TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Regional variation in suicide and homicide JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Lester, David SP - 110 EP - 116 VL - 15 IS - 2 N2 - Violence in American cities was examined by classifying each city as high versus low in its homicide rate and high versus low in its suicide rate. Four groups of cities were identified on the basis of this classification, and their characteristics were explored. Differences were found in crime rates, poverty, population density, racial composition, latitude, and longitude. The implications of the results were examined.
