Language ability, on one hand and insistence, on the other required for recovering losses, extradition of perpetrators or restitution of goods to a murder victim, prevention policy, but alsofor punishment of the robbers made it difficult to conduct trading activities in the framework of "neighborly" relations. This principle was also invoked in solving criminal case. These are the objectives of the present research.
