Sažetak
This study investigates intergenerational resemblance (i.e., intergenerational transmission) in attitudes toward atrocity crime punishment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a post-conflict society still grappling with the legacy of war. Using a vignette study, we explored (dis-)continuities in punitive attitudes towards atrocity crimes between parents who experienced the war and their children, who have no direct experience of these events. Data were collected from a convenience sample. The distributed vignettes focused on preferred sentence length in a constructed atrocity crime scenario with variations in perpetrator rank, trial location, and apology. We also collected respondents' demographic data, including age, sex, ethnicity, familial roles, and personal conflict experiences. The study found a modest yet consistent correlation between parents' and children's punitive attitudes, with notable qualitative differences in their reasoning. These findings contribute to understanding the nuances of intergenerational resemblance in punitiveness in post-conflict settings, highlighting the need for broader assessments to fully grasp the long-term impacts of war and atrocity crimes on societal attitudes.
