Law and morality are separate. Laws
should not enforce personal morality
unless harm is caused to others.
influence law but should
not be directly enforced. People
should be free to make personal
choices as long as they don't harm
others
Follows the Harm Principle (John
Stuart Mill). Only actions that harm
others should be criminalized.
Supports decriminalization of
homosexuality, arguing that private
actions shouldn't be a matter for the
law unless they harm others,
Patrick Devlin
Law should enforce societal
morality to maintain social |
‘cohesion and prevent moral
breakdown,
1ws should regulate personal
behavior if it violates societal |
moral standards, even if there's no
harm to others.
Believes society's moral order |
should be preserved by law. A
moral society needs laws that
protect its values.
‘Opposes decriminalization of
homosexuality, arguing that laws |

preserve societal values.
Freedom ys.
Control
Emphasizes individual freedom and
personal autonomy, limiting legal
interference in private lives.
Believes that laws should regulate |
behavior for the good of the
community, even if it limits
individual freedoms.
View on Social
Moralit
Society's collective moral views
should not dictate the law; laws
should be neutral and protect
and the law should reflect and.
enforce them to prevent social
individual rights.
CASE LAWS
