statutory norm

Under the da Varano Santa Anatolia maintained a certain autonomy: the first collection of statutory norms dates from 1324.

For until very recently the police made no concession to black street culture, but instead rigidly interpreted and ruthlessly enforced statutory norms of public order, first through the notorious 'Sus' law (abolished after a long campaign by black and civil liberties groups) and then through routine powers of search and arrest.
