Suicide by Émile Durkheim

Suicide by Émile Durkheim is a founding work of sociology, which treats suicide not only as an individual act but as a social fact.

The book compares rates of suicide across groups and societies, arguing that social forces — integration into community life and the regulation of desires and norms — help explain patterns that might seem purely personal. It established a sociological way of studying human behaviour that remains influential.

What readers will explore:

• Suicide as a social, not only individual, phenomenon
• Social integration and regulation
• Comparing patterns across groups and societies
• A founding work of sociology

Who this book is for: Students of sociology, and readers interested in the classics of social science.
