The Appeal to Higher Loyalties is a concept in sociology and criminology that suggests individuals may commit acts that violate societal norms or laws because they prioritize loyalty to a group or cause over adherence to those norms. This could involve justifying unethical behavior by claiming allegiance to family, friends, or a specific ideology. It highlights the tension between personal values and societal expectations, illustrating how group loyalty can influence decision-making. Ultimately, it underscores the complexity of moral reasoning in social contexts.
