Chapter 7 of Ellickson's book breaks down and defines different types of norms and explains why an interdisciplinary approach is crucial to understanding the system of social control.
The Five types of norms (rules) are
1. substantive- at the core of the system, govern primary behaviors.
2. remedial- self governing laws meant to remedy a harm done or prevent one from happening.
3. procedural- govern weight and quality of evidence needed to constitute a valid complaint of wrongdoing.
4. constitutive- govern internal structures of control, the rules of the rules.
5. controller-selecting- dictate the division of social control labor, coordinate social control domains.
Ellickson describes the five controllers that make rules and administer sanctions
1. first party- self control/discipline
2. second party- contracts, promises
3. third party- social forces, norms
4. organizational- official rules of an organization not of the government but still sometimes punishable by law
5. government- actual law, state enforced
These rules and controllers can only be fully understood in the context of how they actually operate with one another and in society through a multi-disciplinary approach which includes psychology, economics, sociology, political science, organizational theory, and law.
