    ANNOTATION: The "discrepancy [that exists] between what people want (both deterrence and retribution), and the actions that people perceive as just (retributive justice)" is examined (p. 17). Sections following an abstract are: introduction; Study 1 -- method and results according to manipulation checks, assigned punishment, stated motives, behavioral measure, nonconsistency between stated and actual motives, and discussion; Study 2 -- method and results according to support for abstract polices, for application of policies, and for policies after application, and mediational analysis; and general discussion. While individuals may claim to support deterrence, they actually prefer the application of retributive sentences.
