About the indicator

The number of intentional homicides per 100,000 people, from UNODC. It is considered the most comparable indicator of violent crime across countries: unlike statistics on theft or fraud, it depends little on the willingness of citizens to go to the police — most homicides are recorded in medical data as well.
