Victims of intentional homicide (ICCS 0101: unlawful death inflicted with intent to cause death or serious injury), all ages: male victims divided by male plus female victims, times 100, from UNODC's counts by sex.

Victims of unknown sex are left out. Counts used: 6625 male, 887 female. UNODC source codes for the two counts: DPKO/NP/CTS/SDG. Only years with at least 20 male plus female victims are used, because a share built on fewer victims swings widely from year to year. Year rule: UNODC and WHO have no common year from 2018 on, so each line uses its own latest year (UNODC 2024, WHO 2004).

Registered deaths with underlying cause assault (ICD-10 X85-Y09), all ages: male deaths divided by male plus female deaths, times 100.

Deaths with sex not stated are left out. Codes used: ICD-10 3- and 4-character codes X85-Y09. Countries that report the condensed Tabulation List 1 contribute its assault item (1102), which covers the same X85-Y09 range. National rows only. Only years with at least 20 male plus female victims are used, because a share built on fewer victims swings widely from year to year. Year rule: UNODC and WHO have no common year from 2018 on, so each line uses its own latest year (UNODC 2024, WHO 2004).

Raw files: morticd10_part1-6.zip (47 male and 4 female assault deaths). WHO publishes the data as the country sent them and does not adjust for incomplete registration. The same file records 8 male and female deaths of undetermined intent (Y10-Y34) for this year; some of these may be homicides.

Why the numbers differ
  • They come from two separate systems: UNODC compiles police and criminal justice records by sex of the victim, while the WHO Mortality Database counts death certificates with the cause coded as assault (ICD-10 X85-Y09) by sex of the deceased.
  • Both shares leave out victims whose sex was not recorded, so they can differ from a share of the total.
  • WHO blanks cells with fewer than 3 deaths in its files. When the counts are split by sex this happens more often, and it can move a share in small countries.
  • Where many deaths go unregistered, or many violent deaths are coded as "undetermined intent", the WHO counts can miss victims, and the missing deaths need not be split by sex the same way.
Common mistakes
  • A share of victims is not a risk. Two countries with the same male share can have very different homicide rates, and a share can change because one group's count moved while the other's stayed the same.
  • The share is about victims, not perpetrators. UNODC publishes data on suspects separately.
