Re: how would criminal activity be dealt with in a stateless society?

I feel like this was touched upon in the AS thread, but I'm still not completely clear on it. In a stateless society, say these "sanctions" were imposed on the individual and he/she felt it was necessary to take violent means to get what they want, would it be allowable for a violent response to that individual?
[/ QUOTE ] Yes, responding violently to violence has to be acceptable.

Ok, I believe I agree with this then, because the threat of violence upon the criminal if he were to become violent would also act as a deterrant to this sort of behavior.
Hmmm, how do you see people with dangerous mental disorders being handled? Would you just have to let the person be until he did some sort of harm or would there be some sort of social mechanism in place to determine that the person was a threat and needed to be placed in some sort of care facility?
