商品描述

This book examines the intricate dynamics of when individuals adhere to laws, taking into account the context in which laws attempt to shape human behavior. While existing literature touches upon various reasons why people comply with laws, the book focuses on a critical question which has been missing from the discussion: when do people obey laws?

By treating law as a form of social communication, it develops an integrated framework to answer this question. It explores how social, psychological, and institutional conditions shape compliance decisions of individuals. What does a law signify? When does the compulsion to obey arise? When do individuals comply out of a fear for legal sanctions or social repercussions? Why do some laws have high symbolic values and others fail despite harsh punishments?

The book unveils the contextual intricacies that underlie obedience to law. It challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the power and limitations of law in shaping human behavior. For scholars and academics seeking a deeper understanding of legal compliance and role of law in shaping behaviors, this book will be an indispensable resource.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討個人遵守法律的複雜動態,並考慮法律試圖塑造人類行為的背景。雖然現有文獻觸及人們遵守法律的各種原因,但本書專注於一個關鍵問題,這個問題在討論中一直被忽略:人們何時遵守法律?

通過將法律視為社會溝通的一種形式,本書建立了一個整合框架來回答這個問題。它探討社會、心理和制度條件如何塑造個人的遵從決策。法律意味著什麼?何時產生遵守的強制力?個人何時出於對法律制裁或社會後果的恐懼而遵守法律?為什麼有些法律具有高度象徵價值,而其他法律儘管懲罰嚴厲卻失敗了?

本書揭示了遵守法律背後的情境複雜性。它挑戰常識,提供了對法律在塑造人類行為方面的力量和限制的新觀點。對於學者和學術界希望更深入了解法律遵從和法律在塑造行為方面的角色的人來說,本書將是一個不可或缺的資源。
