Abstract

By the analysis of adolescent suicides from the forensic aspects, the author tried to establish some characteristics of adolescent suicides according to the ways and means they use, in order to contribute to the prevention of this phenomenon. The analysis was based on committed adolescent suicides autopsied in the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Belgrade over the period from 1969-1978. The examination of the material consisted of anamnestic and autopsic methods. The obtained results were statistically elaborated. It was established that suicides of adolescents were committed by hanging, firearms, jump from the height, throwing under a train, drowning, etc. The fact that female adolescents commit suicides by the so-called active means (hanging, jump from the height, etc.) and rarely by poisoning, draws the attention to the specific character of this phenomenon in suicidology.
