Isn’t Durkheim selling iamiitton as a cause of suicide short here? By the time he’s writing the ‘jungen Werther’ copycat suicides had come and gone (though the discussion of the Werther effect would come only come much later). They can’t function as the sole or even the majority cause of suicide, but they certainly form significant statistical blips.
