Description
Brendan Rose leads a team on whether crime facts sway public punishment views. Their study from twenty twenty-four deals with deterrence proof. Harsh punishment stays popular despite thin proof that it works.
A public sample judged fake cases of three crime types. Half got a short sum of deterrence research as well. The ask was whether to double sentences to cut crime. Past work shows such facts soften strict punishment views. Crime severity may change that sway, they test. Mind traits that may drive the shift are also probed. A public sample took part in the fake cases.
