| Summary |
The global rate of violent deaths is on the rise. This trend is driven in part by an increase in direct conflict deaths, particularly in Syria, but also in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the number of countries registering medium to high levels of violence has decreased, the average violent death rate in the highest category has increased, pointing to a growing proportion of violent deaths in a decreasing number of countries. Meanwhile, the global homicide rate continues its decline, particularly in Middle and Western Africa, Southern Asia, and the Caribbean. In contrast, Central America and Southern Africa show divergent patterns; the regions continue to exhibit the highest rates of violent deaths in non-conflict settings |
