“…Moreover, Sveticic et al (2012) supported the findings by Gibb & Woolnough (2007) to suggest missing persons at risk of suicide sometimes leave a suicide note. This is also paralleled in other general suicide research, which identified a note to be left in 33 per cent of suicides (Carretta et al, 2015). Further to this, Foy (2016) claimed that a person going missing for the intention of suicide would be expected to display behaviour explicitly or implicitly giving an indication of this decision.…”

“…Suicide ideation itself encompasses thoughts to take one's life, with active suicide ideation including plans or a method of how suicide might be accomplished (Turecki & Brent, 2016). Various projects have studied the associated risk factors and reported that, suicidal thinking, mental health illness (Borges et al, 2010;Bebbington et al, 2010), previous suicide attempts (Borges et al, 2010;Hawton et al, 2015;Bergen et al, 2012;Carroll et al, 2016;Runeson, Tidemalm, Dahlin, Lichtenstein, & Langstrom, 2010), episodes of self-cutting (Bergen et al, 2012), depression (Hawton, Casanas i Comabella, Haw & Saunders, 2013;Harwood, Hawton, Hope & Jacoby, 2001) particularly in correlation with old age (ONS, 2017), misuse of alcohol and drugs (Hawton et al, 2013;Carretta Burgess & Welner, 2015;Darke, Torok, Crim, Kaye & Ross, 2010), and adverse life events (Bagge, Glenn, & Lee, 2013;Cooper, Appleby, & Amos, 2002;Cavanagh, Owens, & Johnstone, 1999) such as being investigated for a child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) offence (Hoffer, Shelton, Behnke, & Erdberg, 2010), increase the risks of suicide attempts and success. Specifically for the latter, the risk of suicide to individuals released from police custody, in particular those suspected of being involved in CSAE offences, is highlighted within Authorised Professional Practice (APP) 2 (College of Policing, 2018).…”

Purpose: This research examined the relationship between adult missing persons and suicide, considering a number of possible vulnerability indicators/characteristics of this group of missing persons. Implications for missing person investigations were also explored, particularly for the risk assessment process. Methodology: Data was extracted for ninety-three (N = 93) missing persons cases from one English police force, over a four-year period. These individuals were found dead suspected of suicide. Findings: The findings illustrate a number of vulnerability indicators/characteristics of missing persons who complete suicide. In relation to the initial risk assessment level applied to the missing person report, two vulnerability indicators; a risk of suicide and the presence of a suicide note had an effect on predicting a higher risk assessment level. Limitations: Future research, in order to overcome the present study's limitations, should attempt to collect data from more than one police force in order to increase the sample size. In addition to this, it would be beneficial to use a sample of missing persons who are found safe and well as a Suicide and Associated Vulnerability Indicators in Adult Missing Persons 2 comparative sample to have a better chance in understanding the examined relationship and whether the vulnerability indicators/characteristics are indicative of suicide risk. Practical implications: The findings of this study have practical implications for the risk assessment process and are a step forward in providing empirical evidence applicable to identifying missing persons most at risk of suicide. Social implications: This research has helped to build upon and corroborate existing knowledge of missing persons who complete suicide. Originality: This study provides new empirical evidence on suicide in adult missing persons. The findings demonstrate the subjective and variable nature of the risk assessment process and highlight potential implications on missing person investigations.

“…No sabemos si el conflicto armado puede ser un motivo para que las cifras de suicidio en este punto geográfico del país hayan aumentado significativamente, valdría la pena investigarlo. Lo que sí es seguro es que en estudios anteriores realizados en el departamento, se ha encontrado que las víctimas del conflicto han visto afectada su salud mental (Ramírez-Giraldo, et al, 2017;Santis, Romero-Acosta, Sahagún-Navarro, & Sánchez-Vergara, 2017;Sahagún et al, 2017) y la literatura apunta a que algunos trastornos mentales se asocian directamente con el comportamiento suicida (Carretta, Burguess, & Welner, 2015;Trout, Hernández, & Liu, 2017;Spino, Kameg, Cline, Terhorst, & Mitchell, 2016).…”

Objetivo. Analizar las noticias publicadas sobre suicidio consumado en el Periódico El Meridiano de Sucre del 2010 al 2016. Método. 1) la búsqueda se acotó a un tiempo específico (2010 – 2016); 2) se clasificó la información proporcionada por los artículos de periódico teniendo en cuenta: la fecha del acontecimiento, el lugar, la edad, el sexo, la modalidad y el motivo; 3) se introdujo toda la información al paquete estadístico Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS v.21) para su análisis. Resultados. Se halló un aumento de las cifras del suicidio en los años 2015 y 2016. Entre los motivos más frecuentes para cometer el acto suicida se encuentran: depresión, problemas familiares, problemas de salud y problemas económicos. Conclusiones. Tanto en Sincelejo como en la zona rural sucreña, la modalidad de acto suicida más frecuente en hombres y mujeres es el ahorcamiento, y el motivo más frecuente: “la depresión”.

“…Au final, l'échantillon d'analyse comprenait treize études : huit séries de cas (Cantor et McTaggart, 1998 ;Carretta, Burgess et Welner, 2015 ;Flynn, Gask, Appleby et Shaw, 2016 ;Liem et al, 2011 ;Liem, Hengeveld et Koenraadt, 2009 ;Malphurs et al 2001 ;McPhedran et al, 2015 ;Saleva, Putkonen, Kiviruusu et Lönnqvist, 2007), trois études castémoins (Haines, Williams et Lester, 2010 ;Kalesan, Mobily, Vasan, Siegel et Galea, 2016 ;Malphurs et Cohen, 2005) et deux études de cohortes historiques (Liem, 2010 ;Logan et al, 2008). Les caractéristiques de ces études sont présentées au Tableau 2.…”

Les homicides-suicides sont des événements aussi graves qu’exceptionnels. À l’interface de la criminologie et de la suicidologie, leur étude et leur prévention butent sur une indistinction de statut : sont-ils à considérer comme une sous-catégorie du suicide ou comme une entité à part entière ? Pour le clarifier, nous avons mené une méta-analyse de l’ensemble des articles comparant les facteurs de risque de suicide et d’homicide-suicide afin de discerner si certains d’entre eux étaient plus spécifiques de l’un ou de l’autre des événements. Treize articles ont été inclus dans l’analyse finale. Le sexe masculin, l’appartenance à une minorité culturelle et les antécédents judiciaires étaient plus spécifiquement associés à l’homicide-suicide qu’au suicide. De même, le suicide survenait plus fréquemment à domicile et impliquait des moyens plus violents lorsqu’il était précédé d’un homicide. En revanche, les problèmes de santé physique, les antécédents de dépression, de tentative de suicide et de consommation de substances psychoactives augmentaient le risque de suicide davantage que celui d’homicide-suicide. À l’appui des présents résultats, nous proposons de revisiter la dualité homicide-suicide/suicide en l’inscrivant dans un modèle intégré. Sous cette perspective, les deux événements pourraient être lus comme l’issue dramatique d’une même tension psychique critique que favoriseraient des facteurs prédisposant aspécifiques. La forme du passage à l’acte ne dépendrait alors de l’influence que de certains de ces facteurs, dits facteurs orientants. Les implications que cette modélisation pourrait avoir en termes de recherche sont ici discutées.
