The formula to calculate the Homicide Rate (HR) is:
\[ \text{HR} = \frac{\text{H}}{\text{P}} \times 100000 \]
Where:
The homicide rate is a measure of the number of homicides in a given population, typically expressed as the number of homicides per 100,000 people. It is a key metric used in criminology and public safety to assess the level of violent crime in an area. A higher homicide rate indicates a higher level of violent crime, while a lower rate suggests a safer community.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{HR} = \frac{50}{1000000} \times 100000 = 5.00 \]
The Homicide Rate (HR) is 5.00 homicides per 100,000 people.
