N2  - Much of what we could do, we shouldn't-and we don't. Mark Osiel shows that common morality-expressed as shame, outrage, and stigma-is society's first line of defense against transgressions. Social norms can be indefensible, but when they complement the law, they can save us from an alternative that is far worse: a repressive legal regime
