“…Other research has shown that fear has little or no association with support for harsh policies (Johnson, 2001;Tyler & Boeckmann, 1997). Anger is another emotion that is often a reaction to criminal offending (Pickett & Baker, 2017) and has been linked to support for punitive crime policies (Hartnagel & Templeton, 2012;Johnson, 2009) and desire for retribution (Bastian, Denson, & Haslam, 2013;Kort-Butler & Ray, 2018;Petersen, 2010). Fear and anger have also been found to shape support for measures to prevent school shootings including target hardening measures (Burton et al, 2020).…”

“…The expressive model of punitiveness, therefore, emphasizes the symbolic and highly racialized nature of public attitudes toward criminal justice policy. Through the expressive model, individuals convicted of crimes receive their due punishments (Carlsmith, 2006; Finckenauer, 1988; Gerber & Jackson, 2013), the moral fabric of the community is protected or repaired (Pickett & Baker, 2017; Unnever & Cullen, 2010b), and animus against racial minority groups is expressed (Barkan & Cohn, 2005; Chiricos et al, 2004; Unnever & Cullen, 2010a, 2012). Although there is extensive support for the expressive model on attitudes toward a variety of criminal justice measures, it is unknown whether public sentiments regarding policies connected to the employment of formerly incarcerated individuals—those who have already been punished and therefore have received their “just deserts”—stem from these same social sources.…”

“…In general terms, the expressive model of punitiveness involves a belief in punishment as an end in itself. Corresponding with the philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1790Kant ( /1952, this perspective points to "just deserts" as the primary goal of punishment (Carlsmith & Darley, 2008;Carlsmith, Darley, & Robinson, 2002;Finckenauer, 1988), and retributive attitudes consider punishment to be a means of mitigating the harm done, assuaging moral outrage, and reifying social norms (Gerber & Jackson, 2013;Pickett & Baker, 2017). Indeed, rather than viewing the harsh treatment of those convicted as a way to mitigate risks posed to the safety of the community by perpetrators, this model understands punishment to be largely symbolic and expressive.…”

“…In fact, even third-party participants who observe others playing experimental games have shown a willingness to spend their own in-game earnings to experience the satisfaction of punishing rule breakers (Fehr and Fischbacher 2004;Kahneman et al 1986). Other experimental evidence demonstrates that participants report feeling emotions like anger in response to unpunished moral transgressions, but report few such emotions if the offenders are punished (Pickett and Baker 2017). Although none of this research has focused on police-civilian interactions, the findings nonetheless suggest that disrespect could have similar effects on officers.…”
