📝 Description

Suicide: A Study in Sociology is a groundbreaking work by Émile Durkheim, first published in 1897. It is considered one of the first modern sociological studies to use empirical data to examine a social phenomenon. Durkheim analyzes different types of suicide and argues that suicide rates are influenced by social forces and integration, rather than purely individual psychological factors.
