Description
This study concerns the first measuring moment with the questionnaire about support for vigilantism. Panel members were assigned at random to one of 12 groups. This group assignment determined which combination of fictitious news items was presented to the panel member. Ten groups were presented two news items. The first item described a criminal offence – of variable seriousness – followed by a number of questions about the people portrayed in the news item. The second news item reported the formal punishment imposed on the offender – of variable harshness – and that the victim, not satisfied with the sentence, had decided to impose his own punishment on the offender. The remaining two groups of respondents served as control groups, and they were presented just a single news item that reported the offense, the formal punishment and the vigilantism all at once. This was also followed by questions about the people portrayed in the news item.
