Description
There is still a good deal of confusion surrounding the sociology of law with regard to the subject and boundaries of the field. Social Structure and Law clarifies some of the central issues. Using his own social structure model, Evan explains the interactions between legal and non-legal institutions and provides some useful theoretical guidelines for ongoing research. Readers will profit from studying this volume which sets forth a rationale for theoretical and empirical contributions to the sociology of law.
