TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Authoritarianism and social distance attitudes towards offenders released from prison JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Singh, A. SP - 493 EP - 494 VL - 46 IS - 2 N2 - It was hypothesized that authoritarian individuals maintain attitudes of greater social distance towards (a) violent offenders, (b) violent young offenders, (c) non-violent offenders, and (d) non-violent young offenders released from prison. Correlations of scores on Boehm's Legal Attitudes Questionnaire for the offender groups supported the hypothesis. Subjects were 48 students in management science. Apparently high authoritarians would like to maintain attitudes of greater social distance from violent offenders than non-violent offenders released from prison.
