However, there are several other Social Science, like Ethics, Political Science, Soci-
ology, Psychology etc. Now, it is logical that these social science should be interlinked
with each other at some point.
Moreover, these social sciences could not studied in isolation. In other words, none
of these sciences can be understand with having a fair knowledge of others. Juris-
prudence, being a social science is, in fact, related with other social sciences.
Jurisprudence is the study of law and sociology is the study of society and it is also
discusses law but from a different stand-point. Therefore there is a link between jur-
isprudence and sociology.
Jurisprudence is concerned with legal rules that actually exists, however, sociology
is studying the effectiveness of those legal rules and their impacts on society.
Moreover, in a political society there exist rules for the regulation of human being
conduct which are the subject-matter of jurisprudence. Hence, there is a close con-
nection between the two.

criminal law the concept of mens rea is having immense importance. Therefore, jur-
isprudence and psychology both are closely inter-related human sciences.
Economics studies the production and distribution of wealth and law is responsible
for establishing a fair distribution of wealth through rules.
Moreover, studies show that economic factors are responsible for the increasing rate
of criminal activities, which again brings the two in close relation with each other.
