Notes:	Outlines the methodology and findings of the National Homicide Monitoring Program’s (NHMP) annual homicide study. An initiative of the Australian Institute of Criminology, the programme has been running since 1989 and is aimed at monitoring the nature, circumstances and prevalence of homicide in Australia and providing a comprehensive longitudinal data source for the public, policy makers and interested organisations. The report presents a statistical overview of the patterns of homicide in each of the States and Territories, specifically in relation to incidence characteristics, such as location and seriousness of offence and victim/offender characteristics. The findings indicate that the prevalence of homicide in Australia has decreased in comparison with the year 2001-2002 and that the temporal characteristics of incidents have shifted, but it is noted that the statistics on homicide are prone to fluctuation and that the majority of offences still occur in residential premises. Gender differentials in victimisation and categories of persons at risk were found to be consistent, with the majority of female victims still being either married or in de facto relationships.
