Classic e%amples include the early 5oman gentles, .frican and *iddle "astern tribes, and 6uritan settlements in 'orth .merica !with the Salem 7with trials8$. &rban4commercial societies, which rely on trade as the essence of their market system. .n urban4commercial society has civil law !some standards and customs are written down$, specialized police forces !some for religious offenses,

others for enforcing the 9ing s /aw$, and punishment is inconsistent, sometimes harsh, sometimes lenient. *ost of Continental "urope developed along this path. &rban4industrial societies, which produce which produce most of the goods and services they need without government interference. .n urban4industrial society not only has codified laws !statutes that prohibit$ but laws that prescribes good behavior, police become specialized in how to handle property crimes, and the system of punishment is run on market principles of creating incentives and disincentives. "ngland and the &.S. followed this positive legal path. :ureaucratic societies are modern post4industrial societies where the emphasis is upon techni;ue or the 7technologizing8 of everything, with the government. . bureaucratic society has a system of laws !along with armies of lawyers$, police who tend to keep busy handling political crime and terrorism, and a system of punishment characterized by over criminalization and overcrowding. ,he &.S. and perhaps only eight other nations fit the bureaucratic pattern.

elitist in civil law systems, as opposed to the more democratic common law countries where just about anybody can get into law school. 5omano43ermanic systems are founded on the basis of natural law, which is a respect for traditional and custom. ,he sovereigns, or leaders, of a civil law system are considered above the law, as opposed to the common law notion that nobody is above the law. Socialist Systems ,hese are also known as *ar%ist4/eninist justice, and e%ist in many places, such as .frica and .sia, where there has been a Communist revolution or the remnants of one. ,hey are distinguished by procedures designed to rehabilitate or retrain people into fulfilling their responsibilities to the state.
