The  United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)  has released its first Global Study on Homicide. The Study shows that young men, particularly in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and southern and central Africa, are at most risk from intentional homicide but that women are at highest risk from murder due to domestic violence. The Report can be found here in English;  Global Study on Homicide  or at the UNODC website.
