Homicide in the US The US Statistical Abstract reports 25,488 homicides in the US in 1992, of which 20,115 were men and 5,333 were women. The homicide rate for men is thus almost four times higher than that for women. This is one of the world's highest homicide rates--9.8 per 100,000 population, nine times higher than it was in the US at the turn of the 20th Century. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that 63% or 16,057 of these homicides were "cleared" [read: resolved], leaving 9,432 homicides unresolved. The proportion of unresolved homicides (3.6 per 100k population) in the US now exceeds the total proportion of resolved homicides in most countries.
Table No. 145 of the 1999 US Statistical Abstract shows that the number of murders declined to 15,826 by 1996, to 12,195 men and 3,631 women, making men 3.4 times more likely to be murdered than women. Rather than address this higher murder rate of men, the biased statisticians at the Bureau of Justice Statistics almost completely ignore this in their press releases, and instead promote the following misleading "Intimate Homicide Victims": Bureau of Justice Statistics

Source: FBI, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-98. See the methodology section in Additional Information About the Data for weighting and imputation procedures used. Such selective use of data ignores 88% of the data, ignores that men are 3.4 times more likely to be murdered than women, ignores the key difference between boyfriends and husbands, AND ignores that mothers kill 6 times as many children as husbands kill wives:
It also ignores that, compared to wives who are murdered by husbands:

In 1991, black men were murdered at a rate 24 TIMES that of "white" women [with "white" including Hispanic women who are murdered at a much higher rate than White women].
