1. Suicide
The Social Causes of Self-Destruction
A sociological analysis that reframes self-destruction as social behavior shaped by relationships, status, and moral conflict rather than solely individual pathology. Using a “pure sociology” framework, it explains how and why rates and styles vary across groups and eras, and how acts can function as protest, punishment, escape, or communication. Through comparative cases and data, it critiques classic typologies and offers new classifications and testable predictions. The discussion also considers the roles of publicity, social media, and the implications for prevention.
