Data were processed and interpreted based on epidemiological, statistic and mathematical computer-based methods. RESULTS: In 1998, in the Neamt county, 0.69 per thousand homicides were recorded as compared to 2.56 at country level. In 2000, the rate of homicides by DV had significantly increased, reaching 12.3 per thousand, compared to 4.5 per thousand at the national level. The prevalence of homicides by DV, according to environment, gender, age groups and other features is presented.
