Document Summary
Engage with foucault"s claim by drawing on the austin sarat reading in which one of his research subjects states, Law is all over. offer evidence from cases and examples raised in the course. Michael foucault"s quotes is stating that the punishment for crimes does not exist solely within juridical powers but that it also coexists within societal functions. Through giving the social body more power to regulate behaviour, punishment becomes more severe and widespread. In contemporary society, people are pressured to regulate their own behaviour because they are always being scrutinized by their peers and by strangers. As a result, the law exists in all places. In the article by sarat, he examines how the welfare poor interacts with the law. Sarat clarifies that the welfare poor is not a homogenous group whose legal consciousness and relationship to power are uniform, yet he draws several conclusions from his primary research with welfare recipients.
