Homicide Rates among Native American Children: The Status Integration Hypothesis.
Young, Thomas J.; French, Lawrence A.
Adolescence, v32 n125 p57-59 Spr 1997
Examined correlations between the percentage of Native American females in the labor force and the homicide rates for Native American children. Results show that female employment rates correlated with suicide rates (high employment corresponded with high suicide). Suggests that the disruption of aboriginal kinship systems can explain these findings. (RJM)
