Past studies have focused on the seriousness of the offenses, but have neglected the offenders per se. Using a Bogardus-type social distance scale 23 deviant roles were examined using a sample of 355 respondents who indicated decided preferences for some types of deviant offenders over others. It is concluded that persons occupying various roles such as judges, defenders, juries and so on may be in a position where they feel great social distance toward certain types of offenders and may act differentially toward them
