The system of law and social control in an acephalous Maroon society in Surinam is described and the effectiveness of the system is evaluated. The main factors contributing to Matawai social control are identified and further use for such a framework of analysis is suggested. The position is taken that self-control is generally-speaking a more efficient means of social control than is external control
