TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Are murders and suicides committed by different methods intrinsically different? JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Lester, David SP - 28 EP - 30 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - A time-series study of homicide and suicide rates by each method in England and Wales from 1950 to 1985 showed that the sociological correlates of these rates depended upon the method used for killing. This raises the possibility that murder and suicide may not be unitary phenomena, but rather that murder and suicide by particular methods are distinct deviant acts and should be studied separately.
