Project Description
This project aims to document diversity in how people approached human relations. To be more precise, it seeks to document diversity in terms of control over human behavior. We will dig deeper into how different people, groups, and societies think about what constitutes wrong and right, what they define as crime, and what they see as inappropriate, shameful, desired, and required. No less importantly, we will try to figure out what they do when those norms are breached. We will primarily work with secondary sources. However, it is possible, under certain circumstances, that we might engage in some empirical work as well.
