Social control entails rules of behavior that should be followed by the members of a society. Some of the rules of conduct fall into the realm of good manners as the culture defines them. As such they describe behavior that is socially desirable but not necessarily compulsory. Other rules of conduct are not optional and are enforced by laws. In complex, large-scale societies, laws are usually written down formally so that they can be known clearly to everyone. This is not the case with laws in small-scale societies such as those of foragers, pastoralists, and horticulturalists. Their laws commonly are much more informal, being rarely written down. Since they are part of the evolving oral tradition that is familiar to members of these societies, there is no need to explain them to anyone. However, people visiting from other societies are not likely to know what the laws are until there is a dispute.
How laws come about varies. In small-scale societies, they usually evolve over time and are part of the cultural tradition. These are referred to as common laws. In large-scale societies, many laws derive from old common laws that are now formalized by being written down in penal codes. Other laws in these complex societies do not evolve organically but are created by enactment in legislatures or by rulers. These may or may not be codifications of existing social norms. Those laws that parallel the existing norms usually are more likely to be accepted and followed without coercion.
It is not uncommon for some laws to be confusing because they are inconsistent or open to interpretation in different situations. Murder laws in the United States provide an example. Killing another individual is considered to be a serious crime except when it is done in self-defense or in battle during a war. When it is defined as a crime, there can be mitigating circumstances that lessen the seriousness of the crime. U.S. state legal codes commonly make a distinction between murder in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree. In addition there can be 1st and 2nd degree manslaughter. The age and mental state of the killer are often also extenuating circumstances. Some states consider advising or aiding in suicide as being a crime. Killing certain classes of people, such as law enforcement officers, often calls for a harsher sentence as does murder with a gun in the act of committing another crime. The killing of a pregnant woman is considered murder, but the simultaneous killing of her unborn child is not necessarily murder. This is because American society today is divided on the understanding of when human life legally begins.
