人权问题正在塑造现代世界。它们定义了评判国家的期望，并影响着政府、企业和基金会的政策。他们在海牙国际刑事法院（International Criminal Court）的起诉、国际货币基金组织（International Monetary Fund）的融资决定以及跨国公司的企业扩张计划中设定议程。统计数据是现代人权观的核心。它使研究人员能够衡量卫生保健政策的效果、教育机会的普及以及在实现性别平等方面取得的进展。创业慈善事业的新浪潮要求对里程碑式的成就进行影响评估和记录。非政府组织需要统计数据来建立案例，进行调查，并有针对性地开展工作。这本书描述了人权社会科学研究的基础统计数据。它包括案例研究、方法论和讨论基本度量问题的研究论文。它的目的是介绍应用人权研究。这本书的编辑是Jana Asher， David Banks和Fritz Scheuren。亚娜·阿舍领导了塞拉利昂的第一次全国人权调查，并为伊拉克、科索沃、东帝汶和秘鲁的调查提供了统计支持。她是美国科学促进会科学与人权项目的前高级项目助理。大卫·班克斯是杜克大学统计学教授、美国统计协会会员、罗杰·赫里奥特奖获得者，现任《美国统计协会杂志》编辑。Fritz Scheuren，美国统计协会前任主席，美国统计协会会员，芝加哥大学全国民意研究中心统计副总裁。他曾在科索沃、阿富汗、秘鲁、危地马拉、东帝汶和哥伦比亚进行人权统计，并为格鲁吉亚的千年挑战提案提供咨询。
Human rights issues are shaping the modern world. They define the expectations by which nations are judged and affect the policy of governments, corporations, and foundations. They have set the agenda in prosecutions at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, funding decisions by the International Monetary Fund, and corporate expansion programs by multinationals. Statistics is central to the modern perspective on human rights. It allows researchers to measure the effect of health care policies, the penetration of educational opportunity, and progress towards gender equality. The new wave of entrepreneurial charities demands impact assessments and documentation of milestone achievement. Non-governmental organizations need statistics to build cases, conduct surveys, and target their efforts. This book describes the statistics that underlie the social science research in human rights. It includes case studies, methodology, and research papers that discuss the fundamental measurement issues. It is intended as an introduction to applied human rights research. The editors of the book are Jana Asher, David Banks, and Fritz Scheuren. Jana Asher led the first national human rights survey in Sierra Leone and provided statistical support for surveys in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor and Peru. She is the former Senior Program Associate in the Science and Human Rights Program at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. David Banks is a professor of statistics at Duke University, Fellow of the American Statistical Association, recipient of the Roger Herriott Award, and currently editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Fritz Scheuren is the past-president of the American Statistical Association, a Fellow of the ASA, and Vice-President of Statistics at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. He has done human rights statistics in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Peru, Guatemala, East Timor and Columbia, and he advises the Country of Georgia on their Millennium Challenge proposal.
