Crisis.

Abstract
This study shows that the social correlates of suicide rates in the USA and Taiwan are quite different, and that Durkheim's theory of suicide does not appear to be valid in Taiwan. By contrast, homicide rates in both nations do share some common social correlates, including divorce rates and crime rates.
