Validity of Durkheim's classical study concerning suicides in the XXI century Case study - Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this work is a scientific description of Durkheim's notion of suicide and collected data concerning the number of suicide cases, as well as the explanation of the suicide on the basis of overruling social context or social factors. The starting point of this work is the suicide issue as a global appearance which threatens to endanger public health in countries worldwide, and therefore it conditions the need or introducing multi- sector prevention strategies, as well as continual researches. Therefore the research subject presents the validation check on classical sociological standpoints concerning social causes for suicide and specifically in the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the beginning of the XXI century, in other words, searching for the answer to the question-Can Durkheim's classic social study concerning suicide explain the rate of suicides in Bosnia and Herzegovina (further in the text referred as B&H) at the beginning of the XXI century? Specifically, is the classic assumption of social conditioning concerning suicide valid? In this work I used general scientific methods: hypothetical- deductive, statistic and inductive, as well as a case study for data gathering. The research outcomes derive from verified classic assumptions about the causes of suicides in contemporary age, as well as unveiling the socially influenced causes of suicides and the possible measures for their prevention. The suicide rate in B&H at the beginning of the XXI century confirms the assumption on socially predestined suicide. The veracity of the raised rates of suicide in peaceful rather than in war conditions was proven. The influence of the economic stagnancy and age was also proven to affect the rates of suicides in B&H at the beginning of the XXI century, and the assumption on female resistance to suicide was validated as well.
