Law/Society
Origins, Interactions, and Change
- John R. Sutton - University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
Family Law
The book: contrasts normative and sociological perspectives on law; presents a primer on the logic of research and inference as applied to law related issues; examines theories of legal change; and discusses law in action with specific reference to civil rights legislation.
"I think this book is going to be major contribution to the sociology of law. The balance between theory and substance, always a problem in this field, is very nice."
"I look forward to using this book in my undergraduate sociology of law course."
Courses for 2010-2011 will not be decided until early in the new year (January 2010). The (sociology) department has mentioned to me the possibility of my teaching a law course. If I am assigned a course such as sociology of law or women and law, I am interested in using this book as a core or supplemental text.
