The 19 articles in the 2007 edition of the relatively new annual series analyze research findings on the law's capacity to reduce inequality, the connection between collective memory and law, the control of gang behavior, and the effectiveness of restorative justice and correctional rehabilitation. The contributors survey the history of Islamic constitutionalism, assess changes in intellectual property rights, propose a sociology of information framework for surveillance studies, and consider how the recent emphasis on quantitative accountability has influenced law and legal practices.
