Well damn, I really appreciate the comment. Your books have been such an inspiration to me but I still haven’t read Legal SystemsVery Different from Ours yet. It’s been a while since I’ve looked into non-government law enforcement and the essay above wasn’t intended to be a comprehensive primer on the topic; rather it was focused on my own trajectory and how I changed my mind on a relatively narrow slice. Thanks again for the link, and for everything you do!
For real world examples of law enforcement without government police you might want to look at my book Legal Systems Very Different from Ours. A late draft is webbed:

It is a very well written, insightful book. Most of the chapters can stand alone. For what it is worth, I think it is David’s best book.
