Abstract
The aim of this research paper was to examine whether there was a relationship between demographic factors such as age, gender and education on people's attitudes towards offender reintegration. It also identifies whether there is a link between legal attitudes and belief in redeemability which is conducted through the use of multiple pre-existing scales in order to gather the data from the public. This paper uses quantitative research methods to collect data through the use of a questionnaire which was made up of demographic questions, a psychopathy scale and then attitudinal questions. The system SPSS was used to analyse the data and create the graphs to highlight key findings within the data.
