Abstract

This study examines the impact of attitude toward the limits of official power and other attitudinal correlates upon the Taiwanese public's views of punishment. Data were from a sample of 3,751 adult respondents who participated a national survey in 1984. Findings from this study showed that the majority of Taiwanese favor an immediate and harsh punishment of criminals. Furthermore, acceptance of a broader official power and other attitudinal correlates determine the public's punitive opinions.
