解説
Suicide is an ageless concern that has been with us as long as man has existed. Forbidden by all religions, suicide has nonetheless become such a practical problem that it is now an everyday concern, resulting in more annual deaths than homicide. Suicide must be seen as a societal and personal problem-it is a complex act with no simple explanation. The motivation is multifaceted, often not understood by the family or by other survivors.
Suicide: Theory, Practice and Investigation is the only text available in paperback form that offers an accessible overview of suicide in the United States. Written by Ronald M. Holmes and Stephen T. Holmes, two of the foremost authors of murder and violent crime books in the world, this book examines the social problem and criminal justice concerns of suicide from unique perspectives. The authors discuss the various forms of suicide and analyze the latest data on regional differences and how gender, marital status, occupation, health, drug use, and religion all influence the practice of suicide.
Key Features:
- Analyzes suicide letters to provide students with unique perspectives not found in other books
- Covers investigative techniques that will be of interest to professionals and students alike
- Includes carefully selected photos to explicate the material covered
- Categorizes suicide into different types including anomic, egoistic, altruistic, and fatalistic to distinguish the various reasons for which people have taken their own lives
- Integrates notes within the chapters to show the state of mind for those who commit suicide
- Explores learnings from suicidal behavior to help readers recognize how better to prevent the practice

In addition, it can also be used for a variety of other courses, including Psychopathology, Sociology of Deviance, Abnormal Psychology, and Violent Crimes. This book will also be of interest to anyone looking for a clear understanding of the extent of suicide in the United States.
