Listed in DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities

These data were collected for the first study on public support for vigilantism.

Description

The data collection was carried out by Leiden University criminology students, for the 'Research methods' course. Respondents received 1 vignette about vigilantism and a questionnaire.

There were 4 versions of the vignette, based on 2 experimental factors: the level of premeditation of vigilantism (low/high), and the seriousness of the precipitating crime (low/high). Vigilantism consisted of violence after an alleged case of swindle in a bar (too little change). The questionnaire consists of 9 questions about vigilantism in the case study, and 11 questions about the justice system (confidence in the justice system, vigilantism and general concern over crime).
