N2  - Most sociological theories explain suicide with static macro-social conditions, such as a degree of social integration or inequality. Thus these theories do not actually identify the dynamic causes of individual suicides. To correct this shortcoming I draw from Donald Black's theory of conflict, which explains clashes of right and wrong with the movement of social time - dynamic fluctuations of social space, including relationship-level changes in intimacy and inequality. I propose that suicide is caused by increases in inequality and decreases in intimacy, and the probability of suicide varies directly with the size and speed of these changes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
