List of countries by intentional homicide rate to 1999

List of countries by homicide rate to 1999 per year per 100,000 inhabitants. The reliability of underlying national homicide rate data may vary.

Homicide demographics are affected by changes in trauma care, leading to changed lethality of violent assaults, so the homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level of societal violence.
