 Putting the narrowness issue aside, two questions remain. The first is whether it is constructive for the sort of community that Duff strives to preserve to condemn wrongdoers. As Lacey and Pickard (2015a) put it, stigmatizing offenders with condemnation alienates them from society (and they are likely alienated already) and undermines their potential to see themselves as eventually redeemed. To this worry, Duff may be able to respond that the form of condemnation he has in mind is nothing more than treating wrongdoers as responsible for their criminal acts.
