Evidence

An extreme case was the community on Tristan da Cunha, a lonely, isolated, barren spot of land in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean.

There were none of the trappings of criminal justice—​no police, courts, judges, or jails. Nobody needed them. — Lawrence M. Friedman and Grant M. Hayden, American Law, 173
