Title of previous edition: Criminal behavior systems.

Consists of discussions of the works of scholars who have contributed to the cumulative development of the sociology of law. This work surveys the major traditions of legal sociology but is not wedded to any one particular theoretical approach. It also features key sociological and legal concepts, that are presented in bold print and italics.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the sociology of law by providing a coherent organization to the general body of literature in that field

With both contemporary and historical analyses, the book traces the legacy, characteristics, contours, and goals of the sociology of service, shedding light on its roots in early American sociology and its deep connections to activism, before examining the social context that underlies the call for volunteerism.

Aimed at a generation of students and activists who have probably encountered very little of his work, this is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the critical social thought of C. Wright Mills.
