Taking Candy From A Baby

Obviously criminals have done something that isnt right, although it has to be said that what they have done is a little more then just 'socially unacceptable'. The mojority of the time, criminal activity is also consider as moral mis-conduct, for example stealing or murder are seen by the majority to be morally wrong, aswell as against the law.

However are there some cases where morally unacceptable behaviour can be acceptable? In some cases I think it can be. If we take stealing for example, what if a woman stole food from a shop to feed her young family, her childrens father has left her and she cannot get a job because she didn't get very good qualifiactions at school. Some people may still see this as wrong, but have sympathy for her because she obviously has no other choice.



However, taking stealing again, if someone takes a CD or DVD from a shop just because they want it, and they think it's too overpriced to actually buy (even though they have the money) is a completely different situation and is wrong.
