“…The central idea here is to repair and restore relationships between the concerned parties: victims, offenders, and community. The 5 Running Head: PUNITIVE ATITTUDES emphasis here lays on empowerment, dialogue, negotiation, and agreement (Ashworth, 2002;Ward & Langlands, 2008).…”

The present study investigates in an adult sample (N = 220) whether the relationships between the Five-Factor Model personality dimensions and punitive attitudes (i.e., deterrence, desert, moral balance, incapacitation, and rehabilitation) are mediated by right-wing attitudes (i.e., Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation). Three important results were obtained. First, the specific punitive attitudes referred to three higher order dimensions:Harsh Punishment, Social-Constructive treatment and Moral balance. Second, Harsh Punishment was largely driven by right-wing attitudes and broadband personality traits.Furthermore, RWA fully mediated the effect of Neuroticism, while the effects of Openness to Experience and Extraversion were only partially mediated. Third, Social-Constructiveness and Moral balance were only poorly related to broadband personality and right-wing attitudes.Strengths and limitations are discussed, as well as implications for punitive policies.

The effects of sexual crimes upon victims and the wider community are pervasive and far-reaching, yet conventional attempts to address offending and seek justice for victims have not succeeded; rather, they have left victims without a sense of justice and often magnified the adverse impacts of the initial victimization. The applicability and appropriateness of restorative justice to such gendered categories of crime has been long debated, but emerging evidence suggests that it may offer victims greater satisfaction by way of recognition of the need for substantive over procedural equality, and consequent privileging of victims' needs and experiences. This focus on substantive equality and its implications for justice also aligns with international covenants, which recognize the inadequacy of formal equality and traditional approaches to justice when addressing crimes where perpetration is dependent on the manifestation of power and control. The article therefore sets out the case for restorative justice in accordance with these imperatives for substantive equality, and discusses the challenges inherent in providing safe restorative practices.

“…30 Indeed, there are strong opinions against the use of VIS and VSO among common law academics, especially in the UK. 31 Notwithstanding that English authorities have introduced a so-called Victim Personal Statement (VPS, 2001), there remains strong resistance against the introduction of an oral contribution by the victim at trial proceedings. Indeed, the authorities are instructed to inform the victim who wants to make a VPS that the court 'will not take into account any opinion the victim expresses as to how the offender, if convicted, should be punished' .…”
