The article discusses when tit‐for‐tat enforcement, an important strategy in responsive regulation theory, may generate intended reactions in communities of regulatees. Combining insights from compliance motivation theory, responsive regulation theory, and ethnographic studies of compliance, I hypothesize that tit‐for‐tat enforcement's probability of success depends on regulators’ institutionalized capacity to promote law–morality correspondence. Building such institutionalized capacity—so‐called “embeddedness”—simultaneously increases requirements for inspectorates’ competence. This article addresses three forms of law–morality correspondence: moral support for the law's content, the legislator's authority, and harmony between legal and moral guilt criteria.

针锋相对的执法后果：迈向法规实施的希波克拉底原则

本文讨论了针锋相对的强制执行（响应式监管理论中的重要策略）何时会在被监管者群体中产生预期的反应。结合合规动机理论，响应性法规理论和民族志研究的见解，我假设以牙还牙的执法成功的可能性取决于监管者促进法律与道德对应的制度化能力。建立这种制度化的能力（即所谓的“嵌入式能力”）会同时增加对检查人员能力的要求。本文讨论法律的三种形式-道德对应：对法律内容的道德支持，立法者的权威以及法律与道德罪责标准之间的和谐。
