I wonder what might happen in that instance? Would crime go down as communities took it upon themselves to meet out their own punishment, or would a new wave of cooperation exist?
Someone suggested recently that if we returned to friendly societies as opposed to the welfare state, there would be no abuse of the system. As every worker paid in a little every week to support themselves, or others, if they were unable to work, then abuse of the system was rare as one would be abusing ones neighbours and friends rather than a faceless government.
Might the game of cops and robbers thus be avoided if restrictions were relaxed.
