The presented study examined dynamics and perceptions among family members of ideologues lawbreaking animal rights activists. In the course of the study, parents and spouses of activists were interviewed, and its findings highlighted a number of key themes: glorification of the activist, an envy directed toward elements of the activism; personal gain acquired by virtue of the relationship, as well as self-discovery which family members experienced by their exposure to activism. By using Maruna's "redemption script" (2001), the study presents the manner by which perception of an activist as an idealist, leads his family members to construct a new narrative that qualifies transgressions based on ideology. The redemption script turns out to be bidirectional. Thus, while Maruna presented it as an aid for desisting delinquency, the study indicates that as far as it concerns breaking the law in favor of animals, it can mobilize family members to support all shades of activism.
本研究考察了意识形态激进的动物权利活动家的家庭成员之间的动态和看法。在研究过程中，对活动家的父母和配偶进行了采访，其研究结果强调了一些关键主题：对激进主义者的美化，对激进主义的某些元素的嫉妒；通过这种关系获得的个人利益，以及家庭成员通过接触激进主义而获得的自我发现。通过使用马鲁纳的“救赎脚本”（2001），本研究展示了激进主义者被视为理想主义者的观念如何导致其家庭成员构建一种新的叙事，根据意识形态来为违规行为辩护。救赎脚本原来是双向的。因此，虽然马鲁纳将其作为阻止犯罪的一种帮助，但本研究表明，就为了动物而违法而言，它可以动员家庭成员支持各种激进主义。
