He argued that coercion was necessary; This crime could not be crushed in Ireland, but by the strong arm of the law. Informal social control involves loosely organized forms of «daily social interaction» ranging from condemnation to praise, pronounced by every member of a society (Anleu 1995). [lvii] Formal control tends to use coercion by police, etc. to demand retaliation after deviant behavior has taken place, through arrest, imprisonment, and punishment, while informal social control is often used in advance as a means of «manipulating this [deviant] election» (Marx 2007, p. 51). [lviii] Van der Rjit goes further by suggesting that it is not «problematic» for the state to use force to force its citizens to obey the law, because the state simply forces citizens to do what they should already be doing; Follow moral commandments not to kill, not to steal, to always pay taxes and so on (Van der Rjit 2012, p. 28). [xxi] Here, however, Rjit avoids the central question of whether the coercion used by the state itself constitutes a violation of moral norms, whether the state itself does not respect its own moral principles when it uses violence against its citizens, when the state`s own laws prevent precisely this form of violence. The «inevitability» of the use of force by the state is an explicit double standard of tolerance of violence over severity and terror that political theorists such as Rjit, Hobbes, Weber, etc.
with the use of violence by individuals or the violent upheavals caused by social anarchy. This is the central hypocrisy in the force of law argument, where states are seen as somehow above morality, law, and ethics because of their implicit political legitimacy. What we do know is that our ordinary criminal justice system, with its due process and non-coercive power, leads to convictions where torture is not. Food in Nigeria has long been used as a weapon, held back and used by those in power as a means of corruption and coercion. Political leaders talk about United Nations resolutions, unilateralism, multilateralism, weapons inspectors, coercion and non-coercion. This kind of state coercion of speaking and acting seems to suit the freedom-conservative crowd. Therefore, if the law together assumes that she acted under duress, he must be the victim while she escapes. In hindsight, this was probably a mistake because it opened the door to legitimate accusations of federal coercion.
In medieval Iceland in the 900s, there was no police, army, or navy to enforce «court» orders, but there was still a centralized arbitration system with complicated rules and ordinances that could still be considered «law» (Hadfield and Weingeist 2013). [xlv] The judgments of the informal courts were not enforced by central coercion, but left in the hands of the successful plaintiff (Hadfield and Weingeist 2013, pp. 19-20). [xlvi] Of course, this system had its own power, with the convicted defendant often being killed «like Cain, without. any liability» (Hadfield and Weingeist 2013, pp. 19-20). [xlvii] For relevant purposes, however, medieval Icelandic society had a centralized system that lacked coercive arms of government—something often described as impossible in political theory. Social morality exists even where such morality should logically not exist, when coercion is the only determinant of social obedience. There are no police officers on golf courses, for example, but most golfers will follow the rules and standards of their golf clubs (Barzel 2002, p. 57).
[lxiii] Civic groups in sports and other social groups like these are «strong in etiquette» but weak in enforcement, but tend to have to «punish» members by expulsion only «occasionally.» [lxiv] It is difficult to prove that all golfers simply adhere to social etiquette because of the social norms of their respective golf clubs and not because of their broader connection to a society that has a coercive penal system, police and so on. However, it appears that most children and adults who internalize a society`s norms and values are simply «less likely to break the law.» [lxv] People are raised to be good citizens, it seems, and even if all police forces were abolished tomorrow, there is no explicit guarantee that all golfers will become violent criminals overnight, although a Hobbesian fear suggests so.
