Abstract

In Japan, economic factors were associated with the regional variations in suicide rates, unlike the United States where domestic factors (divorces and births) were associated with the regional variations in suicide rates. Homicide rates also had different social correlates in the two nations, indicating the importance of cross-cultural studies for the identification of reliable phenomena.
