What three analytical perspectives an law and social order are described in the chapter?

1. Structural Functionalism: Views law as a part of social structure, serving critical functions; promotes conformity, stability, and social cohesion while also facilitating social change and innovation.

2. Conflict Theory: Sees law as a tool of social control, used by dominant groups to maintain to oppress subordinate groups; suggests that law reflects and reinforces existing inequalities and power dynamics.

3. Symbolic Interactionism: Focuses on the individual's interpretation and interaction with the law; considers how meanings and symbols shape legal behavior, and how people negotiate and contest the boundaries of law in society.
