The Home Office collects data on homicide and murder offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, including the sex of victim. However, data on the gender identity of victims of murder is not collected centrally. Police forces may hold these data at the local level.

Information on homicide Offences recorded by the police are published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and can be found here:
