Environmental damage has a significant impact and brings significant economic costs to societies around the world. Although these harms have been studied from a legal and social science perspective, these discipline-specific approaches alone cannot fully address the complexity of these environmental challenges. For example, many legal approaches are limited by their inattention to the motives underlying environmental crimes, while many social science approaches are hampered by insufficient anchoring in the current legal framework. Our Sociology of Law, Criminology and Justice (LJC) program takes a sociological approach to issues related to law and legal processes, crime and its causes and consequences, and punishment systems. Our courses critically examine the inner workings of institutions such as courts, prisons and human rights commissions, and work to understand how power and inequality influence definitions and operations of law, legality, crime and justice. Our program focuses on the use of social science research methods, including interviews, statistical analysis, survey research, ethnography, and historical and comparative analysis, to better understand these systems of social control. The Centre`s faculty research covers a wide range of topics and methodological approaches. Some professors work with large datasets to ask questions about criminal justice. Others work with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Others deal with social law research, which sometimes uses both legal papers and empirical research, but asks different questions than those usually asked in law schools.

His research focuses on European and international environmental law.
Prior to her academic career, she worked for major international law firms and the European Commission and acted as legal advisor to the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea (IMELS) in the framework of its bilateral cooperation in the Balkans. These approaches are seen as complementary rather than mutually exclusive, and we encourage students to pursue a variety of interests rather than specialize in one method or theory: unlike some graduate departments, our thesis committees are not necessarily composed of professors who share the same education or interests. Social law studies examine how different types of law (e.g., criminal, civil, administrative, regulatory) and other social regulatory mechanisms are used to prevent, manage, and sanction harmful behavior and ensure safety.

Towards a Theoretical and Empirical Program on Environmental Damage, Tiffany Bergin and Emanuela Orlando Sociological studies of law, criminology, and justice help develop new theories, methods, and empirical results. Through this program, you will learn a number of topics, including: The Law, Criminology, and Justice in Sociology program is more focused than the generalist sociology program and therefore offers a concentration of courses in this specialty area. Learn more about the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology of Law, Criminology and Justice or the Bachelor of Science in Sociology of Law, Criminology and Justice. The Centre`s faculty and students study crime, order and security from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and theoretical approaches, and actively participate in Canadian and international criminological research. A sociological approach to the study of crime and punishment examines the influence of social inequality as a cause of crime and how criminals and victims are treated by the criminal justice system. Students will learn about homelessness, the criminalization of women, restorative justice and Indigenous peoples. In addition, in their honor year, students have the opportunity for independent research with faculty members. This anthology represents an innovative attempt to overcome these limitations by combining legal and social perspectives. Together, the authors of the book develop an innovative approach to social law to respond more effectively to environmental damage and prevent it worldwide.
The book integrates theoretical and empirical work and presents carefully selected illustrations of how law and social sciences can be brought together to improve policy. The different chapters examine how a social law approach can ultimately lead to a more comprehensive understanding of environmental damage and innovative and effective responses to these environmental crimes. Many of our lawyers conduct this multidisciplinary research through the lens of the humanities, social sciences, politics, law and criminology. This study analyses the legal and judicial system from a sociological point of view. Our researchers often publish and participate in international social law societies and conferences.
