I think it was in Hammurabi's Code of Laws, thus it was the Babylonians.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammurabi
The first people to allow their citizens to prosecute an offender in the name of an injured party were the:
A. Babylonians
B. Sumerians
C. Romans
D. Greeks
By book mentions that both Babylonians and Sumerians followed "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" doctrine.
I am confused on this one.
