Yearly data from 1990 to 2023, from the World Bank.
Morocco's intentional homicides (per 100,000 people) was 1.71 in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 34.28% from 1.27 in 2013 (2.99% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 1.71 | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | 1.42 | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | 1.27 | 2013 |
| Highest | 2.93 | 2020 |
| Lowest | 0.37 | 1990 |
| Average since 2014 | 1.86 | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | 0.37 | 1990 |
Over five years it is up 19.82% from 1.42 in 2018 (3.68% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is up 366.97% from 0.37 in 1990 (4.78% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 2 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2023, Morocco's intentional homicides (per 100,000 people) rose 0.05 on 2022 (from 1.66 to 1.71).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2022), the average change was −0.02 and a typical year strayed about 0.42 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.35 in 2019 and the biggest yearly fall was 1 in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 17% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2023, Morocco had the 41st highest value of the 81 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

An intentional homicide is defined as an unlawful death inflicted upon a person with the intent to cause death or serious injury.
Limitations: Statistics reported to the United Nations in the context of its various surveys on crime levels and criminal justice trends are incidents of victimization that have been reported to the authorities in any given country. That means that this data is subject to the problems of accuracy of all official crime data. The survey results provide an overview of trends and interrelationships between various parts of the criminal justice system to promote informed decision-making in administration, nationally and internationally. The degree to which different societies apportion the level of culpability to acts resulting in death is also subject to variation.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a aggregate values are computed by unodc. for additional information, please see the unodc website: https://dataunodc.un.org/sites/dataunodc.un.org/files/metadata_intentional_homicide.pdf.
