Interesting. I am guessing that if we looked at homicide per population, it would match up pretty well with your chart.

If I was you, I'd stay out of Hong Kong, Korea and Japan...

What’s the explanation? Turf wars and territorial violence decreases with affluence and what you’re left with is domestic violence?

Wild ass guess.

Latin culture and machismo? Would be considered beneath a man to kill a woman.

That's another SWAG.

My guess: Violent predators (almost always male) killing people is far less in those countries so the murder rate is much lower and consists of highly personal things like killing your sibling or spouse for money, etc, and that’s more egalitarian.

Japan rate per 100K woman = 0.3
Hong Kong = 0.2

Honduras = 6.6
US = 2.6
