Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Sociology of law is a systematic, empirical study of how laws – abstract systems designed to regulate human behaviour – work in practice. Contemporary societies become increasingly regulated by law – unlike in the past, where informal norms, such as religion and tradition, used to play a more decisive role. Therefore, we will explore the consequences of this process of juridification (i.e. expansion of law), as well as the potential of law to be a tool for social change, drawing insights from fellow disciplines of social anthropology, political science, social policy, criminology and psychology. |
