Kohbergs

• The theory is based on how we develop moral thinking of the idea that right and wrong through a series of levels growing up
• At a preconvetional or pre moral level young people determine what is right and wrong through reward or punnishment
• Where as an adult understand of right and wrong involve the understanding of moral principles and values
• This suggested criminals have a lower level of moral understanding than everyone else
• They might solely look at their actions of right or wrong in terms of right and wrong and not how it effects other
