520 |a This chapter examines the attitudes of laypersons regarding gender-based violence in France and Germany. The analysis of their perceptions relies on the responses of 100 ordinary citizens in France and Germany who were asked to judge three fictitious criminal cases related to gender-based violence. This contribution first questions whether laypersons share common perceptions on gender violence and show that French respondents are significantly more punitive than German respondents. Second, the qualitative analysis of the layperson’s reasoning explains these variations by examining the role of criminal justice policies and of the mediatisation of crime, and about public perceptions of gender-based violence. The sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents also contribute to explaining the punitive demands expressed in each country in a more nuanced way.
