Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between sociology and law is that sociology is a discipline that studies society and institutions with a major focus on patterns of social relationships, human social behaviors & interactions. Whereas the law is a discipline, a profession that focuses on the custom, practices & rules of conduct that governs a community.

Explanation:

• Sociology is a generalizing science, it aims to find and study general principles about the nature, content, pattern, and structure of society. Laws have their specificity concerning the area and people they are governing, they differ from county to country, although they can be general if all the people belong to that area.

• Sociology is categorial not a normative discipline. As it does not make any recommendations on matters of legislation or social policy or program. It does not make judgments on the social issue, it only critically analyzes the social patterns, facts, and structure of society. It does not deal with the problem of right & wrong or god & evil or moral & immoral whereas Laws consist of norms, customs, and traditions, that are important to regulate the society and can justify right and wrong or moral & immoral based on specific criteria.

• Sociology is an abstract science, not a concrete science because it studies the pattern of everchanging society, their interactions, events, analyzing social phenomena, social control & conflicts. Whereas Law is a concrete discipline as all the rules and regulations are the same for everyone in that particular governed region or state or country. There must be a change in the laws along with societal changes and societal development that keeps happening.
