I am writing a Compare/Contrast paper. I am having no difficulty with writing my paper, (great talent ) but I need some reasonalble statistics for percentage of people who die each year through suicide and homicide. I cant seem to find these on the net.

Can anyone help? I really want to do good on this composition... its writing (my life)

here is a web site - Bureau of Justice Statistics (Homicide) - this will also give you a description of how they derived the stats...
www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/tables/regiontab.htm

This will break it down by sex, weapons, states, etc....
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide

You might want to (if you can) narrow the topic so that you can concentrate on one area and give better examples.

As far as suicide...
www.suicideology.org
enter this site and you will have an option to the right for the latest suicide statistics.

I hope this info helps.

If not - search on "Suicide Statistics" and "Homicide Statistics" separately - brought up lots of sites for me.
