Yang, Bijou; Lester, David
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v18 n3 p270-78 Fall 1988
Explored relationship between participation of married women in labor force and suicide and homicide rates in United States. Found women's labor force participation related to homicide rates, with homicide rates higher in states where greater percentage of married women worked full-time. Suicide rates were more strongly related to indices of social integration (interstate migration, divorce rates). (Author/NB)
