UK Murder Statistics

For some  reason the UK government are not very forthcoming on providing these statistics, plus we have the battle of recorded crime versus reported crime and the ambiguity of the British crime Survey. if you find a reliable source we would love to know.

In 2002, 16,110 people were murdered in the USA. / In 1999 23,000 were killed in Colombia.

In 1967 the government changed the way crimes were recorded. Some originally recorded as homicide were no longer counted as homicide, these include deaths caused by the IRA, which were moved from murder to acts of terrorism. For example, and those reclassified as manslaughter.

2002 - 2003 = 1,048 - (876) This includes 172 attributed to Harold Shipman

2005 - 2006 = 765 includes 54 victims of the July bombings in London

As of March 2003 there were 3,500 men serving a sentence in prison for murder or manslaughter
