In small, tightly-knit societies like Mark's, social realignment often takes the form of shaming or otherwise publicly calling out unacceptable behavior. This serves to reinforce the shared values and norms of the community and discourage future deviance. Community service, probation, and juvenile detention are more likely to be used in modern, Western societies where individualism and formal legal systems are more dominant.
