Probably from the DOJ. Headed by "Kill me, Kill me, Kill me any, any, any time", Eric Holder.

I've seen this chart on the web before, but never with a proper or verifiable citation. It might be from created from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting data - try this link, which will allow you to search back to 1960:

Thanks for reading!

I'd like to see the US population plotted versus time on the same graph - and a "murders per captita plot also.

Steamy, those numbers on the chart are per 100K population. The rate for 2011 was 4.6/100K.
