| Summary: | This study is an epidemiological, cross-sectional replication and extension (over 5 points in time) that addresses rates of homicide and suicide with demographic shifts of regional and national trends of the United States. Decennially, data were compiled from 1960 to 2000 by state and by 10-year age cohorts for ages 15- to 75+-year-olds. The extension includes collapsing these data into four U. S. regions. Significance for only suicide further confirms corroboration of the cohort size hypothesis for youthful cohorts. This indicated higher rates of suicide among youthful cohorts are associated with higher proportions of young people. Rates of homicide were not associated with shifts in proportion of youthful cohorts and failed to support the cohort size hypothesis. | |
