Suicide |
---|
A suicide epidemic is a large number of suicides taking place over a period of time in a manner that resembles a disease epidemic. Such epidemics have occurred in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s,[1] among police officers,[2] on Indian reservations,[3] and in Micronesia.[4] The Werther effect occurs when suicides that are made publicly known encourage others to imitate them.[5] It has been suggested that the teaching of stories such as Romeo and Juliet may encourage suicide among young people.[6]
