Podgorecki examines oppression that results from pressures inside
social groupings, large and small, effected by different normative
and conformity-inducing mechanisms designed to regulate human
behavior. Podgorecki provides a critical examination of the
empirical findings in the most important and imaginative
experimental studies of various types of oppression (including
those by Milgram and Zimbardo), as well as data collected in
"natural" settings like asylums or concentration camps. New
interpretations of those findings furnish a new angle of vision
requiring modification of the existing typologies of individual
adaptation including the best known typology elaborated by Merton
(conformity, ritualism, innovation, withdrawal, rebellion).
Podgorecki goes on to trace regularities in historically recorded
patterns of behavior of people living under totalitarian and
post-totalitarian conditions. Finally, based on these insights and
on the recent developments in sociology of law, a new theory of law
is advanced, which utilizes as its important axis a conceptual
differentiation between the official and intuitive law. Recommended
for scholars of sociology, social psychology, political science,
and especially criminology.
