Abstract
Aggression has been studied from several vantage points: the behavioral, the somatic, the social, the cultural and the experiential. Each of these vantage points dictates a different method of interfering with or ‘doing something about’ aggression. Each can be ‘corrected’: by behavior control, by surgery or drugs, by altering the social system, by changing cultural values and by reconstructing the interpretation of experience. Law can be seen as a cultural device for turning a social dyad into a triad in order to ‘solve’ a conflict at the same time that it reinstitutionalizes some cultural norms of basic social institutions in a legal context. All of the various vantage points must be recognized as law is reinstitutionalized from the primary institutions of society.
