HUKUM SEBAGAI FENOMENA SOSIAL: ANALISIS SOSIOLOGIS TERHADAP REGULASI
Keywords:
law, social phenomenon, sociological analysis, regulationAbstract
Law is generally understood as a set of written norms created and enforced by the state to regulate social behavior. However, from a sociological perspective, law cannot be separated from the social context in which it is formed, implemented, and obeyed. This article aims to analyze law as a social phenomenon by positioning regulation as a product of social, political, economic, and cultural interactions. A sociological approach is employed to highlight how law functions not only as a mechanism of social control but also as a reflection of power relations and evolving social values. The research applies a qualitative method using a socio-legal approach through a literature review of theories in sociology of law and regulation. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of regulation is determined not only by its normative strength but also by the level of social acceptance, legal culture within society, and consistency in law enforcement. This article emphasizes that understanding law as a social phenomenon is essential to ensure that regulations effectively and fairly address societal needs while minimizing the gap between normative law and social reality.
