Abstract
Dr. Dublin provides statistical data to support his major thesis: that social as well as individual emotional forces are involved in suicide. Numerous graphs and tables are designed to compare, among other variables, the suicide rates for various groups in accordance with age, sex, marital status, racial and national backgrounds, economic conditions, climate, and season. Summaries of religious, ethical, and legal attitudes among primitive, ancient, and modern peoples serve two major purposes: to delineate the societal forces which may inhibit or promote suicide and to discover the effects which the judgment of the community may have on the frequency of suicide.
