death. Over 30,000 Americans take their own
lives each year: about 85 per day. Further,
there are an estimated 250,000–600,000 suicide
attempts each year. There are at least 5 million
living Americans who have attempted suicide
in the past. While Americans fear being murdered more than dying by their own hand, the
suicide rate is currently double the murder rate.
The dominant mode of analysis of suicide
has stressed Durkheim’s (1966) concept of
social integration – bonds between the indivi
dual and society. Subordination of the indivi
dual to society is thought to provide meaning
and prevent selfishness or ‘‘egoism.’’ Groups
lacking in ties to society, such as widowers,
the divorced, atheists, the unemployed, and
non church members, are at higher than aver
age risk of suicide.
According to Durkheim, the greater the
number of religious beliefs and practices shared
with co religionists, the lower the suicide rate
of a group. Historically, Catholics were more
integrated (e.g., meatless Fridays, confession,
weekly church attendance) than Protestants,
and had lower suicide rates. In modern times,
Islam is a religion with a high level of integration (e.g., prayer is expected multiple times a
day). Research finds that the higher the proportion of Muslims in a nation, the lower the
nation’s suicide rate.”
