abstract="A survey conducted through Interpol on suicide in police officers enabled police officer suicide rates to be calculated for 26 countries for the period 19801989. Overall, the suicide rate for police officers did not appear to be consistently higher (or lower) than the suicide rate for men in general in the countries reporting data. However, fewer countries monitored suicide in their police officers than monitored the death of police officers from homicide. It has been noted that police officers in some natiop. s of the world have a high suicide rate. For example, police officers in the USA rank second in suicide rates of 36 occupations (Labovitz and Hagedorn, 1971). Suicide rates of police officers in Northern Ireland have also been very high in recent years (Curran, et al., 1988). In contrast, other nations, such as Canada (Loo, 1986), have reported low suicide rates in police officers.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
