As technology makes the world more accessible, it is increasingly important to develop a wide perspective on social issues as well as political, environmental, and health issues of global significance. This must-have volume tackles the tough issue of suicide. Readers will learn about global suicide trends, policies that address suicide, and consider the political, social, and economic factors that contribute to suicide. The last chapter discusses suicide as an act of terrorism. Primary sources, including speeches and government documents, join essays from international sources for a truly panoramic view.
