US Non-Firearm Murders by Source
The graph depicts competing data for non-firearm homicides from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Center for Disease Control, and the Bureau of Crime Statistics.
The CDC data point for 2001 includes the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The other two sources do not. The FBI data point for 2011 is preliminary, and is subject to small changes with the release of the FBI report for 2012 (to be released later in 2013).
The BJS data is compiled by the FBI, but uses a different definition for firearm-related "Homicide and nonnegligent manslaughter" than the one used by the FBI for their Expanded Homicide Report (which seemingly excludes nonnegligent manslaughter). The CDC figures appear to be more inclusive still.
