According to Thorsten Sellin, criminal norms are found in law; immoral norms can clash directly with them.

Culture Conflict Theory

This theory was put forward by Thorsten Sellin, in his book Culture Conflict and Crime (1938). The main focus of this theory refers to the basic criminal norms and patterns of thought/attitude. Thorsten Sellin agreed that the purpose of norms governs human life every day.

Norms are rules that reflect the attitudes of one group to another. Consequently, each group has norms and every norm in every other group allows for conflict. Each individual may agree that he/she acts as a villain through the norm agreed to by the group if the norm of the group is contrary to the dominant norm in society. Agreement on this rationalization is the most important part to distinguish between the criminal and non-criminal where one respects the differences in the will/nature of norms.

Very contrary to criminal norms, moral norms are rules of life that originate from human conscience. This norm determines what is good and what is bad. Ethical norms encourage people to do good and prevent people from doing bad things because they are against normal human conscience.

Examples of moral norms:

sanctions obtained if it violates this moral norm that is the human feeling that the consequences will lead to regret.
