Sociology of law (SoL) as a normative science, unlike legal science, does not have anything to do with the study of what is desirable or what is regarded as morally good. Yet the norm perspective is not unicellular. It can be subdivided into three dimensions: (1) analytical, (2) empirical and (3) normative. For purpose of this book, I am concentrating on the analytical dimension. After all, it is what is most important in terms of explaining how it compares with other fields. An important point is that people are not always conscious of how norms steer their choices and behaviour. SoL can help uncover what is latent and thus detect motivational forces both at micro and macro levels.
