dc.description.abstract | Academics, journalists and others are still using the word 'commit' in connection with suicide; yet suicide is not a sin and is no longer a crime. We even see it used by other suicidologists in specialist journals. This use of language is important because of the three powerful, historical and potentially stigmatising uses to which the word 'commit' has been put: • The word 'commit' is commonly used in connection with religious offences. Indeed suicide is considered wrong in many religions. Over time suicide has been regarded as a cardinal sin in some religions and is often considered a moral sin today. • In the past, suicide was a criminal act in many countries. For example, there was a legal prohibition against 'committing' suicide in England and Wales until the Suicide Act 1961 was introduced. • In many countries, care for those with mental illness can be sought involuntarily ('committed'). This is often the only occurrence outside of committing a crime and being held that an individual can be detained without their consent. | en |
