Unnever, James D.; Cullen, Francis T.; and Applegate, Brandon K., “Turning the Other Cheek: Moving Beyond Fundamentalism in Explaining Punitive Ideology,” Justice Quarterly, 22 (September 2005), 304-339


Abstract:

Religion has divergent effects on impacting punitive ideology. Those believing in a dispassionate, powerful God favor punitive measures, and those believing in a loving and compassionate God are less-supportive of “get tough” policies, even if they share the same religion.
