suicidio, prisiones, género, edad, situación procesalResumen
El suicidio se ha establecido como la principal causa de muerte en las prisiones españolas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comparar la incidencia de suicidio en la población penitenciaria española con la población general, analizando las diferencias según sexo, edad y situación procesal (penados vs. preventivos) a lo largo de un periodo de 20 años. Los resultados revelan que la población penitenciaria presenta un riesgo significativamente mayor de suicidio en comparación con la población general, con un incremento más pronunciado en mujeres. Además, los hombres en situación de prisión preventiva muestran un riesgo mayor de suicidio frente a aquellos que ya están cumpliendo condena. Las implicaciones de este estudio destacan la necesidad de fortalecer las políticas de prevención del suicidio en el ámbito penitenciario, adaptando las intervenciones a las particularidades de género, edad y situación procesal.
