Abstract

The homicide rate in Ireland is the lowest in Europe in the 1990's and has declined sharply during the 158 year period from 1837–1994. The rate has also remained stable in the 1980's and 1990's. These trends are contrary to the view held by the Irish public and the Irish and International media and raise questions about the reputation of the ‘'wild Irish'’ who emigrated to the U.S. and other countries in the 19th century.
