Abstract
  • There exists strong evidence for the proposition that individual psychological dispositions, social attitudes and environmental conditions predict support for punitive \\textit{criminal} punishments. Less work has been done to examine which factors predict support for punitive punishments outside of the criminal context. I argue that when an individual's high or low within-group status is made salient, they will express greater support for punitive policies punishing a disfavored out-group. A test of this theory is conducted and findings are presented.
