Abstract

The differentiation of normative facts from non-normative ones, or legal norms from other social norms, of penal law from other legal rules provides the distinctive structure of criminology, that which denotes specific social data and establishes their significance for criminology.... But the major accomplishment is that Sociology of Law is unified by its ultimate reference to actual legal rules. Sociology of Criminal Law, is accordingly, that division of legal sociology which deals primarily with social phenomena relevant to the norms of penal law; hence Criminology, in this view, is synonymous with Sociology of Criminal Law.2
