  1. "Damages, that is, property payment in lieu of other sanctions . . . [are] a necessary but not sufficient condition for mediation" (165, 166)Schwartz, Richard D. - Legal evolution and societal complexity, 1964 - 2 Variables

    This study explores the relationship between level of legal evolution (measured on a Guttman scale that ranges from just mediation to counsel, police, and mediation) and level of societal complexity. Results suggest a significant association between level of legal evolution and level of societal complexity.

  2. "Elements of legal organization emerge in a sequence such that each constitutes a necessary condition for the next." The Guttman scale shows mediation at the first evolutionary level, police and mediation at the intermediate level, and counsel, police and mediation at the highest level. The simplest societies have none of these traits (160, 161, 163)Schwartz, Richard D. - Legal evolution and societal complexity, 1964 - 4 Variables

    This study explores the relationship between level of legal evolution (measured on a Guttman scale that ranges from just mediation to counsel, police, and mediation) and level of societal complexity. Results suggest a significant association between level of legal evolution and level of societal complexity.

  3. "The higher the level of political centralization, the higher the degree of military sophistication" (75)Otterbein, Keith F. - The evolution of war: a cross-cultural study, 1970 - 2 Variables

    This book investigates the evolution of military organizations and their activities. Hypotheses frequently relate military organizations to political variables. Data suggested that more politically centralized societies have more sophisticated military organizations which are more likely to be successful in conflict (though military sophistication does not appear to deter attack).

  5. "The higher the degree of military sophistication, the higher the casualty rates" (82)Otterbein, Keith F. - The evolution of war: a cross-cultural study, 1970 - 2 Variables

    This book investigates the evolution of military organizations and their activities. Hypotheses frequently relate military organizations to political variables.

  6. A four level Guttman scale of legal evolution from highest to lowest level is posited: counsel, police, courts and mediation. Courts form an intermediate stage after mediation and prior to the appearance of police (79)Wimberly, Howard - Legal evolution: one further step, 1973 - 4 Variables

    "In an earlier study of the evolution of elements of legal organization, a Guttman scale was developed having as scale steps (elements of legal organization) counsel, police, and mediation. In this study, one further step, that of courts, is discussed, and a new Guttman scale for legal evolution presented."
