Recorded data on crime rates
score:3
Accepted answer
Here is a figure of homicide rates from Stephen Pinker's Better Angels of our Nature:
I wouldn't worry about medical science interfering with these trends much, as doctors were as likely to hurt patients as help them until the 19th century.
Really high quality crime stats only started to be collected in the 19th century, so Pinker's measures here are about as good as we can do AFAIK.
