An analysis of suicide by cop (SBC) among female subjects in a large sample (n = 707) of officer-involved shootings (OIS) is reported. Women represented 3% of the total sample (n = 21) and 5% (n = 12) of the 256 SBC cases. Therefore, 57% of the women (n = 12) were classified as SBC, and 81% of the women (n = 17) behaviorally evidenced some suicidal motivation. The results underscore that when a female subject becomes involved in a situation leading to an OIS, there is a very high likelihood that she is motivated to be intentionally killed. She is almost guaranteed to have a diagnosed mental disorder, has been prescribed psychiatric medications, and is abusing a substance at the time, most likely alcohol. Nevertheless, she also poses a serious risk of injury to both police officers and civilians during the encounter and will possess a firearm half the time. The wish for suicide is often precipitated by serious relationship issues. Comparisons are made to the male subjects in our previous study.
本文报道了对大量涉及警察枪击事件（OIS）样本（n = 707）中女性自杀情况（SBC）的分析。女性占总样本的3%（n = 21），在256起警察自杀事件中占5%（n = 12）。因此，57%的女性（n = 12）被归类为警察自杀事件，81%的女性（n = 17）在行为上表现出一些自杀动机。结果强调，当一名女性卷入导致警察枪击事件的情况时，她极有可能有被故意杀害的动机。她几乎肯定被诊断患有精神障碍，已被开了精神科药物，并且当时正在滥用某种物质，很可能是酒精。然而，在遭遇过程中，她对警察和平民都构成严重伤害风险，且有一半的可能性持有枪支。自杀愿望通常由严重的人际关系问题引发。文中还与我们之前研究中的男性受试者进行了比较。
