The Edinburgh/Glasgow Law and Society Series has been
launched to provide a forum for interdisciplinary study in the
philosophical, political and sociological traditions of thinking
about the law. It is these linkages and intersections that the
series sets out to chart and explore, in the tradition of research
undertaken in the Law Schools of Edinburgh and Glasgow for over
twenty years now.
The series covers a broad field that includes legal reasoning
and the ethics of rule following, public law and democratic theory,
socio-legal studies and the sociology of punishment, crime, crime
control and policing, the politics of transitional justice, as well
as the sociology and anthropology of law. The Series places special
emphasis on the function of law in its political dimension and with
it, in the uses of critical legal theory, capturing something
significant of the orientation and the priorities that animate
research and teaching in both Law schools.
