In 2015, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) recorded that the two provinces with the highest number of violent crimes resulting in death or murder were in Sumatra: South Sumatra (161 cases) and North Sumatra (118 cases). North Sulawesi followed in third place with 104 murder cases. These figures represent cases officially recorded by the police. The actual number in the field could be significantly higher.

Over the past five years, 2015 recorded the highest number of murders in Indonesia, with 1,491 cases. This figure does not equate to the number of victims, as a single case may involve more than one victim. Although the number of murders decreased between 2010 and 2014, there was a sharp increase in 2015. The reasons or motives behind murders can vary widely and are sometimes difficult to prove. Economic needs and personal vendettas are often cited as motives in murder cases.
