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. Although the findings indicate that homicide remains a relatively rare occurrence across Australia, it is noted that the incidence of violent crime and serious assault has increased in recent years and the data suggest a greater percentage of married/de facto, separated or divorced women are victims of homicide than men in the same categories.
