Who reports it, and since when
No source of these kinds: police and justice records, independent count.
- Single source: nothing to check it against
figure no figure here, inside its range no later figure recorded change
Why the numbers differ
- They come from two separate systems: UNODC compiles police and criminal justice records, while the WHO Mortality Database counts death certificates with the cause coded as assault (ICD-10 X85-Y09).
- Older UN crime survey series included attempted homicides for some countries, so older police figures can run above death records.
- Death registration is not equally complete everywhere. Where many deaths go unregistered, or many violent deaths are coded as "undetermined intent", the WHO count falls below the police count.
- Research comparing UN and WHO homicide data (Andersson and Kazemian) found that the two differ in level but show similar patterns. (source, retrieved 2026-10-25)
Common mistakes
- Numbeo's "Crime Index" is not a crime rate. Numbeo builds it from surveys answered by its website visitors about how safe they feel, not from police or death records. (source, retrieved 2026-10-25)
