The logic of social control
Synopsis
This comprehensive study explores the nature of social control, examining how societies define and respond to deviant behavior. It traces the evolution of law and investigates how different societies, from complex to simpler ones, manage deviance with or without formal governmental institutions. The book provides a foundational paradigm for the field, inventories existing knowledge, and introduces new theoretical frameworks.
