Talk:Homicide statistics by gender

If the rate,

as in homicide rate, is per 100K of population, the sum of the ratios for men and women cannot add up to the ratio for the whole population. However this table shows that men are much more likely to be victims of murder, but the rate shown has to be wrong. For instance, for the UK we have 653 murders, a homicide rate for the whole population of 1, 70.3% of victims are male, and 29.7% of victims are female. Adding the two rates cannot produce 100% because the total populations of men and women are roughly equal. For instance if a populaton of 100 people, fifty men and fifty women had 10 murders, all men, the murder rate would be 10%. But the murder rate for men would be 20%, and for women 0%.

someone has made a mistake somewhere, and I don't know where or how to fix it.

I AGREE - WISH I HAD DATA I WOULD FIX... THE RATES ARE WRONG BY GENDER

-The math is wrong, in the case of Japan and Hong Kong at least, Hong Kong 14/27 = 51,85% it displays 52.9%, Japan 224/442 = 50,68% it displays 52.9% 188.82.186.212 (talk) 03:28, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

New Zealand Data

The New Zealand data here is horribly cherry picked. . This report has an 8-year average of 40% women, yet the statistic chosen for the table is the one with the highest percent women: 2010, 52%. Why not just use the 8-year average? Gavwah (talk) 02:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Needs perpetrator stats also

Article needs to be expanded to include stats relating to perpetrators as well. Thinker78 (talk) 19:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Kind of hard to trust the graph when they can't get the Totals right

World: Total - 436,621

Males - 343,582 Females - 93,033

Table uses old 2013 data. 2023 is latest data

Latest data is found here:
"Intentional Homicide". dataunodc.un.org. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Table by country. Latest available year varies by country. Some have 2023 data. Can select for few or many countries, regions, years. You can shrink the width of the table to see all the options, and all the years you selected. To do so drag the zoom bar button at the bottom of the page. There is a dataset link to download all the data.

The dataset link has the most data. For help creating a new table from this see:

• Help:Tables and locations

List of countries by intentional homicide rate uses the same source. See its talk page to find its instructions linked under the talk header stuff:

• Talk:List of countries by intentional homicide rate/LibreOffice Calc instructions

Those instructions could be adapted to use here. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:10, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Wrong description

It starts by saying women are more victims than men but it’s the opposite, I never edited in wiki so maybe someone else can change it 62.194.112.251 (talk) 19:35, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

That's how we all started. Just fix it. You can always revert your mistakes, or edit further. --Timeshifter (talk) 23:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
