{"product_id":"9780198259503","title":"Uses of Discretion","description":"Discretion is a pervasive phenomenon in legal systems.  It is of concern to lawyers because it can be a force for justice or injustice:  at once a means of advancing the broad purposes of law and of subventing them.  For social scientists the discretion exercised by legal actors is an important form of decision-making behaviour, in which legal rules are merely one force in a field of pressures and constraints that push towards certain courses of action or inaction. This book presents a variety of analyses of legal discretion by lawyers and social scientists (drawn from both sides of the Atlantic), who have made discretion and its uses a central part of their scholarly concerns.","brand":"Keith Hawkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45741965672766,"sku":"9780198259503","price":4061.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780198259503.jpg?v=1707222446","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198259503","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
