Exploring Law and Norms in New book

A significant contribution to the study of law and social norms has been made by the Sociology of Law Department in Lund with the new book 'Social and Legal Norms. Towards a Socio-Legal Understanding of Normativity'.

Looking to answer questions like ‘What is the normativity of law?’ and ‘How do norms shape the making and using of law?’ this book combines theoretical investigations with empirical case studies.
