That’s per annum. The rate decreases by age, but over a lifetime the cumulative odds start to add up to a more significant number.
Also, by killing men in their twenties it affects the average more than something like heart disease that usually kills men over 50.
- dmoy 3y ago> it affects the average more than something like heart disease that usually kills men over 50. If you look at the linked Twitter thing in the other comment chain here, you will note that this is not true. The numbers are just very different - heart disease (~600k) is like 40x more than all homicide (~15k, varies by year). Even if heart disease only kills people the year or two before they would otherwise die in their 70s (which is not true, it kills a lot of 50-yr-olds too), it would affect the average less than homicide.
