CIA World Factbook: Faroe Islands
Though it is referenced as a developed country by the CIA World Factbook, The Faroe Islands archipelago is not identified on the Amnesty International tables because it is governed by Denmark... which has abolished the death penalty.

CIA World Factbook: Bermuda
Bermuda is a UK territory, but, like The Faroe Islands, is still listed in the CIA World Factbook as a developed country. The United Kingdom has abolished the death penalty... Bermuda's internal self-government agreed in 1999.

Wikipedia: Map and Table
This is a secondary source, but still a useful and interesting tool.

NationMaster.com: Murders Per Capita
Though this, too, is a secondary source, it pulls its information from such sources as the CIA World Factbook and the United Nations. This particular graph sources the Seventh United Nations Survey of Crime Trends and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems, covering the period 1998 - 2000 (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Centre for International Crime Prevention)
