Suicide
a study in sociology
Book • 1951
In this landmark work, Durkheim argues that suicide rates are influenced by social factors rather than individual or external causes.
He identifies four types of suicide: egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic, each resulting from different imbalances in social integration and moral regulation.
Durkheim uses statistical analysis and comparative studies across different societies to support his thesis that suicide is a social fact, reflecting broader societal issues such as individualization, social disorganization, and the lack of meaningful social connections.
