Can anyone provide any cross-cultural comparisons of vengeance? It's probably fair to say that Scandinavian countries are less vengeful than USA, but how do countries in the rest of the Anglosphere, Slavic countries, Mediterranean countries, East Asian countries etc. compare? Is Christian background (which IMO places the most emphasis on mercy and forgiveness of all the world religious traditions) actually predictive of being less vengeful? I'm more interested in how the public feels about punishment for the sake of inflicting suffering on the criminal/accused than actual government policies, though presumably the two would be closely related.
