Society, though diverse, shares the same or most of a moral value system. This society as a whole develops a moral system that criminalizes or stigmatizes any action deemed harmful to society.

Question

a
Conflict model
b
Consensus model
c
Due Process model
d
Crime Control model

Answer 1

The description you provided aligns with the Consensus model (option b). This model suggests that a society as a whole agrees on a set of moral values and norms, which are then reflected in the laws that criminalize actions considered harmful to that society. In contrast, the Conflict model would suggest that societal values are not shared uniformly and that laws reflect the interests of powerful groups rather than a collective agreement.
