Description

Explore a deep sociological analysis of suicide through this essential volume from the Princeton Legacy Library. This work provides a comprehensive review and critique of sociological literature, tracing the evolution of the field from Emile Durkheim's foundational 1897 study to contemporary academic writings. Author Douglas examines the structural-functional approach to suicide and identifies fundamental weaknesses in existing studies. The book offers an alternative theoretical framework, challenging long-held assumptions in the field. By demonstrating the unreliability of official statistics, the text argues that previous explanations regarding suicide rates and abstract social meanings were built on an inadequate and misleading statistical base. This book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, and academics looking to understand the complexities of sociological theory and the methodological challenges inherent in studying suicide rates. It provides a rigorous academic perspective on how social meanings and statistical data shape our understanding of this critical subject.
