Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has published "[

]Characteristics of Juvenile Suicide in Confinement."

This bulletin draws on data from the first national survey of suicides of
youth in confinement, which was sponsored by OJJDP, to review juvenile
suicides that occurred in confinement between 1995 and 1999. It describes the
demographic characteristics and social history of the victims and examines the
characteristics of the facilities in which the suicides occurred. 

A more comprehensive account of the survey and its findings may be found in
the online report "[ http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/ojjdp/213691.pdf ]Juvenile
Suicide in Confinement: A National Survey."
