Based on lets say 1000 per year, over 35 years(half average life expectancy) we're looking at 35000 murders against a pop of 70M. Maybe 1 in 2000 people is a murder. Or 10 people in a nice small town.

OK, for a start there is no such thing as average life expectancy. Life expectancy is itself an average.

Secondly, Life expectancy at birth in the UK is currently 79.0 years, and has not been as low as 70 since, well, since Marillion were young.

Thirdly, the population of the UK is about 61M (est 2009), noz 70M.

And finally, if the population at any one time were say 70M, the population over say 35 years would be a lot larger.

Apart from that your figures are thought-provoking.

They could still have been living apart i.e. not sleeping together. If the husband wan't supporting her and she didn't have a job, how is she supposed to live?

I wonder if this has any bearing on that map

I'll let you know. The second site reference numbers are wrong. It links to a spreadsheet but they're not correct.

Loads of interesting inputs, but population is the main one

Because it's more important to be able to look up tax dodgers than individuals who pose a serious risk to society.

I was reading an article earlier this week about benefit scroungers. Said doley had embezzled £150,000 in benefits over a number of years and was driving around in a 30k BMW.

Why the **** is there not a simple process for checking DVLA records against people on benefits? Another was her she claimed her husband lived apart, but they lived in the same house. He worked and paid tax. How the **** is this not cross referenced? I find the lack of 'data nouse' using available data sources laughable!

Looks like 2002 was the high point for homicide in the years 1898 - 2005.

I have no idea how you find this stuff, but the MurderMap is exactly what I was talking about.
