A CRITICAL ANALYSIS: INTERPLAY BETWEEN LAW AND PSYCHOLOGY
Downloads
Abstract
“The profession of law and psychology share little regarding how they conceptualize their subject matter – people”. Multiple opinions which tend to disagree with this statement would come forth, suggesting that psychology’s goal is to understand behaviour and law’s goal to regulate it, with both fields making assumptions about what causes people to act the way they do. The causes and motivations of behaviour are central to both, and nevertheless, the two professions are essentially split by the way they construe human nature, and this often causes tension between the two disciplines.
Law in its working throughout the world is constructed and implemented on the idea of the psychologically desired “ideal society”. The main motive of Law is to establish an ideal Society and then implement the rules and regulations and then safeguard it, which is done by the three major wings of the State. The Legislation frames the Law as in accordance with the need of the Society. One such example, which is glorified in the History of India is the Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987, wherein the Legislation took a step forward towards enabling a better society for the citizens of the country.
