That gives us 5,300,942, changing our murder rate to... 1.30 per 100,000.(Apparently, I previously misread and miscalculated on the basis of 67, rather than 69, murders. The population difference between 5.25 and 5.3 doesn't change results.)

The more I look at the Wiki data, the more I think it is projected from prior years. The note on the NL source says, "Nieuwbeerta, Paul; Gerlof Leistra. "Moord en doodslag in Nederland, 1992–2001" (in Dutch) (PDF). Centraal bureau voor de statistiek. p. 26. http://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/menu/themas/mens...922001.htm. Retrieved 2006-12-08."

So, how do we trust the unusually low numbers reported past 2006.
