Answer:

appeal to higher loyalties

Explanation:

The "appeal to higher loyalties" technique is commonly used in cases where the individual who commits the crime feels that they need to break the law of a whole community in order to satisfy a smaller group or family. An example of this technique can be seen when a teenager finds themselves in trouble due to the fact that they tried to protect a family member or friend, as is the case in the question.
