Abstract

BACKGROUND

The paper analyzed the impact of war, the most pernicious of social evils, taking into consideration intensity of change in rate of suicide in the southwestern region of Croatia during the war and including three distinctly specific intervals, two peacetime-one pre-war (1986-1990) and one post-war (1996-2000) as well as the period of the war itself (1991-1995).

METHODS

From 853 cases of suicide committed during the period under review, age and gender of suicide victims, level of alcohol intoxication at suicide, means used in committing suicide, and suicide rate in years under review were analyzed. Quantitative characteristics of suicides were compared with other types of violent deaths, e.g., homicides and accidents. Frequencies of different features are shown graphically. Statistica 4.0 for Windows 98 was used in data processing.

RESULTS

Of a total of 2,925 violent deaths in the period under review (1986-2000), 29.16% or 853 suicides (29.1%) were recorded. A total of 513 suicides were committed in the peace-time period--262 prior to the war (1986-1990) and 251 after the war (1996-2000)--while 340 suicides were recorded during the war (1991-1995). Means of committing suicide also changed drastically during the war, when 64 cases of firearm use were recorded compared with 18 cases during the pre-war interval and 36 cases in the post-war interval.

CONCLUSIONS

Three parameters, namely, suicide rate, use of firearms, and intoxication, suffered the greatest changes in the war compared with the pre- and post-war period in the region under review.

摘要

背景

本文分析了战争这一最有害的社会罪恶的影响，考虑了克罗地亚西南部地区战争期间自杀率变化的强度，并纳入三个截然不同的特定时间段，两个和平时期——一个战前时期（1986 - 1990年）和一个战后时期（1996 - 2000年）以及战争本身的时期（1991 - 1995年）。

方法

对所审查期间发生的853例自杀案例，分析了自杀受害者的年龄和性别、自杀时的酒精中毒程度、自杀所用手段以及所审查年份的自杀率。将自杀的定量特征与其他类型的暴力死亡（如杀人及事故）进行比较。不同特征的频率以图表形式展示。使用适用于Windows 98的Statistica 4.0进行数据处理。

结果

在所审查期间（1986 - 2000年）的2925例暴力死亡中，记录了29.16%即853例自杀（29.1%）。和平时期共发生513例自杀——战前（1986 - 1990年）262例，战后（1996 - 2000年）251例——而战争期间（1991 - 1995年）记录了340例自杀。战争期间自杀手段也发生了巨大变化，战争期间记录了64例使用火器自杀的案例，而战前时期为18例，战后时期为36例。
