The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society

Book excerpt: "This innovative handbook, edited by four of the leading figures in the area, provides a comprehensive, and truly global, overview of the main approaches and themes at the intersection of of law and society. This volume will be invaluable for law students with no background in social science, those in interdisciplinary programs, such as law and society, justice studies and legal studies, and those with interests in law, but based in other social science subjects. It will also appeal to general readers interested in questions of justice and rights, including activists and advocates around the world."--
