| Summary: | For some years, Spanish criminology has addressed through different studies the punitive attitudes of citizens. However, the works in which the surveyed sample consisted of university population are few. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the results of a repeated cross-sectional empirical study conducted with university students enrolled in the first year of the Degree in Law – 130 students – and in the fourth year – 102 students – both of the University of Granada, using a self-administered survey. In a previous study, published in 2019 by the authors, students enrolled in the first year of the Degree in Law perceived the situation of crime in Spain as threatening and dangerous, also showing punitive attitudes of a severe nature. After confronting these results with those obtained with the sample of students enrolled in the 4th year, it can be observed how, in general terms, the perception of crime, the levels of fear of crime and punitive attitudes decrease, in some cases considerably. At the same time, women, both of the first year and 4th year of the Degree in Law, show, in general, levels of fear of crime and punitiveness higher than those existing in the male sample. |
