derived. Measurements The model allows for several different kinds of measurement along these dimensions. First, location: For example, any case (individual, group, etc.) can be located in vertical space by their wealth. Second, distance: For example, any two cases (individuals, organizations, etc.) can be measured according to their relative wealth. Third, direction: Law, for example, is more likely in a downward direction (from a wealthier case to a less wealthy one) than upward (the reverse). Black also cites examples – particularly in The Behavior of Law (1976) – which indicate movement through social space, such as a society becoming more stratified, or the status (and collective liability) of an ethnic group changing over time.
