Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gerald Turkel, in his book "Law and Society: Critical Approaches," does not equate public policy directly with Max Weber's concept of social consensus. Weber's idea of social consensus involves the general agreement or acceptance of norms and values within a society, which is a broader concept than public policy. Public policy specifically refers to government actions designed to address public issues or problems, which may or may not stem from a social consensus.
