Southern Subculture, Personal Violence (Suicide and Homicide), and Firearms.

Lester, David

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v17 n2 p183-86 1986-87

Study of the continental United States showed that an index of "southernness" was associated with the homicide rate but not with the suicide rate. However, the rate of suicide by firearms and the rate of lethal accidents with firearms were both associated with this index of southernness. (Author/KS)
