SOURCES: Corruption measures the share of senior managers who ranked corruption as a major or very severe constraint.; Lack confidence that courts uphold property rights is the share of senior managers who do not agree with the statement: I am confident that the judicial system will enforce my contractual and property rights in business disputes.; Courts measure the share of senior managers who ranked courts and dispute resolution systems as a major or very severe constraint.; Number of known executions in the country (Data is for 1998). Because these figures include only documented cases; the true figures are likely to be much higher.;
; Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.
; Data for 2003. Number of prisoners held. Different reporting practices mean that that statistics, whilst broadly correct, are not exact. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reporst that a further 110,284 juveniles were held in custodial institutions at October 2000 and a further 1,912 in 'jails in Indian country' at 30.6.2001.; Female prisoners, expressed as a percentage share of the total prison population. Data for 2003.; Data for 2003. Number of prisoners held per 100,000 population.; The percentage of the prison population that is being held pre-trial / on remand. Data for 2003.; The percentage of the offical prison capacity filled. This is obtained by comparing the number of prisoners in a nation to the offical capacity of the nation's prison system. Data for 2003.; The piracy losses are calculated using the known size of the legitimate software market of the country and using the piracy rate to derive the retail value of the software that was not paid for (Data is for 2004).; Piracy rate - the number of pirated software units divided by the total number of units put into use (Data is for 2004).; Number of unpaid parking fines incurred in Britain in 1991 by diplomats protected by diplomatic immunity. According to Mr Lennox-Boyd, Forty alleged serious offences by persons entitled to diplomatic immunity were drawn to the attention of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1991. "Serious offences" are defined in accordance with the Report to the Foreign Affairs Committee "The Abuse of Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges"--1985--as offences falling into a category which would in certain circumstances attract a maximum penalty of six months or more imprisonment. The majority involved drinking and driving, and shoplifting. Seven diplomats were withdrawn from their posts in Britain in 1991 following alleged offences, as against six in the previous year.
