Law, Justice and Society chapter 13

What is a band? To me at first I thought that a band was just a bunch of people playing music together and then I thought to myself why would that kind of band would be in my law book. So a band is like a tribe but in a band there is a fewer families living together and there is more of equality together. Sometimes bands and tribes solve their conflicts by revenge killings which are if someone from another tribe or band kill someone in their band or tribe then they go and kill someone in the other band or tribe. That goes back and forth until the entire band or tribe is killed off. The revenge killings are feared because there is a chance of killing everyone in the band or the tribe so they figure out different ways to deal with conflict. Tribes don't have written laws but they have a tribal council which decides how to deal with the crime that has been committed. Socialist law was originated in the Russian revolution and the establishment of the Union of Socialist Republic (USSR). The point of this law was to get rid of law. They believed that if everyone had the same opportunity to do things there would be no point to break the rules. In the socialist law they believed in believing that the criminal is guilty but they should have someone fight for them in court. Common law was originated in New English and it is common to everyone. The United states uses common law. Common law believed that the criminal should have someone fight for them in court. Civil law is the exact opposite of common law. In civil law the criminal is suspected to be guilty but everyone comes together to solve the problem and to find out if the criminal if guilty or not. The Islamic law cam from the Coran and its natural law. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82WCJ3DAh1g There is a lot of different laws in the world. Every country thinks that their law is best and that everyone else is wrong.
