Hello Grthumongous,

I located the homicide rates (per 100,000) for Costa Rica for the
years 1990 to 2002 inclusive. This data comes from an authoritative
publication dated July 2003. Unfortunately, I have not been able to
locate annual homicide totals.

Would the homicide rates be of your interest?

Thanks,

Bobbie7
