Work Description

The authors of the viewpoints presented in Global Viewpoints: Suicide discuss suicide trends worldwide including the deleterious effect the global economic downturn has had on some communities and provide an overview of several political, economic, and cultural factors that contribute to suicide rates. They also examine what national and local governments are doing to address suicide in their regions and survey suicide prevention efforts. The book concludes with a look at suicide as a form of terrorism, focusing on the increasing use of suicide bombing in recent years as a tool of terrorist groups. - Introduction.
