Criminal and Administrative Aspects of the Sociology of Law: Opportunities for Expanding the Research and the Field of Expertise
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: At the moment, the sociology of law is one of the interdisciplinary sciences involving the study of law as a social institution.Nevertheless, despite attempts by social scientists to consolidate legal and sociological ideas, law and sociology remain split up.This study examines the current situation with the sociology of law, existing problems within theoretical discourse, and the opportunities for extending its theoretical and methodological feature set to criminal and administrative law.Given the ongoing debate about the disciplinary affiliation of sociology of law, science continues to face problems of terminological uncertainty, the need for a clearer definition of the scope of the study, prioritized from the perspective of the science development logic.This makes it difficult to apply the resources of sociology of law not only to criminal and administrative law but also to other branches of jurisprudence.
