Several honor killings have been documented in the United States in recent years. As of 2012, there is no central agency that collects data across all jurisdictions in regards to honor violence in the United States. There is reluctance among some organizations to label events as honor killings to avoid stigmatizing Muslim and Arab cultures.

  • Several honor killings have been documented in the United States in recent years. As of 2012, there is no central agency that collects data across all jurisdictions in regards to honor violence in the United States. There is reluctance among some organizations to label events as honor killings to avoid stigmatizing Muslim and Arab cultures. Around 2017, City University of New York John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor Ric Curtis led a team that analyzed honor killing statistics from Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom and made a proxy estimate for the United States based on that, resulting in an estimated 23–27 annual honor killings in the U.S. In 2017 Jesse Singal of New York Magazine wrote "there’s effectively no evidence that honor killings are common at all, according to one of the only (if not the only) studies attempting to estimate how prevalent that crime is." Executive Order 13769 "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States" stated that the U.S. federal government would collect information on honor killings committed by foreigners resident in the U.S.; Singal stated that the lack of prevalence of honor crimes in the U.S. "makes the language of Trump’s EO odd". In 2012, Zuhdi Jasser of the think tank American Islamic Forum for Democracy argued that honor killings were a phenomenon in the U.S. that needs to be investigated. In 2015, senior fellow of , Farhana Qazi, stated that the actual number of honor killings was higher than the reported statistics due to a reluctance to embarrass relatives of the deceased. In 2014, the research corporation Westat released a study on honor killings and violence entitled "Honor Violence Measurement Methods." The study was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice, and it identified four types of honor violence: honor killings, honor-based domestic violence, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation. The report estimated that 23-27 honor killings took place in the United States each year. (en)
