** [Editors Note: In the AIC source document, no explanation is given for the sudden drop in the 2007/08 figure when compared to Victorian Police data (down from 166 and a rate per 100,000 population of 3.2 in 2007, to 44 and 0.8 per 100,000 homicides in 2007/08), followed by a sudden spike back to 182 (3.4) homicides attributed to this cause in 2008. As the most likely cause is procedural, we suggest checking these figures with the source]
