They're very obvious survival strategies necessary for any social species. It's a pretty simple mental exercise to envision a society that allows murder, rape, or theft. Nobody gets ahead because they're being murdered, raped, and stolen from as quickly as they murder, rape, and steal. It's a negative sum game where everybody has to sleep with one eye open.
