gap problem  

Definition(s)

  • For a period in the 1960s and 1970s, the “gap problem” was “the central issue for studies about law” (Abel 1973: 189). There are two distinct angles on the gap problem, one focused exclusively on law, and the second comparing law with society. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Gap Problem]
