According to Muir’s policing model, Passion and Perspective include
Passion: Represents a moral virtue, which consists of a firm conviction that achievement of specific just ends is so important to justify morally dangerous, coercive or violent means to achieve them (Morash & Ford, 2002). For example, watching out for one’s partner first and then the rest of the people. In this instance, one party in the relationship tries to control the behavior of others through threats to hurt them or things they care about.
Perspective: Represents an intellectual virtue – serves as a counter-balance to passion – the ability to see the “big picture” – to keep everything in perspective – the ability to see things in their actual relationships, to understand the nature of human suffering fully (Morash & Ford, 2002). For example, exists whenever a threat is made by the victimizer committing him/her to injure the hostage unless the victim will pay a ransom .

In relation to passion and perspective are enforcers and reciprocators. For enforcers, both passion and perspective grasp the nature of human suffering while at the same time willing to resort to foul means to achieve a right end under “justifiable” conditions (Morash & Ford, 2002). However, for reciprocators, perspective without passion fails to reconcile morally the use of violent means to achieve just ends. Therefore, the less the victim cares about preserving something, the less the victimizer cares about taking it hostage (Morash & Ford, 2002). Additionally, the more delirious the threatener, the more serious the threat; the more delirious the victim, the less serious the threat.
