Description
Summary:"Punishment in specific cases - Postsurvey, 2009" is part of the larger project "Attitudes Towards Punishment in Nordic Countries", which was carried out in Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden in 2009. The purpose of the project was to investigate what penalties people think are appropriate for different crimes in the Nordic countries, whether there are systematic differences between the Nordic countries in people's perceptions of what is appropriate punishment for different crimes and whether there are systematic differences internally in the Nordic countries between the punishment practiced and the punishment that people think is appropriate for different crimes. The project consists of structured quantitative data obtained by the respondents answering a questionnaire with three questions about punishment for each criminal case, a total of six cases described in the questionnaire (the same form used in focus groups). In addition, the respondents answered a few questions about themselves (gender, age, marital status, county of residence, degree of urbanization of the place of residence).
