Abstract:

Sociology has long grappled with the possibility of social order and the role of law in its constitution in an increasingly complex society. Niklas Luhmann's social systems theory has received praise for its rigor and sophistication in response to that problematic, and yet been criticized for its high level of abstraction and empirical emptiness. In three independent essays, this dissertation brings systems theoretic theses and concepts to bear on some current empirical debates in socio-legal scholarship. The first essay uses the concept of structural coupling to account for the 20th century

Abstract:

Law enforcement analysis is increasingly utilized by police organizations to help its warranted officials understand the public safety and security environment and make decisions about threats, harms and risks. While there is a well-developed practitioner literature and a number of evaluative studies about law enforcement analysis, there has been little empirical research into the day-to-day work practice of law enforcement analysis. This thesis utilizes participant observation and semi-structured interviews to construct an ethnography of the daily work practice of law enforcement analysis in

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I reconceptualize the concept of violence to consider its physical, sexual, psychological and economic dimension. I attempt to add to existing meanings of "violence" to include not only forms of abuse on the individual and group level but also abuse practiced by legal, political, ideological and economic institutions in a collective and systemic manner. Due to the significance of child maltreatment around the globe, I focus on the impact of law on this problem specifically through a study of domestic and international use of the best interests' doctrine; evidentiary issue

This thesis offers a comprehensive examination of the dilemmas posed by cyberspace for contemporary social research and in how far current ethical frameworks can manage the risks that may emerge in this new research environment. The study is situated in the period of 1998 to 2010, during which the social uses of rapidly converging technological tools led to the extension of the social world into a new social sphere of social interaction called cyberspace. Social scientists have been quick to explore this sphere; however, as the dominant discourses are based on ideas of newness and difference t

This dissertation develops a historical and theoretical reconstruction of the category and praxis of extraterritoriality in the fields of International Relations and Public International Law. The analysis first addresses the dominant Neo-Liberal tradition and its focus on the concept of 'judicial globalisation', before engaging with critical and Marxist studies that rely on imperialism and capitalism as explanatory phenomena. In response, the thesis argues that extraterritoriality is a political process, covering a set of jurisdictional struggles determined by contested social property relatio

The purpose of this study was to empirically assess the validity of legal assumptions regarding the use of physical punishment by Mexican parents with their children. Three legal assumptions were identified and tested in the studied Mexican legal framework: (1) parents always act in the best interest of their children; (2) non-severe physical punishment is an adequate and nonharmful strategy for rising children; and (3) parents discriminate between moderate/corrective punishment and severe child abuse.

Using data from in-depth interviews with activist lawyers, this dissertation addresses the role of lawyers in social movements. Activist lawyers are a subculture within the legal profession who work to reconcile the multiple identities that they experience as "professionals" and "activists". The data illuminates the ways in which lawyers enter into activism, how they manage their personal and professional identities, and what the consequences of activism are for them professionally and personally. This work challenges the assumption that lawyers act according to their professional roles and ha

Abstract:

This thesis argues that the sociology of human rights is more restricted in its treatment of natural law than it should be. In building this argument the thesis explores the different ways in which the subdiscipline is restricted and demonstrates how a different approach to natural law can make it stronger. It notes the enduring influence of the traditional sociological dismissal of natural law, an approach to natural law thought that relies on a reactive reading of natural law as doctrine. This traditional approach grounds both the dismissal of the notion of human rights in broader sociology

Abstract:

Parental responsibility for young offenders is a social construct which is ambiguous and taken for granted.

Therefore, the concept needs further examination than is provided by the current literature in order to clarify its inferences aimed at parents, whose personal circumstances differ. The current

The dominant P.E.A.C.E. narrative (P=parenting plan, E=equitable distribution, A=alimony, C=child support, E=everything else) restricts available discourse in mediation and guides mediators’ behaviors in ways that homogenize families by provi

To deal with the world around us we reduce the infinite to a schema and then judge the infinite within that schema. We often forget that that 'the way things are' are not necessarily normal or natural.

Abstract:

<p> Responses to sex offenders often involve collective campaigns that target political and criminal justice systems rather than individual offenders. Scholars have described these community responses as part of a broader moral panic, but that interpretation generally overlooks differences in the form of responses across places. This dissertation uses data from case studies of three California towns to examine how local political and legal contexts contribute to variation in community responses to violent sex offenders.
