Attitudes of police toward suicide: east coast versus west coast.
A study of attitudes toward suicide in 150 police officers identified few differences by age or sex, but the 75 officers on the west coast showed more negative attitudes toward suicide than did the 75 officers on the east coast, and were less inclined to view suicide as an option for themselves.
