This approach was pioneered by the sociologist Emile Durkheim at the end of the nineteenth century. He was able to show that there is a clear relationship between the likelihood of suicide and the strength of the bonds which link an individual to the rest of the society. — location: [64](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B001APFGO4&location=64) ^ref-59394 ---
