This study examines punishments for homicide in Europe by compiling national-level data and presenting a descriptive account of variation. We present original data collected from various European data sources and individual researchers and highlight the problems associated with cross-national data on homicide and the limitations this poses for research. Based on available data, we offer some preliminary observations regarding regional trends in homicide and incarceration rates for homicide. Finally, we provide some suggestions for how these problems might be overcome moving forward.
