A comparison of the homicide rate of mentally abnormal offenders and murderers who subsequently commit suicide, from a range of different populations, shows a uniform consistency when compared with the overall rates. 'Laws' are proposed which govern the rates within these subgroups in comparison with the population as a whole and which determine fluctuations. Qualitatively different psychiatric and sociological factors are thought to account for these findings and require further elucidation.
对来自不同人群的精神异常罪犯及随后自杀的杀人犯的凶杀率进行比较，结果显示，与总体凶杀率相比，这些凶杀率具有一致的稳定性。本文提出了一些“定律”，这些定律可用于管控这些亚组人群相对于总体人群的凶杀率，并确定其波动情况。从性质上来说，不同的精神病学和社会学因素被认为是造成这些结果的原因，需要进一步阐明。
