List of countries by intentional homicide rate

See also: List of countries by intentional homicide rate by decade
List of countries by intentional homicide rate per year per 100,000 inhabitants. The
reliability of underlying national murder rate data may vary.[1] The legal definition of
"intentional homicide" differs among countries. Intentional homicide may or may not
include infanticide, assisted suicide or euthanasia. Intentional homicide demographics
are affected by changes in trauma care, leading to changed lethality of violent
assaults, so the intentional homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level
of societal violence.[2] They may also be underreported for political reasons.[3][4]
Another problem for the comparability of the following figures is that some data may
include attempts. In general the values in these lists should not include attempts
except when mentioned otherwise.
A study undertaken by the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development
estimated that there were approximately 490,000 intentional homicides in 2004. The
study estimated that the global rate was 7.6 intentional homicides per 100,000
inhabitants for 2004.[5] For the year 2010 UNODC made a similar study. It presumed a
number of 468,000 intentional homicides for this year. That would correspond to a
worldwide rate of 6.9.[6]

[edit] Global study
The UNODC made a study in 2012 that includes most countries of the world. The
following lists show only the most recent data. Intentional homicide in this case is
defined as unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person.[7]

"intentional homicide" differs among countries. Intentional homicide may or may not
include infanticide, assisted suicide or euthanasia. Intentional homicide demographics
are affected by changes in trauma care, leading to changed lethality of violent
assaults, so the intentional homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level
of societal violence.[2] They may also be underreported for political reasons.[3][4]
Another problem for the comparability of the following figures is that some data may
include attempts. In general the values in these lists should not include attempts
except when mentioned otherwise.
A study undertaken by the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development
estimated that there were approximately 490,000 intentional homicides in 2004. The
study estimated that the global rate was 7.6 intentional homicides per 100,000
inhabitants for 2004.[5] For the year 2010 UNODC made a similar study. It presumed a
number of 468,000 intentional homicides for this year. That would correspond to a
worldwide rate of 6.9.[6]

[edit] Global study
The UNODC made a study in 2012 that includes most countries of the world. The
following lists show only the most recent data. Intentional homicide in this case is
defined as unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person.[7]
