homicide rates
Killing frequency data
Homicide rates measure the frequency of unlawful killings within a population, typically expressed as deaths per 100,000 people per year.
The metric allows comparison across cities, countries, or time periods: The homicide rate in that city has dropped significantly since the 1990s.
Researchers and policymakers use homicide rates as a key indicator of public safety and violent crime trends.
