Violence disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries. Deeper understanding is needed in areas where little research has occurred. The objectives of the study were to: (a) ascertain rate of homicide death; (b) describe the victims and circumstances surrounding their deaths in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 2005. This study was developed by adapting the WHO/CDC Injury Surveillance Guidelines (Holder et al., 2001). Data on 12 variables were collected on all homicide deaths. Descriptive statistics and hypothesis tests were done when appropriate. Age standardised, age-specific and cause-specific mortality rates are presented. The overall homicide rate was 12.57 (males and females respectively: 22.26 and 2.64). Homicide deaths were 93.4% male, mostly unemployed, with a mean age of 28.2 years. Most deaths occurred in urban areas. Mob violence was the cause of 57% of deaths. The risk of homicide death for males was greater than the world average, but for females it was less. Most homicides were committed by community members policing against thieves.
暴力对低收入和中等收入国家的影响尤为严重。在研究较少的领域需要更深入的了解。本研究的目的是：(a)确定凶杀死亡率；(b)描述2005年坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆凶杀案受害者及其死亡情况。本研究是通过改编世界卫生组织/美国疾病控制与预防中心伤害监测指南（Holder等人，2001年）开展的。收集了所有凶杀死亡案例的12个变量的数据。在适当的时候进行了描述性统计和假设检验。列出了年龄标准化、特定年龄和特定原因的死亡率。总体凶杀率为12.57（男性和女性分别为：22.26和2.64）。凶杀死亡案例中93.4%为男性，大多数失业，平均年龄为28.2岁。大多数死亡发生在城市地区。群体暴力是57%死亡案例的死因。男性凶杀死亡风险高于世界平均水平，但女性则低于世界平均水平。大多数凶杀案是由社区成员对盗贼进行治安防范时实施的。
