Does anyone have any insights from statistics on how to

I guess it all depends on what you include in the category of violent death.
This study is the only one I'm aware of to attempt to address this:

Though I agree that the violent death rate in US cities is sad, I
would also guess that the estimates are relatively accurate. I would
also say that the experimental design assumed in the article is
potentially badly flawed, with tremendous underreporting in Iraq and
meticulous reporting
It seems that as time goes by, people including statisticians, forget

Richardson's The Statistics of Deadly Quarrels. Volume 2 of The World
