This study shows that the social correlates of suicide rates in the USA and Taiwan are quite different, and that Durkheim's theory of suicide does not appear to be valid in Taiwan. By contrast, homicide rates in both nations do share some common social correlates, including divorce rates and crime rates.
这项研究表明，美国和台湾自杀率的社会关联因素有很大不同，而且涂尔干的自杀理论在台湾似乎并不成立。相比之下，这两个地区的凶杀率确实存在一些共同的社会关联因素，包括离婚率和犯罪率。
