The results were interpreted using a subcultural theory of violence, and the social policy implications of the results were discussed.

Steven Stack's ecological studies of national suicide rates.
The results of eight studies by Steven Stack on national suicide rates were replicated using a data set for 1980; however, a multivariate data analysis indicated that the many associations found by Stack reduced to one major correlate of national suicide rates--females' participation in the labor force.
