I think Pinker is right about violence and war but reductions in those are probably offset by social aggression and surveillance as Gray mentions when he talks about the panopticon and incarceration rates. We are biological creatures and we should expect that when interests collide there will be aggression. When violence is hampered, it turns into other forms of aggression.
