Cambridge University Press Sociology of Law
Book SynopsisThis book is a theoretically informed and research-oriented vision of the sociology of law which examines the place and role of law in society. Mathieu Deflem discusses and reviews major accomplishments in the field and reveals the value of the manner in which sociologists study the social structures and processes of law.Trade Review'Mathieu Deflem's book is a most timely overview of the sociology of law. It brings together a vision of the classical tradition before attending to a comprehensive survey of recent contributions to what has become an increasingly diversified field. He lays the basis for a fruitful engagement between these different strands. Participants will be more aware of the interacting visions of the field and will, hopefully, talk to each other again.' Alan Hunt, Chancellor's Professor, Carleton University'A most welcome immodest effort carried out with aplomb and clarity in the best tradition of scholarship! A learned book that takes ideas and students seriously in demonstrating the intertwining of theory and significant empirical topics within a distinctly sociological perspective. Necessary reading for anyone seeking a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the sociology of law.' Gary T. Marx, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Mathieu Deflem's cross national vision, much less confined by national and language barriers than most work, will greatly inspire the social scientific study of law. His firm roots in general sociology advance insights that are too easily lost when new speciality areas seek refuge in niches neatly separated from their mother disciplines. I highly recommend this book to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and scholars alike.' Joachim J. Savelsberg, Professor of Sociology, University of Minnesota'Until now, all of the diverse and valuable contributions to sociology of law have been scattered across the academic landscape. Mathieu Deflem organizes, synthesizes, and makes sense of them - so they can be used more effectively for the sociological study and understanding of law in society. If I were teaching a graduate seminar on the sociology of law, the first book assigned would be this one.' R. E. D. Schwartz, Senior Research Scholar, Yale Law School'Deflem reviews major accomplishments in the field and reveals the value of multiple ways in which sociologists study the social structures and processes of law, discussing both historical and contemporary issues.' The Times Higher Education Supplement'Sociology of Law: Visions of a Scholarly Tradition is a heavily programmatic book, packed with brief summaries of key figures in the sociology of law wth corresponding biographical sketches. … the book's encyclopaedic breadth is admirable and the author, Mathieu Deflem, an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology of the University of South Carolina, is to be congratulated on not dismissing theorists all-too often ignored. For those keen on following up on the summarised works and some of their accompanying contemporary treatments, Deflem has constructed a website (www.socoflaw.net), which contains an impressive collection of links to online resources. … Teachers in law and sociology faculties alike will find Deflem's book a useful resource.'

Cambridge University Press Incivility
Book SynopsisIn our everyday lives we all experience problematic and unpleasant encounters with 'rude strangers'. This unique book provides the first ever systematic investigation of these events, showing how common they are, what exactly takes place, who are the victims and what are the consequences.Trade Review'How much of a menace are rude people in public places? For the first time, this book gives us the data to find out. The biggest problem is not when nice middle class people venture into bad neighbourhoods. Rudeness happens mainly in ordinary crowds where the foot traffic is heaviest, and it is middle class men pushing obliviously through that are the main culprits. Smith, Phillips and King explain what kinds of situations cause what kinds of rudeness and what victims do about it. The authors do for pedestrians what Jack Katz did for road rage in his famous 'Pissed Off in LA.' This book pushes in alongside Goffman's Relations in Public as a classic of interactional sociology.' Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Violence: A Micro-Sociological Theory'An innovative sociological study of an issue that today generates much anxious chatter but little sustained analysis - rudeness between strangers in public places. By treating incivility as a routine part of everyday life, rather than a policy problem to be fixed, the authors shed new light on this issue and offer some wise words about what can - and cannot - be done to produce civil social relations.' Ian Loader, University of OxfordTable of Contents1. Redirecting incivility research; 2. The fundamentals of the incivil encounter; 3. Everyday incivility and the everyday round; 4. Emotions and sequences; 5. Gender, age and class: divergent experiences?; 6. After the event: coping, avoiding and changing; 7. General attitudes towards the stranger: exploring fear and trust; 8. How to confront incivility; 9. Twenty questions and answers.

Cambridge University Press An Empire On Trial Race Murder And Justice Under British Rule 18701935
Book SynopsisAn Empire on Trial is the first book to explore the issue of interracial homicide in the British Empire during its height â examining these incidents and the prosecution of such cases in each of seven colonies scattered throughout the world. It uncovers and analyzes the tensions of empire that underlay British rule and delves into how the problem of maintaining a liberal empire manifested itself in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The work demonstrates the importance of the processes of criminal justice to the history of the empire and the advantage of a trans-territorial approach to understanding the complexities and nuances of its workings. An Empire on Trial is of interest to those concerned with race, empire, or criminal justice, and to historians of modern Britain or of colonial Australia, India, Kenya, or the Caribbean. Political and post-colonial theorists writing on liberalism and empire, or race and empire, will also find this book invaluable.Trade Review'With characteristic sagacity and verve, Martin Weiner tackles one of the central themes of modern British imperial history - the relationship between liberalism and empire. His wide-ranging and richly documented study of colonial interracial murder trials gives a human face to a subject too often approached as a theoretical abstraction. Vivid, nuanced, and provocative, this book challenges us to look more closely and think more carefully about racial domination and the rule of law in the British Empire.' Dane Kennedy, George Washington University'This original and well-written study can be read with great profit by scholars of law and of Empire; it adds an important and long neglected dimension to both areas of study, and in the process reveals yet more of the rich and complex weft and warp of the history of British imperial rule.' David Killingray, Goldsmiths College, University of London'In An Empire on Trial Martin Wiener gives us an absorbing account of the tension between the principles of British law and its rendering in the colonies. Wiener does a superb job of demonstrating the profound variation in colonial experience of the law and in revealing the ever fraught relationship between local and central objectives. His extraordinarily wide-ranging comparative approach, his carefully argued position, and his deep knowledge of the criminal law all serve to make this study an important and original contribution to legal and to imperial British history.' Philippa Levine, University of Southern California'One of the many virtues of An Empire on Trial is the way it persuades the reader of the significance of the history of criminal justice and demonstrates the centrality of the law in Britain and colonial society. At another level Wiener interprets the evolution of the law in relation to new trends in the social, economic, and cultural history of Britain and the Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book is thus a historiographical landmark, but it will also be of interest to the general public because of its clear and compelling style and the dramatic focus on murder trials. In every way An Empire on Trial is a tour de force.' Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas at Austin'In this important, path-breaking, study in comparative colonial history, Professor Wiener engagingly and persuasively demonstrates the complex and conflicting pulls on the criminal justice systems of a range of multi-racial British colonies. Confidently steering between reductionist and complacent renderings of imperialism, he shows the extent to which British politicians, the Colonial Office, colonial officials, the judiciary, and, not least, the colonized, pushed for genuine equality before the law for all residents of these possessions, typically in the face of visceral opposition by European minorities with their own limited and self-interested vision of the rule of law and its protections.'
