Therefore, the social reaction to this phenomenon were permanent, but because of the diversity and different views of the problem, cultural and other features and differences of the same or a different community groups and organization. In such a social response, any method or means that they are implemented, the joint aspiration has always been how to eliminate violation. According to reaction, all those aspirations can be divided into three groups.Therefore, type of social responses are: punitive or repressive response, preventive and excessive reaction.These responses relate to each other or are parallel with different emphasis depending on social development, cultural and cognitive level of each community where the dominant reaction is the punitive one.
