Law, Justice, and Society by Craig Hemmens

An accessible and lively introduction to the field, Law, Justice, and Society: A Sociolegal Introduction, Fourth Edition, explores the relationship between legal systems and other social institutions using a distinctive sociological point of view. Authors Anthony Walsh and Craig Hemmens provide detailed discussions of the various ways in which law impacts people based on race, class, gender, and age while also introducing students to the origins of the law, the history and development of the American legal system, the sociology of law, court structure, and the difference between civil and criminal law.

"I believe that Law, Justice, and Society, Fourth Edition, is the best book I've seen for the course that I am presently instructing because it has a nice blend of theory, case law information, and practical descriptions"--David Allender, Butler University "The material is engagingly presented, a tall order for the subject matter."--Donna M. Lewis, Santa Barbara City College
