Homicide vs Suicide

Post by Leisher »

Study shows people think there is more homicide, but in reality, there is more suicide.

Interesting.

Also interesting when you consider the push towards gun control versus the pushback against more mental health.

I think I would have also guessed homicide over suicide.

Suicides don't get front page coverage.

I thought they were roughly equal. But was surprised how many are in the 45 to 65 range.
