As related articles at wikipedia, you can find List of countries by intentional homicide rate and List of countries by suicide rate, as Intentional deaths include: Homicide (intentional injury death of another) and Suicide (intentional injury death of self). The List of countries by intentional death rate have some several interests, first of all being that the sum of these two indicators might be a good psychological health indicator of happiness of population. In addition, many homicides are classified as suicides more frecuently in some countries than in some others, which can produce an information bias (epidemiology): the sum (intentional rate) possibly has more objectivity (science).

Suicide and homicide are manner or mode of death. They must be distinguished from causes of death or actual mechanisms that produces the death, as these terms are often confused. For instance, if homicide is the mode of death, then possible causes of death under homicide may be head trauma, gunshot wound, suffocation, poisoning, etc.
