Although many criminological studies do not make explicit references to morality, judgements around 'right and wrong' are implicitly part of criminality. This paper seeks to articulate the moral justifications offered by offenders, and to contrast these to the behavioural codes of wider society. Offenders (n=75) involved in serious organised crime were interviewed in two regions (Glasgow and a county in the North of England), and findings indicate that offenders shared consensus around a) the 'morality of robbing', where some individuals are deserving of victimization, b) violence against women and children, which offenders believe as morally wrong, and c) race-based offences.
