Effects of Causes and Causes of Effects: Some Remarks From the Sociological Side.

Herbert L Smith1.   

Abstract

Sociology is pluralist in subject matter, theory, and method, and thus a good place to entertain ideas about causation associated with their use under the law. I focus on two themes of their article: (1) the legal lens on causation that "considers populations in order to make statements about individuals" and (2) the importance of distinguishing between effects of causes and causes of effects.

Keywords:  causal inference; causes; effects; potential outcomes; probability of cause
