Fifty-six consecutive cases of suicide by hanging are reviewed. The data provide some evidence for associations between suicide by hanging and youth, incarceration, black males, and clustering. Evidence was noted of low incidence in females, rarity of white female hangings at home, a preference to hang oneself away from home if there have been previous suicide attempts, and possible seasonal trends which may differ from suicide overall. Thus, aside from the method chosen, hanging victims as a group displayed some differences from suicides in general.
回顾了连续56例缢吊自杀病例。数据为缢吊自杀与青年、监禁、黑人男性及聚集现象之间的关联提供了一些证据。注意到女性发生率较低，白人女性在家中缢吊罕见，若有过自杀未遂史则倾向于在家外缢吊，以及可能存在与总体自杀情况不同的季节性趋势。因此，除了所选择的方法外，缢吊自杀受害者作为一个群体与一般自杀者存在一些差异。
