英文摘要 | The concept of state-corporate crime is conspicuously missing from recent state-funded surveys of public attitudes towards white-collar and corporate crime. While these studies have reported increased condemnation of upper-class offenders, the scenarios used to elicit subjects' reactions did not specifically describe collusion between political and economic institutions. As a result, little is known about how the polity's role in encouraging or assisting corporate malfeasance may influence popular sentiments such as blame attribution and perceptions of just deserts. The present study asked 231. Facebook users to read two scenarios inspired by actual state-corporate crime cases, one in which the government initiated the offence, and another in which it merely facilitated the company's actions. After reading both scenarios, the respondents were asked to rate the blameworthiness of companies and government agencies and choose adequate punishments for key decision-makers. Results of statistical analyses suggest that the subjects were sensitive to variation in the role played by the state. The government was considered more blameworthy and deserving of tougher punishments when it initiated corporate wrongdoing, although a majority of participants felt that political and economic forces in both cases were equally to blame. These findings suggest that public opinion research should be used to engage the citizenry in evidence-informed policymaking by identifying commonly agreed upon solutions to state-corporate crime. |
