Abstract
This article focuses on homicide and violence victimisation rates for Scotland and for England and Wales. It highlights the high homicide but low violence victimisation rates for Scotland compared with the low homicide but high violence victimisation rates for England and Wales. The homicide:violence ratio varies both by gender and offender-victim relationship (family, acquaintance or stranger), with different patterns emerging in the two jurisdictions. These differences might be explained by the method of killing, the speed of police reaction and the speed of delivery to accident and emergency services; the first of these is explored in more detail. Levels of violence are linked but in complex ways.
