Law and Order Reconsidered (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, analyzing the United Statesâ epidemic of violence and its many causes, posits that we have moved to a stage where formal legal institutions occupy a preeminent position in preserving social order. As traditional institutions like family, church, and community wane in their influence, we increasingly rely on the police, courts, and corrections system to enforce the law and maintain stability within society. However, the author points out that the effectiveness of these institutions is predicated on two factors: force, wielded through the threat and use of punishment, and legitimacy, earned through the publicâs trust in the fairness and impartiality of the law. The author illuminates how this ârule of lawâ functions, historically and in todayâs climate of social change, skepticism, and heightened demands for immediate institutional responsiveness. The insights in this book are crucial for understanding the complex relationship between violence, the justice system, and our collective desire for safety and societal harmony. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330343197_0
