Nobody's Law: Legal Consciousness and Legal Alienation in Everyday Life

The first book to examine the erosion of legal legitimacy in everyday life. Unlike previous studies on legal consciousness, it does not illustrate the 'hegemony' of law but rather the 'progressive divorce of law from the consciousness of citizens'. Also, building on previous studies, this study will introduce the concept of 'legal alienation'.
