“…For several years now, Aguiar has developed this systematic behavioral interpretation of law, which addresses most of the issues discussed in jurisprudence concerning the characteristics of law (cf. Aguiar, 2012Aguiar, , 2013Aguiar, , 2014Aguiar, , 2015Aguiar, , 2016Aguiar, , 2017Aguiar & Gobbo, 2016). In what follows, we will describe the major characteristic of this behavior-analytic approach to law, contrasting it, when appropriate, to more typical interpretations found in jurisprudence and to empirical findings stemming from diverse traditions that study law-related behavior (e.g., criminology, experimental economics) and illustrating its potential to generate areas of research and application.…”
