Abstract

Analyzing data from the Institute of Forensic Medicine (IFM) in Rijeka, a total of 853 suicides were recorded in a 15 years period (1986-2000). Quantitative and qualitative features of suicides were analyzed in three intervals: pre-wartime, wartime and post-wartime. In the wartime period (1991-1995), the suicide rate increased by 20.9% in comparison with the pre-war period. In the post-wartime period, the suicide rate dropped by 26.2% in comparison with the war period. The results show a significant increase in suicide rates in the wartime. During the wartime period, a large number of suicide victims under the age of forty increased-45.3% in comparison with the pre-war period and 56.6% in comparison with the post-war period. The use of firearms as a means of committing suicide quadrupled during the war in comparison with the pre-war period. The level of alcohol intoxication of perpetrators at the moment of suicide significantly increased in the wartime period. War had a direct impact on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of suicides in Croatia.

摘要

通过分析里耶卡法医学研究所（IFM）的数据，在15年期间（1986 - 2000年）共记录了853起自杀事件。对自杀事件的定量和定性特征按三个时间段进行了分析：战前、战时和战后。在战时（1991 - 1995年），自杀率与战前时期相比上升了20.9%。在战后时期，自杀率与战争时期相比下降了26.2%。结果显示战时自杀率显著上升。在战时，40岁以下自杀受害者的数量大幅增加——与战前时期相比增加了45.3%，与战后时期相比增加了56.6%。与战前时期相比，战争期间使用枪支作为自杀手段的情况增加了四倍。战时自杀者自杀时的酒精中毒程度显著上升。战争对克罗地亚自杀事件的定量和定性特征产生了直接影响。
