Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study investigates whether or not people see young offenders as a distinct group of youths who reject society's punishment norms. Specifically, views from members of the public and from young offenders on appropriate punishments in three hypothetical cases are explored. Results reveal that not only do members of the public see young offenders as a distinct group of youths who prefer more lenient punishments than do other adolescents, but young offenders themselves also believe that other young offenders would prefer lenient punishments. Young offenders, however, actually suggest harsher punishments than members of the public suggest. Moreover, young offenders are aware of public support for punitive sanctions and of the desire to keep offenders out of the community through incarceration. These findings support earlier findings by Benaquisto and Freed (1996) that offenders do not reject society's punishment norms. Young offenders' misperception that the public is punitive, however, may present a challenge for reintegration.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
