Abstract

The authors presents an analysis of homicides based on autopsy material collected at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bydgoszcz in the years 1992-2002 and the comparison of the thus obtained results with the results for the years 1986-1991. In approximately 3500 analyzed postmortem examinations, this type of death accounted for 5.6% of cases. The majority of victims were men, mostly 31-50 years of age, accounting for 69% of cases. In the compared periods, the authors noted an approximately 20% increase in this type of crimes, especially apparent in rural areas. The number of homicides with firearms and serial killings was also increased. The most common injuries were stab wounds. The number of drunken perpetrators was also increased.
