a) In recent times, because of the omnifarious social crisis and in the face of failures, disenchantment, insurmountable economic problems and despair, there have been many cases of suicide. This phenomenon, which is often ignored, has been interpreted in a number of ways. In sociological thought, Emile Durkheim makes early mention of ‘anomic suicide’. b) ‘Anomic suicide’ is observed in societies where social cohesion has broken down either because of prosperity or, alternatively, because of an acute economic crisis. On the other hand, ‘in times of great dangers and threats, the cohesion of the members of society increases and the percentage of suicides is limited.
