Abstract

We reviewed medical examiner, law enforcement, crime laboratory data, and death certificates on all 1,530 violent deaths (homicide, suicide, undetermined firearm) in Connecticut occurring from 2001-2004. There was an average of 383 deaths (rate = 11.2 deaths per 100,000 persons annually). Overall, males aged 20 to 29 were at the greatest risk of violent death (rate = 30.5/100,000). Of all violent deaths 72% were suicides and 28% were homicides. Firearms were used in 33% of suicides and 58% of homicides. The rate of violent death is lower than most other states in the country. In Connecticut suicide is the leading cause of violent death overall; however, in areas characterized by the highest levels of poverty and lowest levels of education, homicide is the leading cause of violent death.

摘要

我们查阅了2001年至2004年期间康涅狄格州所有1530起暴力死亡事件（凶杀、自杀、死因不明的枪击事件）的法医、执法部门、犯罪实验室数据以及死亡证明。平均每年有383人死亡（比率为每10万人中有11.2人死亡）。总体而言，年龄在20至29岁之间的男性面临暴力死亡的风险最高（比率为30.5/10万）。在所有暴力死亡事件中，72%为自杀，28%为凶杀。33%的自杀事件和58%的凶杀事件使用了枪支。该州的暴力死亡率低于美国其他大多数州。在康涅狄格州，自杀是总体暴力死亡的主要原因；然而，在贫困程度最高和教育水平最低的地区，凶杀是暴力死亡的主要原因。
