 Albanian families tend to feel obliged to take personal matters into their own hands as the trust for the judicial system is rather low.The first traces of criminality being handled within in a system of codes, in the present day area of Albania, was in the 15th-century where the Kanun law was practiced amongst Albanian mountaineers.Although primitive, the system worked well, was often fast, cheap and left few crimes unsolved, in comparison with other European counterparts.
