Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2012-13

Uno de los elementos necesarios para un conocimiento completo de la sociedad es el Derecho. Las relaciones entre Derecho y sociedad son, por tanto, fundamentales, en la medida en que el Derecho es tanto un instrumento del cambio social como un receptor de los cambios sociales. Por otra parte, el Derecho tiene una triple dimensión: como norma, como valor y como hecho. La sociología del Derecho estudia el Derecho como hecho, centrando la atención en la eficacia de sus normas y en las funciones sociales del Derecho, como el control social. Se trata de una asignatura multidisciplinar que se ajusta al carácter insterdisciplinar del criminológo, permitiéndole una aproximación a los puntos de contacto entre el Derecho y la sociedad.
