Preferred term
legal socialization
Definition
- Legal socialization is a research field on the processes whereby individuals, essentially from childhood until the end of adolescence, develop a system of cognitive representations, images, and attitudes about law. Although these change owing to experiences during adulthood, they never disappear; the early attitudes continue to underlie the way adults perceive and use law.
