title: The analysis of the structure of suicidal behaviours in the region of the Lublin voivodship in the years 1997-1999.
abstract: Suicide is a phenomenon that raises particularly strong emotions of the public creating a question about the sense of life and death. The phenomenon reflects customs, personal and social approach, as well as it undergoes historical and cultural changes. The aim of the study is to find the factors that influence making the decision about suicide. The analysis was concerned with the statistical data taken from the Voivodship Police Headquarters in Lublin and with death certificates in the Lublin voivodship. The highest suicide rates were for people included in the age group between 31 and 50. The suicides more frequently were males.
