title: A study of police suicide in New York City, 1934-1939.
abstract: A study of 92 suicides among police officers in New York City from 1934 to 1939 gave little evidence that work-related stress played a role. Those suicides who were alcohol abusers were younger, less often promoted, more often had current job stress, and more often had interpersonal motives for their suicide.
