Research has shown a link between gender, violence, and suicide. This relationship is complex, and few empirical studies have explored suicide and family and interpersonal violence perpetrated by men. Drawing on a coronial dataset of suicide cases and a mixed methods design, this study integrated a quantitative analysis of 155 suicide cases with a qualitative analysis of medico-legal reports from 32 cases. Findings showed different types and patterns of family and intimate partner violence for men who died by suicide. Men used violence in response to conflict, but also to dominate women. Cumulative, interwoven effects of violence, mental illness, alcohol and other drug use, socioeconomic, and psychosocial circumstances were observed in our study population. However, the use of violence and suicidal behaviour was also a deliberate and calculated response by which some men sought to maintain influence or control over women. Health and criminal justice interventions served as short-term responses to violence, mental illness, and suicidal behaviour, but were of limited assistance.
研究表明性别、暴力和自杀之间存在关联。这种关系很复杂，很少有实证研究探讨男性实施的自杀和家庭及人际暴力。本研究借鉴了自杀案件的验尸数据集和混合方法设计，将 155 例自杀案件的定量分析与 32 例案件的法医报告的定性分析相结合。研究结果表明，自杀身亡的男性存在不同类型和模式的家庭和亲密伴侣暴力。男性使用暴力来应对冲突，但也是为了控制女性。在我们的研究人群中观察到暴力、精神疾病、酒精和其他药物使用、社会经济和心理社会环境的累积、交织影响。然而，一些男性使用暴力和自杀行为也是一种蓄意和有计划的反应，他们试图通过这种方式维持对女性的影响力或控制力。卫生和刑事司法干预措施是对暴力、精神疾病和自杀行为的短期反应，但帮助有限。
