Metadata
| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | This indicator is widely used at national and international level to measure the most extreme form of violent crime and it also provides a direct indication of lack of security. Security from violence is a pre-requisite for individuals to enjoy a safe and active life and for societies and economies to develop freely. Intentional homicides occur in all countries of the world and this indicator has a global applicability. Monitoring intentional homicides is necessary to better assess their causes, drivers and consequences and, in the longer term, to develop effective preventive measures. If data are properly disaggregated (as suggested in the ICCS), the indicator can identify the different type of violence associated with homicide: inter-personal (including partner and family-related violence), crime (including organized crime and other forms of criminal activities) and socio-political (including terrorism, hate crime). |

| Comment | In the case of the total number of persons who were killed in an intentional assault disaggregated by gender, unidentified persons (unknown gender and age) are also included. Unidentified persons are not included in the total number of persons who were killed in an intentional assault disaggregated by age. Values before 2019 are not given due to a methodological change this year. The number of objects of attack - persons (exceptionally also victims) of crimes of (completed) murder (murder is always only intentional), where the consequence is the death of a person, is given. These are acts committed on the territory of the Czech Republic, which were initiated in accordance with § 158/3 tr. of the Code in the year in question (it is not the date of commission or the date of the person's death). TSC 101-106, 115 The number of victims of intentional homicide is related to the population (of a given sex and age) as at 1 July of the reference year. |
