METRTC CHARACTERTSTTCS OF QUESTTONNATRE OF PUBLTC ATTITUDES TOWARDCONVICTS AND THEIR REHABILITATIONl ABSTRACT Until now the attitudes toward convicts and their rehabilitation have never been examined in Republic of Croatia. Recent years, however, new policy in law and practice brings changes concerning greater involvement of community in convicts' rehabilitation. The purpose of conducted research is to examine public attitudes in Republic of Croatia toward convicts and their rehabilitation. The goal of this paper is to examine the metric characteristics of applied questionnaire and its factor structure. The sample was made of 364 subjects from the city of Zagreb and Zagreb county (186 males and 178 females). The Questionnaire was based on the Begin's and Couture's Questionnaire (1980). lt consisted of 16 original variables translated on Croatian language plus five new variables. The reliability of the Questionnaire when the result is expressed on the first principal component is good under all applied methods of principal component analysis. Representativity and homogeneity are also satisfying. By the method of principal component analysis, four principal components were extractred that explain 51, 5% of common variance. They were rotated in oblique Oblimin position. Factors refer to personal attitude toward convicts, attitude toward life conditions in prisons, general treatment of convicts in penal system, and general trust toward convicts. Subjects, thus, differ these issues of rehabilitation and express consistent attitudes toward them. In future analyses, the level of punitiveness and trust in relation with number of psychosocial variables will be examined.
