It puts forward practical methods for evaluating the effectiveness of laws, arguing in favour of a new approach grounded in the principles of Evidential Pluralism, a philosophical theory of causal enquiry. Using worked examples, these methods are presented in a clear, step-by-step way, offering a framework that balances both empirical and normative considerations and has the potential to lead to more effective laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Philosophical Foundations for Evidence-Based Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e will appeal to scholars, students and practitioners of law, philosophy of law and public policy, as well as researchers in the health and social sciences and philosophy of science and epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandra Trofimov \u003c\/b\u003eis a lecturer at Kent Law School, University of Kent, The London and South East University Group, UK.
