A primary concern within the study of law has been to understand the \"law-society\" relation. Underlying this concern is the belief that law has a distinctly social basis; it both shapes - and is shaped by - the society in which it operates. This book explores the law-society relation by locating law within the nexus of race/class/gender/sexuality relations in society. In addition to updating the material in the theoretical and substantive chapters, this third edition of Locating Law includes three new contributions: sentencing law and Aboriginal peoples; corporations and the law; and obscenity and indecency legislation. The analyses offered in the book are sure to generate discussion and debate and, in the process, enhance our understanding of law?s location.\""Elizabeth Comack is a professor of Sociology at the University of Manitoba.
