Before English kings centralized power, offenses against persons and property that are crimes today were torts. That is, individuals had rights to restitution if pursuit and prosecution was successful. Policing was produced by local organizations called tithing, built on strong multidimensional mutually- beneficial reciprocal relationships and anyone who did not cooperate was ostracized by the group (Benson 1994, 1998). When the concept of crime first developed it was distinguished from a civil action by who got the money. Crimes meant fines or confiscations went to the king while civil actions (torts) meant compensation to victims.
