“…Of direct relevance to the questions raised in this article, we found a study of punishment for managers in Singapore. Singh et al (2018) manipulated distributive and procedural behaviors that were seemingly interpretable as fairness versus unfairness of a company manager, and measured dispositional attribution to, outrage with, attitude toward (i.e., whether the participants would support or oppose the manager? ), and desired punishment for the manager (i.e., how much would the participants like that the manager be punished?).…”

“…Such outcome is at odds with legal systems in which dispositional attribution drives the recommendation of punishment (e.g., Hart & Honore', 1959). Singh et al (2018) had replaced the MV of punishment goal with offenders by attitude toward managers accused of unfairness.…”

“…For an IE via an MV to be significant, both the a and b path coefficients for that MV have to be significantly greater than zero. The studies of the prosecutorial mind (Singh et al, 2018;Singh & Lin, 2011) (Hayes, 2018, p. 171). Even when a distal MV of dispositional attribution may not qualify as such, it may still have its causal effects through the succeeding MV of outrage and attitude as shown by some or all of these four additional IEs.…”

“…Even when a distal MV of dispositional attribution may not qualify as such, it may still have its causal effects through the succeeding MV of outrage and attitude as shown by some or all of these four additional IEs. In such sequential mediation analyses, Singh et al (2018) had obtained evidence for precedence of the MV of outrage to that of attitude proximal to the desired punishment. Thus, there is already suggestion for outrage leading to attitude in desiring punishment for leaders.…”

“…Second, causal attribution is central to several models of responsibility in general (Alicke, 2000;Schlenker et al, 1994;Shaver, 1985;Weiner, 1995) and of intuitive prosecutors in particular (Tetlock, 2002). Finally, the measure of dispositional attribution had qualified as an MV when it was used singly in previous tests (Singh et al, 2018;Singh & Lin, 2011). With a better measure of dispositional attribution rather than situational attribution (reverse-scored for dispositional attribution by Singh et al, 2018) and a conceptualization of the three MVs as distal, in-between, and proximal to the DV, it should now be possible to test Prediction 2 that the IV effects on the DV travel in the Dispositional attribution (D) → Outrage (O) → Attitude (A) order.…”

When a national leader is accused of impropriety, people often desire his/her ouster.To explain such desire for punishment, the authors tested two predictions of the model of intuitive prosecutors. While continuing in the position after the allegation activates the prosecutorial mind among people, resigning from the position deactivates it (Prediction 1). The relation between an inappropriate response by the leader and the desired punishment is mediated sequentially by dispositional attribution to, outrage with, and attitude toward him/her (Prediction 2). In Experiment 1, the accused leader had resigned (i.e., already punished) or hadn't resigned from the position (i.e., remained unpunished). In Experiment 2, the leader had also cooperated with (i.e., an appropriate response) or threatened the accusers and the investigators (i.e., an inappropriate response). Participants (Ns = 168 and 200) from India made the dispositional attribution, outrage, attitude, and punishment responses to the leader. Results supported both predictions. Theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

The existence of restorative justice certainly brings a new paradigm in the settlement of criminal cases by seeking to resolve cases solely outside of court. The implementation of restorative justice-based prosecution termination can be applied to theft, which has the highest number of cases in Indonesia. This is because the Covid-19 pandemic created a moral crisis that led to a drastic increase in theft crimes in Indonesia, disrupting economic stability. Recently, restorative justice houses have been established in each jurisdiction of the prosecutor's office to optimize the resolution of legal problems by filtering cases that go to court, disseminating law to local residents, and involving local traditional leaders to develop local wisdom and emphasize consensus deliberation. The research approach used a normative juridical method, referencing laws and regulations sourced from primary data and literature studies on criminal law in Indonesia, which were then processed to draw specific conclusions. The study's results show that humanist restorative justice houses are an alternative for solving theft cases. The embodiment of restorative justice in a hybrid way within the prosecutor's office will establish it as a humane law enforcement agency in Lampung province.
