Crime

Homicides peaked between 1992 and 1998, a period during which they averaged about 2,500 per year, compared with fewer than 1,400 homicides in 2010 (see Figure 2)…

Figure 2. Intentional homicides in Kazakhstan, 1989–2010: Number of intentional homicides

[D]espite the important decrease since 1991, Kazakhstan's homicide rate still stood at 8.35 per 100,000 people in 2010—higher than the estimated world rate of 6 per 100,000 and Central Asia's rate of 6.5 per 100, 000(6).

Reported homicide rates for other countries in the region are clearly lower: 7.8 per 100,000 in Kyrgyzstan (2009), 1.9 in Tajikistan (2009), 3.8 in Turkmenistan (2006), and 3.0 in Uzbekistan (2007) (UNICEF, 2011)…
