- Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the data from the 9th wave of PACIS (Citizen Panel for Social Research in Andalusia) focusing on two issues: exploring the degree of preference for greater criminal harshness and studying the relationship between this preference and a set of variables considered to be predictors of punitiveness. The results show that Andalusian public opinion is highly inclined towards custodial sentences over alternative sentences in three different criminal scenarios. Likewise, binary logistic regression analysis shows the significant, albeit very moderate, influence of some personal traits (age, educational level, ideology and religious beliefs) and some social perceptions (insecurity and problematization of both crime and immigration regulation) in favouring prison or internment penalties over economic sanctions, probation or community service.
