I heard it said that sociology isn't a science because it makes theories that can't be falsified or that sociologists make unscientific claims.
I personally don't understand this. Questions like "is drug-addiction more prevalent among certain ethic groups?" or "Are there gender bias in hiring in banks?" are certainly things that can be tested and falsified.
And how would the anti-sociology say how we should know things about human behavior, cultures, institutions, ect?
