| Summary: | The social perception of the penalization of the crimes is a key to
understanding the social dynamics and its relation to criminal proceedings element. It is
used as a justification for criminal expansionist policy, always founded on worry or
alarm. The paper analyzes the evolution of the sufficiency of punishment during the last
35 years (1980-2014) and the assignment of responsibilities. Next to the description and
evolution has built a favorable profile people toughen punishment.
The data source are secondary, surveys conducted by the Centre for Sociological
Research (CIS), the Eurobarometer and the European Social Survey. The scope is
national.
The main conclusions are that the evaluation of justice as benevolent and fondness for
harsher punishments draw a trend of steady increase, unless exceptional falls. This
attitude is more pronounced among people with lower level of education, women,
elderly, ideologically right, lower income and Catholics.
The responsibility of insufficient punishment is mainly ascribed to the entire system,
except the police, although the structural elements (judicial organization laws) more
than functional (judges, prosecutors). |
