## Description

Hailed as one of the most important works in the history of sociology, and a precursor to the revolutionary theoretical approach of pure sociology, this short and lucid book is as relevant today as when it was first published in 1976. To honour this seminal book, Emerald is pleased to announce that it will publish a special edition of "The Behavior of Law", including a number of additional features: a new foreword from Mark Cooney; an interview with the author, entitled "How Law Behaves"; reflections from a number of prominent sociologists on "The Behavior of Law"'s impact over the last thirty years. It features an author profile written by Randall Collins.

Review: Quite an experience in understanding how law is really enforced in the U.S and elsewhere. - This is a fairly complex analysis of how "Law"....interacts with various segments of our society. How do you measure law and law enforcement??? This author does a fantastic job.....this should be required reading for those in law enforcement; from District Attorney Down...to Cop on the beat. Quite an experience in the reality of Law.
Review: Good read - A must have

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Landmark in Scientific Sociology
*by J***G on April 12, 2018*

This book examines law (when the government levies sanctions against deviance) as a natural phenomena. Like gravity or electrical charge, the quantity of law varies across time and space, even down to the individual situation or relationship. One assault or theft results in lots of arrest, prosecution, and prison time, while another doesn't even get reported to the police. One homicide results in the death penalty, while in another case the killer walks free. Black draws on a wide variety of cross-cultural and historical examples to argue that in all human societies, law obeys the same fundamental patterns. Using a purely sociological approach, he proposes simple principles that explain variation in law across societies, parts of society, and across individual cases. It's an amazing example of one can make a scientific sociological theory, and was the foundation of a how line of research and theory on how social relationships shape law and other forms of conflict management.
