Suicide in London

چکیده
This is the first of a projected "Maudsley Monograph" series intended to report work carried out at The Institute of Psychiatry (Univ. Lond.) and the associated Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals. In this study Dr. Sainsbury sets out to investigate the social characteristics of the various boroughs in the County of London and their effect on the individuals living in them. He shows that the differences in the suicide rates of boroughs are correlated with differences in certain social characteristics, especially the degree of social isolation, of mobility, and of disorganisation within each

متن کاملEffect of 7 July 2005 terrorist attacks in London on suicide in England and Wales.
BACKGROUND A reduction in suicide in England and Wales has been reported after the attacks of 11 September 2001 in the USA. It may be plausible therefore to expect a much greater impact on suicide in the UK in response to the events of 7 July 2005, caused by the first suicide terrorist attack by Islamic extremists on British soil. AIMS To examine the effect of the 7 July 2005 terrorist attack...
متن کاملEco-evolutionary feedbacks, adaptive dynamics and evolutionary rescue theory.
Adaptive dynamics theory has been devised to account for feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes. Doing so opens new dimensions to and raises new challenges about evolutionary rescue. Adaptive dynamics theory predicts that successive trait substitutions driven by eco-evolutionary feedbacks can gradually erode population size or growth rate, thus potentially raising the extinctio...
