Papua New Guinea's two most powerful legal orders - customary law
and state law -undermine one another in criminal matters. This
phenomenon, called legal dissonance, partly explains the low level
of personal security found in many parts of the country. This book
demonstrates that a lack of coordination in the punishing of wrong
behavior is both problematic for legal orders themselves and for
those who are subject to such legal phenomena Legal dissonance can
lead to behavior being simultaneously promoted by one legal order
and punished by the other, leading to injustice, and, perhaps more
importantly, undermining the ability of both legal orders to deter
wrongdoing.
