversity, linguistic diversity, scarcity, casualties from war, and governmental violations.
