- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the article is to study the relationship between punitivity, victimization and fear of crime of criminal justice and security students at the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor. Methods/Design/Approach: To carry out a survey we used an online questionnaire. Data were collected in autumn 2011 from students of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor. Data were analyzed with quantitative statistical methods. Findings: The findings of the statistical analysis show that previous victimization does not affect the feelings of threat to students, but has an impact on perception of possible risk of victimization in the future. Retribution is more favored by students who have not been victimized. Analysis of variance shows that the fear of crime or feelings of threat in general do not affect punitiveness. Students who feel more threatened, consider the death penalty today as a less appropriate. Research Limitations/Implications: Due to the e-survey and sample characteristics (students of criminal justice and security according punitivity) the results are not generalisable. Practical Implications: The results of the study can be used for a discussion in the subjects on crime and punishment at the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security on penal sanctions, punitivity, penal populism and punishment. Originality/Value: The study is original, although it is a replication of a survey prepared for a cross cultural study. We used an online survey for the first time to conduct a study on punitiveness, victimization, and attitudes towards death penalty in Slovenia on a sample of Criminal Justice and security students.
