Dead Links

There are at least a couple of dead links in this article. They need to be re-sourced in order to provide adequate documentation for the assertions they support. Zminer (talk) 20:50, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The theory references are still dead links almost two years on — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.224.131 (talk) 23:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of techniques

The unsourced items at the bottom half ot neturalization techniques are restatements of the existing categories, and I propose they be removed. "Dispersment of blame" is a method of "denial of responsibility"; "Dehumanisation of victim" is "Denial of the Victim" (where the offender asserts the victim deserved the act), and "Misrepresentation of consequences" is a restatement of "Denial of Injury". The first five categories (which are sourced) are used prominently in academic literature (I could provide many citations as examples); these last three are simply examples, and should be removed as categories. (Also note, the paragraph following the list says "These five ...." TAGregory (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone else think that it should be said on the page that the concept is far too overly-simplistic for modern objective and rational thought? Perhaps the people who proposed this concept would feel guilt from going a couple miles over the speed limit but certainly not everyone does. If I am missing the point or something please tell me. This concept seems to say nothing about the idea of "right and wrong" as being a subjective matter, and it seems rather flawed to say the least.

External links modified

I have just added archive links to one external link on Techniques of neutralization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
