LabelCar vandals:punish the drunk more? Q499
Question text I'd like you to think about two people who have been found guilty of vandalising a car. One person was drunk when they committed the offence, the other was not. Neither of them have been in trouble before. Do you think that the person who was drunk at the time should be punished more harshly, less harshly, or, should their punishment be the same?
