Veronica caught her neighbor stealing her purse. the neighbor confessed that she didn't have enough money to pay her rent and bills. even though veronica sympathized with her neighbor, she filed a complaint against her because she wanted to follow the law. according to kohlberg's stages of moral development, she is most likely in the stage of moral development.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to Kohlberg's stages of moral development, she is most likely in the Law-and-Order Orientation stage of moral development, in Level 2, Conventional.

This is Level 2, Convengtionlal, stage number 4 called Law-and-Order Orientation stage. The author says that during this stage of moral development, the individual does what it is supposed to be right. In this stage, rules have to be applied equally to everybody. This is the way for a society to work and correctly function. That is why Veronica -although she sympathized with her neighbor- filed a complaint against her because she wanted to follow the law and do what is right. The name of the sociologist who developed this theory was Lawrence Kohlberg.

good question. i'll be looking into that. (this is a joke sir)
