Document Summary
Hunting and gathering societies: strong collective solidarity. No such thing as theft at this particular time. Not possible to have perception of stealing" when it doesn"t exist. Failure to meet collective obligation = threat to whole community. No sense of independent self: need for self-restraint. Discouraged quarrelling for lifelong interactions with one another. **** needed these things in order to survive: circle sentencing in a way, blood feuds (kept in check), dispute settlements. Very different from adversarial system: no surplus or strati cation. Nomadic - always moving didn"t allow them to have tons of stuff. As societies change so do the ways we perceive crime and how we de ne it. Hunter / gatherer societies evolved through settling: causes people to become less dependant upon one another. Members can start having surplus of goods: private property / ownership emerges. Monday, january 23, 2017: structural inequality begins, less sharing more strati cation.
