And yet Athens was a remarkably peaceful and well-ordered society by both ancient and contemporary standards. Why? Law and Order in Ancient Athens draws on contemporary legal scholarship to explore how order was maintained in Athens. Lanni argues that law and formal legal institutions played a greater role in maintaining order than is generally acknowledged. The legal system did encourage compliance with law, but not through the familiar deterrence mechanism of imposing sanctions for violating statutes. Lanni shows how formal institutions facilitated the operation of informal social control in a society that was too large and diverse to be characterized as a 'face-to-face community' or 'close-knit group'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-221) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: the puzzle of Athenian order -- Informal social control and its limits -- Law enforcement and its limits -- The expressive effect of statutes -- Enforcing norms in court -- Court argument and the shaping of norms -- Transitional justice in Athens: law, courts, norms. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of (Greek law) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85071127 650 0 $a Judicial process $z Athens $z Athens $x History. 650 0 $a Courts $z Athens $z Athens $x History. 650 7 $a Courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881747 650 7 $a Judicial process. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984705 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of (Greek law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985212 651 7 $a Greece $z Athens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204474 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220023547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20934AC0E55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
