Data from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime: intentional homicides in absolute numbers, per hundred thousand people and by sex of the victim, the prison population and the capacity of facilities, victims of terrorist attacks. Absolute counts and rates answer different questions, so the section holds both: large countries lead on the number of homicides, and entirely different ones lead on the rate.
The number of intentional homicides per 100,000 people.
1990–2024 Number of intentional homicidesHow many people become victims of intentional homicide in a year — in absolute numbers, from UNODC.
1990–2024 Homicides: male victimsHow many men are killed by intentional homicide in a year. In most countries this is four victims out of five.
1990–2024 Homicides: female victimsHow many women are killed by intentional homicide in a year — an indicator customarily viewed apart from the total.
1990–2023 Homicides of men per 100,000The homicide rate among men — how many victims there are per 100,000 men.
1990–2023 Homicides of women per 100,000The homicide rate among women — how many victims there are per 100,000 women.
1993–2026 Prison population per 100,000How many people are held in places of detention per 100,000 population — including those still under investigation.
2004–2026 Capacity of prisons and detention facilitiesHow many people places of detention are designed for. Set against the number of prisoners, it shows overcrowding.
1989–2024 Battle-related deathsThe number of people killed in armed conflicts on the territory of a country in a year — combatants and civilians together.
