That's hard to find in a colony of a few hundred people, all gathered together for warmth. Everyone knows everyone else.
> harsh penalties when evidence finds someone guilty
And that's another rough one in a small community where everyone's involvement is ideally needed. (I'm assuming the penalties would harm the workforce.)
If these things are necessary in a system, it would also suggest that small towns are inherently rape-y-er than large urban areas. Is that the case?
- toomuchtodo 3y agoCan’t say small towns are more rapey per se, but they’re definitely more corrupt because of the tribalism and lack of controls that exist in larger population systems. The corrupt police raid of the Marion County Recorder comes to mind as a recent reminder of this effect. https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/public_integrity/79/ https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/public_integrity/79/
