Homicidios por 100.000 no Mundo e no Brasil - Salvador já é a 4 capital no rank

De uma maneira geral, se perguntarmos as pessoas nas ruas qual a cidade mais violenta no Brasil, todos de imediato mencionam Rio de Janeiro ou São Paulo, mas é um erro de informação, a capital mais violenta é Macéio, e Salvador é a quarta. Abaixo você um e o mapa de homicídios no Mundo. Salvador é o dobro da média do Brasil (25/100000)

List of countries by homicide rate per year per 100,000 inhabitants for the years from 2000 onwards. The reliability of underlying national murder rate data may vary.^[1] The legal definition of "intentional homicide" differs among countries. Intentional homicide may or may not include assault leading to death, infanticide and assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Intentional homicide demographics are affected by changes in trauma care, leading to changed lethality of violent assaults, so the intentional homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level of societal violence.^[2] They may also be underreported for political reasons.^[3][4]

Another problem for the comparability of the following figures is that some data includes attempts and other doesn't. This values may differ highly in some countries. For example, in Germany about 3 of 4 homicides are attempts.

A recent study undertaken by the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development estimated that there were approximately 490,000 intentional homicides in 2004. The study estimated that the global rate was 7.6 intentional homicides per 100,000 populations for 2004, the last year for which comprehensive data is available.^[5]
