Data on homicide incidents address jurisdiction, geographic area, location, time of day/day of week, drug involvement, precipitating factors, and weapon/method. Data on both the victims and offenders encompass sex and age, marital status, employment, country of birth, racial appearance, alcohol/drug use, and criminal history. Data on offender suicide following murder are also provided. Figures on the relationship between victims and offenders are presented under the rubrics of girlfriend/boyfriend, strangers, other family, parent-child, spouse, friends/acquaintances, other known, and unknown. The homicide rate increased slightly from 1.9 per 100,000 population in 1989-90 to 2.1 in 1990-91, an increase from 330 victims in 1989-90 to 351 in 1990-91. The proportion of male victims to female victims was approximately 3 to 2. The proportion of male offenders to female offenders was 9 to 1. Aboriginal people were vastly overrepresented among both homicide victims and offenders. Homicide remained overwhelmingly intraracial, and no incidents appeared to be racially motivated. Firearms were used in just under one- quarter of incidents; knives and assaults were the most common methods. Approximately 40 percent of homicides where the victim-offender relationship was recorded were between intimates, both spousal and other family members; approximately two-thirds of these domestic homicides were between spouses. The incidence of stranger homicide remained low, and there was no indication of serial offending. 12 tables and 7 figures
