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. As such, the text gives a comprehensive overview of
theoretical sociology of law. It deals with the broad expanse of
the field and covers a vast amount of intellectual terrain. This
volume is intended to fill a gap in the literature. Most textbooks
in the sociology of law are insufficiently theoretical or else do
not provide a paradigmatic analysis of sociological theories. The
content of this text consists of discussions of the works of
scholars who have contributed the most to the cumulative
development of the sociology of law. It surveys the major
traditions of legal sociology but is not wedded to any one
particular theoretical approach. Both the "classical," or
nineteenth-century, and "contemporary," or twentieth-century,
perspectives are covered. The reader will see that
nineteenth-century thought has directly influenced the emergence of
twentieth-century theory. One unique feature of this book is that
key sociological and legal concepts, presented in bold print and
italics, are defined, described, and illustrated throughout.
Although the nature of the subject matter is highly theoretical
and, at times, quite complex, Trevino values every effort to
present the material in the most straightforward and intelligible
form possible without compromising the integrity of the theories
themselves. In short, this book aims to accomplish three
objectives: inform about the progressive advancement of
sociological theory, teach the reader to analyze the law as a
social phenomenon, and develop in the reader a critical mode of
thinking about issues relevant to the relationship between law and
society.
