The morals of criminals

  • 2 Jun 2016

Are criminals lacking in moral motivation? In this video, Alexander Cappelen and Bertil Tungodden conduct an experiment in order to understand if prisoners differ from other people when it comes to sharing money. On average, prisoners share as much as others when confronted to the same situations. Their study has implications for the reintegration of criminals into society. This video was recorded at the Choice Lab, Norwegian School of Economics, in Bergen.
