Much research has centered on exploring the effect that education has on students’ attitudes, and, specifically, their thoughts regarding punitiveness toward offenders. Due to the use of cross-sectional data, the ability to adequately assess the effect that higher education has on these attitudes is largely limited. This study attempted to overcome this issue using a longitudinal research design with undergraduate students attending a university in the Northeast. The study examined if students’ level of punitiveness changes over time and which factors (e.g. taking criminology classes, class level, and political affiliation) contribute to this change. The main findings revealed that students in this study became more liberal by attending college; however, learning about crime and criminal justice made no difference to the students included in the analysis
