MURDER

" Murder" is defined as the willful killing of another human being. This crime represents approximately 2 percent of all violent crimes. Most of the homicides occur in December. Males outnumber females as victims of murder by more than three to one. Firearms are the predominant weapon used in murder.

Murders tend to be committed by relatives or close associates of the victim. Killing within the family makes up approximately one-fourth of all murders.
