The handling of right and wrong, known in sociology as social control or conflict management, covers everything from a brief glance of disapproval to the horrific bombing of a large city. This book contains formulations that predict and explain the nature of social control. "The Social Structure of Right and Wrong" uses a theoretical approach, pursuing a radically sociological (not psychological) and uncompromisingly scientific approach to the application of morality. The book provides a wealth of new sociological theory on largely unexplored topics such as vengeance, discipline, avoidance, pacification, negotiation and toleration. It contains new concepts and typologies applicable to partisan and nonpartisan forms of conflict management. It also offers new theoretical perspectives on: crime as a form of self-help; the broadening legal liability of organizations; social control of the self; social determination; evolution of partisanship; and moralism. Black is the author of "The Behavior of Law" also published by Academic Press.

Hailed as one of the most important works in the history of sociology, and a precursor to the revolutionary theoretical approach of pure sociology, this short and lucid book is as relevant today as when it was first published in 1976. To honour this seminal book, Emerald is pleased to announce that it will publish a special edition of "The Behavior of Law", including a number of additional features: a new foreword from Mark Cooney; an interview with the author, entitled "How Law Behaves"; reflections from a number of prominent sociologists on "The Behavior of Law"'s impact over the last thirty years. It features an author profile written by Randall Collins.
