Project description
 

In this research the influence of concentrations of disorder in municipalities on distrust in the criminal justice system and the call for harsher punishment is examined. To this end we perform a number of preliminary exploratory analyses in order to develop a new measuring instrument and to get an insight in determinants of distrust and punitivity.
