“…There were also marginal increases in the proportion of homicides that were precipitated by involvement in drug dealing, drug trade, or drug use. Other NVDRS research using toxicology reports suggests an increasing presence of opioids in homicide victims from 2003 to 2016 (Mowbray & Fatehi, 2021). These findings align with prior research indicating an association between the opioid epidemic and homicide rates in the United States (Rosenfeld, Roth, et al, 2023).…”

“…Among victims with toxicological testing, results showed a near doubling in the detection of marijuana from 2004 to 2016, whereas the presence of alcohol declined during that same period. Mowbray and Fatehi (2021) examined trends in opioid-related homicides using data from all 32 reporting states from 2003 to 2016. They found an increasing trend in the presence of opioids in homicide victims.…”

Homicide trend research has relied heavily on the same two data systems for decades. The current article highlights the research utility of a newer database—the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)—for examining the contours of homicide change. First, we describe the history, design, and availability of the NVDRS, and review past homicide and longitudinal studies using these data. Second, we discuss two features of the data system that researchers should consider when conducting homicide trend analyses: (a) data availability and representativeness and (b) data completeness. Third, we demonstrate a strong degree of correspondence between NVDRS homicide victimization trends and trends from other data systems. Fourth, we illustrate the ways in which the NVDRS can enrich our understanding of homicide trends by examining how homicide characteristics changed during the two recent homicide spikes from 2014 to 2016 and 2019 to 2020.
