Title: The social structure of right and wrong
First published: 1993
Description: This revised paperback edition features a new prologue and updated citations. The book extends the theoretical approach of Black's classic Behavior of Law (Academic Press, 1976) to a dramatically larger universe: the handling of conflict across societies and history. It also introduces and illustrates Black's "pure sociology," a new theoretical paradigm applicable to human behavior of every kind.
