Abstract
Upendra Baxi discusses a debate over Durkheim's theory that societies with complex divisions of labor rely on restitutive rather than repressive sanctions. It notes that Schwartz and Miller's study questioned this claim but was later mistakenly treated as a full "refutation." Baxi's piece aims to show their findings don't actually invalidate Durkheim's thesis. Published in Law & Society Review , Volume 8 , Issue 4 , Summer 1974 , pp. 645 - 651
