It is the most coherent introduction available to the range of theoretical approaches, offering critical insights as well as descriptive summaries and examples.- --Austin T. Turk, Department of Sociology, University of California, Riverside -This is a most useful and valuable text, not only for the ideas and thoughts that it contains, but also for its easy style in dealing with sociolegal concepts, perspectives, and theories.- --Abdol-Reza Alizadeh, Faculty of Law, University of Tehran -This well-constructed text is a solid guide through the foundational traditions in the sociology of law, as well as through a number of important contemporary perspectives.
