What This Homicide Figure Means

This game compares intentional homicides per 100,000 people..

  • The value shown is the latest country-year observation available through the source indicator.
  • It is a cross-country comparison tool, not the whole story about the place.
  • The point is to notice where a simple-looking percentage or rate is really measuring policy, infrastructure, and distribution.

Homicide is a death count, but the differences behind it are policing, inequality, guns, gangs, impunity, and state reach all at once.
