Understanding Suicide haine a light on the problem of suicide in our society. Analysing the social factors that enable and facilitate suicide, such as education, religion, the media, politics and the law, this book highlights suicide as a product of society's structhures. Lookin to society, rather than the individual, for both cause and solution, Understanding Suicide presents a new perspective on solving the problem of suicide. Society's structures foster unfairness and inequality and render some individual characteristics, skills and abilities more favourable than others. This results in the marginalisation of thise who cannot effectivelu contribute to society's structured needs. Personal accounts of people affected by suicide underline how external forces influence the direction of lives, and take suicide out of the realm of personal choice.
