Law in Perspective - Ethics, Society and Critical Thinking (Paperback)

Chiefly written as a textbook for first-year university law students, this book encourages critical, responsible and creative thinking about law as a system of ideas and as a social institution. It explores the relationships between law, logic and science, examines the socio-economic role of law and asks what role the legal system plays in alleviating or exacerbating contemporary social problems, such as crime and punishment, terrorism, refugees and tort law reform.
