520			_a Between 2007 – 2019 there were 939 people killed by homicide (ie murder and manslaughter offences). Māori account for approximately a third of homicide victims. Males represented 65 percent of all victims. The lowest annual homicide figure of 46 was in 2017. Around 7 out of 10 homicides were murders. Of all family-linked homicide victims, 43% were male and 57% were female. Around 16% of homicides was committed by a current or ex-partner – 74% of victims were female. Children under the age of five made up 11 percent of homicide victims. The report Historic NZ Murder Rate Report 1926-2020 is also available. The table shows murder offences collated from existing electronic and microfiche data from previous Police annual reports and crime statistics and the current statistics on Homicide Victims. (From the report). Background: Each month New Zealand Police releases Official Statistics on crime victimisation and offending at www.policedata.nz. Homicide statistics are not included in the monthly release of statistics on victims because homicide investigations typically take many months to investigate and finalise. Accordingly, data in Police systems on homicides does not stabilise for many months. So, rather than include homicide statistics in the regular monthly releases, homicide data are collated into this Homicide Victims Report. Usually this report is published mid-year. This report is not intended as a comprehensive study on the various contexts in which homicides occur. Rather, it provides some descriptive statistics that complement other sources of information such as:  Recorded Crime Victims Statistics,  Recorded Crime Offenders Statistics,  The New Zealand Crime and Safety Survey, and  Relevant research publications and government reports. Specifically, this report presents simple descriptive statistics about:  Who has been killed,  The relationship between the victim and offender,  What type of location people were killed in, and  What type of weapon (if any) was used.
