In a lawless society, it is likely that general agreement between large amounts of people as well as peer pressure would allow for law and order in a region without strictly defined legislation. People would make informal agreements on how their lives should be carried out, both individually and as a collective. As such, despite a clear structure, people could still agree to respect each other's decisions and make agreements.

In terms of punishment, it is unlikely that much action would be taken. The society would probably collectively agree to boycott those who do not particpate in society, for instance, by refusing to give them food or other commodities. Corporal (infliction of pain) and capital punishment (the death penalty) would also likely be employed in order to discourage disagreement with society.

While a lawless environment is theoretically possible and liveable, it is highly likely that this would never happen without external intervention such as a post-apocalyptic event, since the "established order" is so deeply entrenched in society. Even if a lawless society was to be established, it is likely that a set of laws would be eventually established as a result of formal agreements to conform with societal requirements.
