Posted March 12, 2020 06:17:16 It’s one of those questions that you have to ask yourself before you take a look at your local homicide statistics.
So we’ve compiled a handy graph to show you which states have higher rates of homicide and which ones have lower.
But what is a homicide?
The crime statistics we’ve looked at are those of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which has been running the most recent data since 1976.
So, it has a dataset of more than 8.7 million homicide cases.
The first thing you need to know is what is murder?
In Australia, it is a crime that can involve violence or the threat of violence, whether that is intentional or accidental.
The definition of murder is: murder is the intentional infliction or threat of death or bodily harm on another person, or infliction of grievous bodily harm.
It is the most serious crime in the United Kingdom, and it is punishable by up to life in prison, though it is usually less serious than manslaughter.
Australia’s murder rates are the highest in the world, according to the Australian Crime Commission, with 4,521 murders reported in the year ending June 30, 2018.
That is more than the number of homicides reported in all of the other countries combined, including the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada.
In the United states, the rate is a little higher than in Australia, with 5,979 murders reported last year.
In the United Arab Emirates, however, it’s closer to the U.K. rate, with 2,894 murders reported.
In China, where there are no national statistics, the murder rate is just under 3,000 a year.
