WHO Mortality Database, deaths by assault, by sexWorld Health Organization (WHO) · Death and health registersRetrieved 2026-10-25 | 70.32023 | 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: only WHO has data for this country, so its latest year is used. Raw files: morticd10_part1-6.zip (26 male and 11 female assault deaths). WHO publishes the data as the country sent them and does not adjust for incomplete registration. The same file records 263 male and female deaths of undetermined intent (Y10-Y34) for this year; some of these may be homicides. | 4 of 5 checks

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.
