Explore how ancient societies define crime, administer punishment, and maintain community order. This concise study examines the roots of law in preliterate cultures, showing how public and private offenses are handled, and how social sanctions bind groups together.

Across several examples, the work traces how chiefs, kin groups, and ritual practices regulate offenses, retaliation, and compensation. It contrasts approaches to public delicts with private ones and shows how modern legal concepts grow from these early systems. The author also discusses the role of ritual, ceremony, and exchange in justice, offering a framework for comparing different societies.

How public and private delicts are distinguished and processed

The role of chiefs and kinship in enforcing rules

Retaliation, indemnities, and the evolution of sanctions

A comparative method for understanding early law and social control

Ideal for readers of anthropology, sociology, and the history of law, this edition helps illuminate the foundations of legal systems in primitive societies.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of essays by a prominent anthropologist that delves into the intricate structure and function of primitive societies. It explores the evolution of the author's thought over 25 years, reflecting significant shifts in social anthropology during that period. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of global examples, the author investigates kinship systems, social sanctions, and the concept of function in social science. The text challenges conventional historical explanations of social institutions, advocating instead for a theoretical understanding based on the interconnectedness of social processes, structures, and functions. This book meticulously examines the dynamics of social systems, exploring concepts such as social evolution, adaptation, and the interplay between continuity and change. By dissecting the complexities of social life in diverse cultures, the author sheds light on the universal principles that underpin human societies, offering valuable insights into the intricate workings of social organization and cultural traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
