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
