Description: The contributors to this volume debate the issues relating to the future of social control from a range of perspectives. They outline its history and politics in both Anglo-American sociology and the Hispanic world; they discuss the weaknesses of the concept and assess its relevance for contemporary Europe.

Social Control and Political Order provides an in-depth examination of the debates on the possibilities and problems for social control as a core sociological concept. This will be essential reading for students and academics in sociology of law, criminology, social theory, legal theory, jurisprudence and political science.
