TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Why has suicide increased in young males? JO - Crisis A1 - Hawton, Keith E. SP - 119 EP - 124 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - Several countries in the Western hemisphere have experienced a marked increase in suicide rates in young males in recent years. This article considers this phenomenon largely from the perspective of the United Kingdom, where rates of suicide in 15-24-year-old males nearly doubled in just over a decade. The possible reasons for this are considered, particularly in the context of relative stability of suicide rates in young females.
