The study aimed to determine the factors or reasons why homicide appears to be more
prevalent in some countries than others. A powerful platform for such an analysis is afforded
by fractal statistical analysis. This study analyzed global homicide incidence and sought
to find out hidden dimensions associated with the fractal distribution of homicide among
countries worldwide. Results have shown that homicide is fractal. Furthermore, homicide
dimensions vary from one country to another. The observed variability of dimensions
among homicide-prone countries can be explained largely by variability in social and political
frameworks. There are differences in the level of relations among the primary actors composing
the system of violence and the state’s crime control capacity. Essentially, local violence can
be traced back to weak criminal justice system, considerate community policies, pro-crime
culture and drug market availability. However, this dilemma can be deterred. Strengthening
justice system pillars greatly helps in combating against homicide.
