No full textWhereas the dominant literature related to people’s attitudes toward the death penalty connect the variability of those attitudes with either fear of crime or fear/distrust toward the judicial system, we test our argument that high support for the death penalty and its reinstatement might reflect protest attitude against an untrustworthy judiciary, and more so when people state their attitudes toward the reinstatement of the death penalty than when they state their principled attitudes toward the death penalty. We frame this as a protest attitude. We replicate two sets of ordered probit models on data from a probability sample of 1414 respondents in Albania collected in 2015 via a cell phone random digit dialing technique (RDD). We found respondents’ support for the reinstatement of the death penalty reflects people’s lack of trust in the judiciary, but not necessarily them prioritizing fight against crime

Our population consisted of students enrolled in Political Science or a related subdiscipline, such as Public Administration, Public Policy, and Security Studies. We did not attempt to sample all students enrolled in those programs – students who rarely attend class would not exhibit whatever benefits research-based learning might bring – but we did revisit each classroom twice rather than miss occasional absentees. Our resulting sample frame consisted of 637 active students.</p
