| Popis: | 101 Suicide is a complex behavior,genetic,psychological, physiological,and social perspectives are often been discussed,but are rarely seen from criminology’s perspective.Suicide is considered a crime in criminological point of view.Person who commits suicide is considered both the perpetrator and the victim.According to Gottfredson and Hirschi’s General Theory of Crime(1990),crime is the result of individual with low self-control and opportunity.In this study, attempts to generalize low self-control theory by exploring whether there is correlation between low self-control and suicide,and the influence of the social control over low self-control and suicide. This study aims to understand the correction institution’s "drug abusers " and “inmates”of suicidal character.Samples were taken from six correction institution’s "forced drug abstainers " and "inmates", between the ages of 20-65 years of age, enrolled from March 2013 to April,a total of 610 subjects, 530 valid questionnaires (87%). The samples are mainly divided by gender,age,marital status,education, occupation,identity,disease,drug abuse,suicidal ideation,suicide attempts and other projects for descriptive statistics. Samples’basic information and relation to suicide adopts the chi-square test. Samples’ basic data and low self-control, depression and family attachment tendencies relationship and trends adopt the independent t test, one-way ANOVA analysis, logic regression and linear regression. Suicide decision depending on low self-control, depression tendencies and families attactment adopts the logistic regression and nested regression analysis test and it’s been analyzed and discussed. The results of study included:(一)On the side of suicide, females regardless of suicidal ideation or suicide attempts were higher than the male rate, but regardless of age, and the majority choice of suicide is medicine taking and wrist slitting.The causes of suicide,from age 20-40 years are caused by emotional factors, age 41-50 years by economic factors, and aged 51-65 years are mainly caused by disease factors.(二) People with Low self-control in terms " bad temper",family attachment and depression can effectively predict their suicidal tendencies. (三) Low self-control and family attachment with "negative correlation" indicating that the lower the self-control is, the lower is the attachment on their families. "drug abusers" and "inmates" before in jail tendency towards depression is higher than the average suicide rate. Suicide is seen as a crime, among low self-control, only "bad temper" and suicide had a low degrees of correlation,though still cannot fully explain the causes of suicide, but family history of suicide and suicidal ideation plays an important role.Among the mediator variables,especially “depression tendancy”can most effectively a predictor of the suicide.Thus suicidal ideation,family experiences and depression were noteworthy.Hence,stable family structure and cultivation of a healthy personality is the important work in suicide prevention. |
