Impact of social legislation on social change

Impact of social legislation on social change - Calcutta Minerva Associates 1971 - 261p.
In the proposal for this study it was pointed out: "Legislation is a partial or incomplete agency of social change in the sense that it only creates new situations or provides for change with desired direction, but does not, in its comprehensive sense, ensure the process of change which includes awareness, knowledge and acceptance." Detailed arguments are not needed to show that ultimate change in terms of modes of behaviour also subsumes intervening attitudinal changes. One of the major aims of this study was to examine the impact of communicational factors on this sequential process of change at the background of which social legislation may contribute to the basic dynamic forces responsible for the changes.
