In this case, the parties involved are the sociologist and the people in the urban slum. The moral issue at stake is whether the sociologist was wrong for not telling the police about the people within the slum community that are car thieves. The sociologist has gain access through her maintaining loyalty in order to receive the information she needs. The text does not state whether or not she actually has evidence in order to go to the police or was this mere hearsay. I would say that morally if she had evidence of a particular case then she may have been compelled to go to authorities but with Ethics of care there are no universal laws or truths and each scenario is based on particular situations in order to dictate the specific needs and/or interests of the individual(s) involved.
