The researchers might want to find out how many of the suicides were young blond males during the years of the Scarborough Rapist hunt... The inquiry into the failures of the hunt for the Scarborough Rapist indicated that the police stopped looking for him because the attacks had stopped, and they believed that it was possible the perp (too much Blue Blood) was dead.

According to the MR. JUSTICE ARCHIE CAMPBELL review, there were about 3,000 suspects in the crimes later attributed to Paul Bernardo. If a small fraction of those 3,000 suspects received a hint from behind to "don't jump" while standing on the subway platform during the stress of a rape investigation, there is reasonable chance that some would find it to be a suggestion to jump.

I am curious as to whether the number of subway platform jumpers decreased after the Toronto Transit police constable service was disbanded for a few years?
