Title of previous edition: Criminal behavior systems.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the sociology of law by providing a coherent organization to the general body of literature in that field

With both contemporary and historical analyses, the book traces the legacy, characteristics, contours, and goals of the sociology of service, shedding light on its roots in early American sociology and its deep connections to activism, before examining the social context that underlies the call for volunteerism.

Over against such reference volumes as encyclopedias, "commentaries" consist of a collection of lectures or essays that discuss and explain in some detail particular topics and sources. This volume consists of several essays of contemporary comments and criticisms intended generally to inform and educate on the social scientific study of law.

Aimed at a generation of students and activists who have probably encountered very little of his work, this is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the critical social thought of C. Wright Mills.
