Chapter 7

Community-based Systems of Justice

Introduction

This chapter examines the light that is shed upon traditional, informal community-based systems for the maintenance of social order and peace by the existing anthropological and criminological literature. Later chapters will analyse the reintegrative and restorative implications of these ideas and how, together, they provide a theoretical context for the phenomenon that is the Parish Hall System.

The chapter is divided into four parts: the first defines and describes features of traditional justice; the second part considers the role of informal justice in encouraging collective responsibility; the third part refers to the recent preponderance of community justice themes in the literature, particularly prevalent in North America. Finally, there is a brief discussion about the feasibility of incorporating informal mechanisms for the administration of justice within the formal state systems.
