A study examined the suicide risk among individuals charged with domestic violence (DV) offenses who were released from jail in King County, Washington. Analyzing records from 282,246 individuals released between 1999 and 2018, researchers linked these records to death records from 1999 to 2020. The findings indicated that individuals with a history of DV-related offenses had a significantly elevated risk of suicide. The standardized mortality ratio for suicide among these individuals was 1.80 compared to King County residents and 1.51 compared to residents of Washington state. After adjusting for demographic and criminal history, the risk of suicide death for those with DV offenses was 1.31 times higher than for individuals released from jail without such a history. The study suggests that those with DV offenses are at a greater risk for suicide compared to both the general population and non-DV offenders. Researchers recommend further investigation into suicide prevention strategies, such as safety planning and addressing access to lethal means, for this vulnerable group following their release from jail.
