Suicide by cop (SbC), [1] also known as suicide by police or law-enforcement-assisted suicide, [2] is a suicide method in which a suicidal individual deliberately behaves in a threatening manner with intent to provoke a lethal response from a public safety or law enforcement officer [3] to end their own life.
In 2021, the global rate of suicide deaths for men was 12.3 per 100,000, more than double the rate for women, which stood at 5.9 per 100,000 population. However, the sex disparity was uneven across regions, with a male-to-female ratio ranging from as low as 1.4 in the Southeast Asia Region to nearly 4.0 in the Region of the Americas.

Official 2018 statistics show only 46 deaths in police custody and 24 deaths of people in police/judicial remand and an additional 21 civilian killed during police operations for a total of 91 nationally.
