The cloak covers without bias

o Neutralization Theory. Criminals rationalize actions by neutralizing the definitions of crime.
o 5 major types of neutralization:
+ Denial Of Responsibility: Propelled helplessly into crime.
+ Denial Of Injury: Crime does not hurt anyone, not morally wrong.
+ Denial Of The Victim: Victim did not receive injury but rather, rightful force.
+ Condemnation Of The Condemners: Condemners are hypocrites, deviants as well.
+ Appeal To Higher Loyalties: Loyalty to a higher power than law, like friendship.

The problem with these rationalizations is that they protect indiscriminately, the correct and the incorrect.
