This second edition of an influential and insightful book maintains its originality... it is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of recent debates, including globalization, surveillance, the war on terror and the ways in which the law increasingly pervades into every aspect of civil and social life in advanced societies.
It remains the leading text in the area - the only comprehensive and student-friendly text in the area.
decided to use a collection of articles rather than a text
A good background read for students of the course.
The book provides a great intruduction into the field of socio-legal studies focussing on the impacts of social change on the legal system. It is very uselful as a course material as it is written by one author and therefore offers a red thread sometimes missing in other publications that have chapters by diverse writers.
