| description |
This brief paper summarizes results from
an analysis of the World Development Report (WDR) homicide
dataset (February 24, 2010), which is based primarily on
estimates from the United Nations Office against Drugs and
Crime (UNODC), with some changes or additions from national
sources and the World Health organization (WHO). Although
homicide rates appear to be the most reliable cross-national
measure of crime, the best estimates have are still probably
much less reliable than parallel measures have for presence
and scale of civil conflict involving organized armed
groups. This is so for two main reasons. First, the data are
collected and reported by country agencies (police,
usually), and procedures, definitions, and competence can
vary greatly across countries and over time within them.
Looking at the time series for particular countries suggests
in many cases that large changes must be due to changed
procedures or data collection policies, rather than changes
in actual homicide rates. Second, there is a great deal of
missing data. |
