AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Based on structured interviews, researchers examined Atayal customary laws and moral ethics, and analyzed them in context of four types of justice: restorative, reparatory, retaliatory and retributive. It was found that the Atayal justice model is mostly restorative and reparative, much less so retaliatory, and never retributive. The authors further discuss the roles played by family and clan members, as well as by supernatural beings, in mediating conflicts.
