How would Kohlberg's six stages of moral reasoning apply when deciding whether or not to turn a family memeber in for committing a crime?

A person's decision on whether to turn in the family
member or not would depend on where the person was in Kohlberg's six stages.  If the
person making the decision is an adult, we will assume that they are operating at either
level 5 or level 6.

If the person making the decision is at
level 5 of moral development, they will surely turn the family member in.  At level 5,
people tend to put more weight on the "social contract" and on obeying the laws.  They
do not think as much about more abstract ideas of
justice.

If, however, the person making the decision is at
level 6, they will have a much more difficult choice.  They will have to look at the
reasons behind the family member's actions.  They will have to try to decide if higher
goals (justice, human dignity, etc) are best served by turning the family member in or
by letting them get away with their crime.

Therefore, the
level the person has reached in Kohlberg's stages will have a great impact on his or her
actions in this hypothetical.
