Description
"This multidisciplinary undergraduate text draws on the work of anthropologists, historians, law professors, political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists to outline how law is an essential social institution that shapes society, while also being shaped by it. This second edition represents a thorough update and revision of the first edition. It incorporates the latest law and society research relevant to the book's topics, with dozens of new references, along with many up-to-date examples of law and society issues gleaned from newsworthy events"--Provided by publisher.
