"Crime and Custom in Savage Society" is a notable anthropological work authored by Bronisław Malinowski. Published in 1926, the book explores the relationship between crime and societal norms in primitive or "savage" societies. Malinowski draws on his extensive fieldwork, focusing on the Trobriand Islanders, to analyze the function of customs and rituals in regulating behavior and maintaining social order. Delving into the role of crime as a cultural phenomenon, Malinowski's work challenges Western perspectives on justice and morality. The book contributes to the understanding of the complexities of legal systems in non-Western societies and remains influential in the field of anthropology.
