Background: Murder is one of the most serious societal problems. Risk factors for murder and indices of societal phenomena that are likely to increase the incidence of murder should be ascertained, and preventive measures based on definitive evidence require discussion for implementation. Objective: We speculated that unemployment may be strongly related to emotions that stimulate people to commit murder. Materials and Methods: Herein, we researched the relationship between murders and unemployment in the Republic of Kazakhstan, which became an independent country in December 1991 and has rapidly modernized since then. This relationship has rarely been discussed in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We examined the annual murder rate (per 100,000 population) and the annual unemployment rate (%) published by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the Republic of Kazakhstan that occurred over the 29-year period from 1992 to 2020. The relationship between the murder rate and the unemployment rate was analyzed statistically. Results: The annual murder rate in the Republic of Kazakhstan was significantly related to the country's annual unemployment rate (according to the ILO and IMF). An increase in the unemployment rate is likely to be related to an increase in murders. Conclusions: Personnel and organizations in areas dealing with unemployment and with murders should work together to prevent each to the greatest extent possible. Changes in a country's unemployment rate should also be continuously monitored by the identification of both momentary and continued increases in that rate, in part toward the prevention of murders.
