Document Summary
The authors look at due process and crime control model in different ways. They take packer"s concept and extend itthe family law. This is the sociological understanding of crime and criminal justice. ^-they introduce this concept of love; parents love their teach and seek to teach their child. They do not engage in morally repugnant behaviour. Punishment inside the family occurs within a framework of forgiveness because the parent and the child still live with each other. People cannot just excuse themselves from their parental obligations (being taken from them by the state is an exception) If you cannot imagine a state of affairs in which a child does something so bad that they cannot be forgiven, it would have to be pretty extreme. Parents of serious offenders still seek for their child to be rehabilitated and fulfill their duties as parents.
