Views on justice often vary between nations.The current study explored and compared the views of Nigerian and U.S. collegestudents regarding justice views. Nigeria is a developing nation which has a long historyof informal restorative justice practices, but also uses formal government justiceagencies to deal with crime. The U.S. is a developed nation which often relies on aformal state administered punitive crime control approach. Based on multivariateanalyses, there were significant differences in views between Nigerian and U.S. collegestudents in views on shaming for control crime, seeking revenge, showing mercy, andpartnerships between the police and the community.
