Inter-group violence has often been seen as an inevitable characteristic of the postcolonial predicament, a view ignores the crucial historical role played by colonial powers in establishing criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies for colonized peoples. This research analyzes the intersection of criminal justice, violence and dispute resolution on the Ionian Islands during the period in which they were part of the British Empire. Analysis of archival records is undertaken to clarify how colonial officials responded to violence. It is hypothesized that indigenous codes of conduct, including socially-sanctioned violence, shaped the actual application of the law in ways that transformed both the role of the law and the role of government in local affairs. The study will contribute to a better understanding of violence and dispute resolution in colonial contexts through historically-informed analysis.

群体间暴力往往被视为后殖民困境的一个不可避免的特征，这种观点忽视了殖民国家在为殖民地人民建立刑事司法制度和执法机构方面发挥的关键历史作用。本研究分析了在他们是大英帝国的一部分期间，爱奥尼亚群岛的刑事司法，暴力和争端解决的交叉点。对档案记录进行分析，以澄清殖民地官员如何应对暴力。 据推测，土著人的行为守则，包括社会认可的暴力行为，影响了法律的实际适用，改变了法律的作用和政府在地方事务中的作用。这项研究将有助于更好地了解暴力和解决争端的殖民地背景下，通过历史上知情的分析。
