Abstract

The state suicide rates of American Indians in 1980 showed a very different pattern of associations with state social variables than did the state suicide rates of Whites. In contrast, the homicide rates had similar associations, in particular with an index of social instability. The implications of these findings for theory are examined, and suggestions made for further research.
