Liberal and conservative regions differ in death penalty moral justification

Evidence

However, territorial ascriptions can mask notable diversity in moral disengagement within regional groupings. This is borne out by regional differences obtained in the same study. Residents in the more liberally oriented region of Austin, Texas, were much less likely than their counterparts residing in more conservative southern regions to cite a moral justification for the death penalty. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1979
