The theme of this collection of articles is the social organization of criminal courts. The subject is divided into three levels: the macro-level involving external economic political and social forces; the meso-level consisting of formal structures informal cultural norms and supporting agencies in an interlocking organizational network and the micro-level consisting of interactional orders that emerge from the social discourses and categorizations in multiple layers of bargaining and negotiation processes. The introduction ties these levels together relating them to a Weberian sociology of law.
