Better Data, Psychological Autopsies and Brain Examination Advocated for Murder/Suicide
Unlocking the Mystery of Murder-Suicide by Peter M. Marzuk. Opinion. The Wall Street Journal. December 25, 2012.
In this opinion piece, a psychiatry professor at Weill Cornell Medical College advocates what he calls "psychological autopsies" to help explain perpetrator's intentions before death. He also advocates detailed physical examination of the perpetrator's brain to spot anomalies. Also noted as a problem is the patchwork of data involving murder/suicides. Without a more comprehensive approach than what is currently available, it is difficult to conceive of an effective overall national strategy.
