TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Murders and suicide: Are they polar opposites JO - Behavioral sciences and the law A1 - Lester, David SP - 49 EP - 60 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - This article explores the relationship between suicidal and murderous desires. Freud's psychological theory and Henry and Short's sociological theory are reviewed, and empirical studies that bear on the issue are examined. There is not sufficient information as yet to confirm or disconfirm that murder and suicide are polar opposites, but suggestions are made for future research needed to answer this question.
