Understanding punishment preferences in the public: New findings from the Central European Social Survey
Sat, September 14, 9:30 to 10:45am, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: 1st floor, Constantin Stoicescu Room (2.24)Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Ever since the 1909 study by Otto and Sharp, scholars have sought to understand how the public would punish criminal offenders if they were the judge. To shed a new light on this question, our panel will discuss sentencing vignettes included in the criminological module of the Central European Social Survey (CESS). Drawing on repeated-measure data representative of six jurisdictions, our presentations will delve into the levels of public punitiveness, its socio-political predictors and the stability of punishment preferences across time.
