In the 2020s, homicide rate in Czechia stands at 0.5 per 100,000 — ranking #5 of 157 countries. In 1900 it was 1.8 per 100,000. (Source: UNODC / World Bank, compiled by MYRIAD)
To examine the homicide rate in Czechia is to map the slow, steady cooling of human violence over two centuries. Every data point represents a life cut short, a void left in a family, and a shift in the collective security of a society. These numbers are not mere abstractions; they are the quiet, statistical markers of a changing domestic reality. When we move from the 1800s estimate 4.78 to modern figures, we are witnessing the outcome of centuries of shifting institutional, social, and legal stability.
The historical trajectory is one of persistent, long-term decline. Starting from the 1800s estimate 4.78, the rate descended through the 1850s estimate 3.29 and the 1900s estimate 1.8. By the 1950s, the rate reached 0.97, continuing its downward path through the 1990s 0.77. Projections suggest this trend will hold, reaching a 2100s projection 0.33, reflecting a society that has consistently lowered the frequency of its most violent impulses across these three centuries.
In the 2020s, homicide rate in Czechia stands at 0.5 per 100,000 — ranking #5 of 157 countries. If you were born in the 1800s estimate 4.78, the environment navigated was statistically different from this modern reality. While the individual experience remains unpredictable, the aggregate probability of becoming a victim has diminished by a factor of nearly ten, as the world moves toward a 2090s projection 0.35.
