This site contains a series of charts that describe homicide patterns
and trends in the United States since 1976.
Homicide is of interest not only because of its severity but also because
it is a fairly reliable barometer of all violent crime. At a national
level, no other crime is measured as accurately and precisely.
The data on this site may differ slightly from previously published figures
because of updates to the data files after publication and the imputation
methods used.
- The latest updates and additions:
- What's new in Homicide Trends
- The Supplemental Homicide Reports that are the primary data source for this presentation are available at the:

Archive of Criminal Justice Data
