Extractions: Texans Becoming More Punitive T oday's Texans show both "conservatism" and "compassion" in their attitudes about how to treat criminals. According to the results of the 1999 Texas Crime Poll, an annual survey conducted by the College of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University, today's Texans are more punitive than ever but they haven't given up on people who commit crimes. Data for the 1999 survey was compiled through telephone interviews with 607 adult Texans in July and August of this year, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4-4.5 percentage points depending on the individual questions. "The most significant shift in Texans' attitudes about criminal justice over the past 20 years seems to be a loss of commitment to rehabilitation and an acceptance of adult prisons as warehouses to keep 'them' away from 'us' and to punish 'them' for their crimes," said Dennis R. Longmire, author of the study.
