Multi-Item Scale:
Item Text:
Killing is justified if it is an act of revenge. [Das Töten ist gerechtfertigt, wenn es ein Akt der Rache ist.]
Different Answer Format Tested:
Nein
Findings:
With the exception of two test persons, all test persons state that they do not agree with this statement at all ("Killing is never justified." ;DE05).
Some test persons refer to the laws and that only courts decide on punishment. Some point out that Islam also prohibits killing. Several explain that revenge only creates a cycle of violence.
Two test persons indicate "medium approval". One respondent argues that killing can be justified when it is about one's own family (AR12). Another test person "does not see that the people who have killed are not punished" (TR06). In all cases the answer and the justification are the same.
