Detailed explanation-1: -Laws. A law is a norm that is formally inscribed at the state or federal level, and is enforced by police or the FBI. Laws exist because the violation of the norms of behavior they govern would typically result in injury or harm to another person, or are considered violations of the property rights of others.
Detailed explanation-2: -The four types of social norms are: folkways, mores, taboos, and laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -A formal norm is a norm that has been “codified and may be enforced by sanction” (Kendall 2006, 55–56). Generally, this means it is a norm that has been established by a group of people and set down into a clear set of rules. While laws are one example of formal norms, they are not the only examples.
