- Abstract : Criminal justice reform is one of the many contentious issues we face in an increasingly polarized political climate. Differing perceptions of issues like these may be explained by underlying belief systems and expressed through narratives. This study employs the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) by Moral Politics Theory as the theoretical underpinning for policy narratives. Moral Politics Theory states that policy beliefs are shaped by either a Strict Father (individual responsibility) or Nurturant Parent (societal responsibility) worldview. Visitors to Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site read one criminal justice narrative from each worldview and selected which was more persuasive. Worldview and policy beliefs predicted which narrative was found persuasive; however, the analysis revealed there may be bilateral support for a combination of individual and societal responsibilities. Finally, this study supports and expands the NPF to a new context and population. Related Articles: Ertas, Nevbahar. 2015. "Policy Narratives and Public Opinion Concerning Charter Schools."

Las percepciones diferentes de temas como estos pueden explicarse por los sistemas de creencias subyacentes y expresarse a través de narraciones. Este estudio empleó el Marco de Política Narrativa utilizando la Teoría de la Política Moral como el fundamento teórico para las narrativas de políticas. La teoría de la política moral establece que las creencias políticas están formadas por una visión del mundo de un padre estricto (responsabilidad individual) o de un padre nutriente (responsabilidad social). Los visitantes del Sitio Histórico Penitenciario del Estado del Este leyeron una narrativa de justicia penal de cada cosmovisión y seleccionaron cuál era más convincente. La visión del mundo y las creencias políticas predijeron qué narrativa se consideró persuasiva; sin embargo, el análisis reveló que puede haber apoyo bilateral para una combinación de responsabilidades individuales y sociales. Finalmente, este estudio apoya y expande el Marco de Política Narrativa a un nuevo contexto y población. Abstract : 政策叙事、道德政治和刑事司法政策信念的相互影响: 刑事司法改革是我们在一个不断走向极化的政治气候中所面临的诸多争议性议题之一。对这类议题的不同感知,可能通过隐含的信念体系进行解释,通过叙事进行表达。本文通过将道德政治理论作为政策叙事的理论支持,从而对叙事政策框架加以应用。道德政治理论认为,政策信念的形成不是受一个"严父"(即个人责任)世界观,就是受"慈亲"(即社会责任)世界观的影响。东州监狱历史遗址( Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site )的参观者以这两种世界观分别阅读一个刑事司法叙事,并从中选出说服力更强的叙事。世界观和政策信念预测了哪种叙事更具说服力;然而分析显示,可能存在对结合个人责任和社会责任的双边支持。最后,本研究支持叙述政策框架,并将该框架扩展到一个新的情境和人群。 … (more)
