List of countries by homicide rate per year per 100,000 inhabitants for the years from 2000 onwards. The reliability of underlying national homicide rate data may vary.[1]

Homicide demographics are affected by changes in trauma care, leading to changed lethality of violent assaults, so the homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level of societal violence.[2] They may also be underreported for political reasons.[citation needed]
