The chapter explores how legal culture and popular culture influence each other. It shows how legal norms can shape popular culture and vice versa. The researchers also look at examples of popular legal culture. They argue that the boundary between law and society is not rigid but allows for a flow of ideas and influences. Social theories are useful for understanding these interactions and are not limited to behaviorism.
