Data for this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).2-6 The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook7 and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Reports,8 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, which has also been kind enough to provide directly more recent data. Except for mortality data by cause and age, which are based on a 10% sample, all the US data for 1984 are estimates by place of occurrence, based upon a count of certificates received in state offices between two dates, 1 month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimates, with few exceptions, are close to the subsequent final figures. There are, however, considerable variations in some states, particularly in comparing data by place of occurrence and place of residence. State information should be interpreted cautiously.

Data for this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report,2-7 published by the National Center for Health Statistics. The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook8 and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Report,9 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, which has also been kind enough to provide directly more recent data. Except for mortality data by cause and age, which are based on a 10% sample, all the US data for 1983 are estimates by place of occurrence based upon a count of certificates received in state offices between two dates, one month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimates are very close to the subsequent final figures. There are, however, considerable variations in a few of the states, particularly in comparing data by place of occurrence with data by place of residence. State information should be interpreted cautiously.

Data from this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).2-6 The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook7 and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Report,8 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, which has also been kind enough to provide directly more recent data. Except for mortality data by cause and age, which are based on a 10% sample, all the US data for 1986 are estimates by place of occurrence, based upon a count of certificates received in state offices between two dates, 1 month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimates, with few exceptions, are close to the subsequent final figures. There are considerable variations in some states, however, particularly in comparing provisional figures by place of occurrence and final data by place of residence. State information should be interpreted cautiously. Careful attention should be paid to the denominator when studying rates presented in this article. For overall rates, like the birth rate or death rate, the standard denominator is 1,000 total population. In instances where more refined analysis is possible, the denominator may be 100,000 and the character of the population specified. The particular denominator is indicated in the table or in the context.

National data for this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report,2,3 published by the National Center for Health Statistics. The international data come chiefly from the United Nations Demographic Yearbook4 and the quarterly, Population and Vital Statistics,5 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. These are official government reports, but the provisional data sometimes omit significant factors related to the World Health Organization definition of a live birth and an infant death. In such instances, data from World Health Organization Reports6 or direct communications from ministries of health7 have been substituted.

Using the most recent and unpublished international data provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, we discuss the geography of male and female homicides in Europe, the US and Canada during the period 2003–15. We observe declining trends in mortality for both male and female homicide in most of these countries. For within-family homicides, geographical differences are much less pronounced compared with those occurring outside the family, especially if the victim is a woman and the perpetrator is the partner or former partner. Only for men is the risk of being the victim of a homicide committed by a family member greater where the risk of being killed by someone outside the family is also higher.
