Suicide by Emile Durkheim
A Study in Sociology
This classic sociological analysis explores the phenomenon of suicide and its social causes. Written by one of the world's most influential sociologists, this book argues that suicide is more than just an individual decision, but is influenced by social and societal factors. By examining suicide rates among different social categories, the author demonstrates that societal factors such as marital status, religion, and economic stability significantly affect suicide rates. The book is a pioneering work in sociological research, introducing innovative theories and methods that have since become standard in the field.
