| ys23a016 | Considering your political beliefs, where would you place yourself on the left-right spectrum? |
| ys23a017 | I enjoy having a clear and structured mode of life |

| ys23a033 | I am concerned that I or someone I love will become the victim of a crime. |
| ys23a034 | I think that sentences for violent crimes should be stricter than they are now. |
| ys23a035 | I feel that criminals are being treated too leniently in the criminal justice system. |
| ys23a036 | I think that we should re-introduce the death penalty for very serious crimes. |
| ys23a037 | All perpetrators should have the right to be released eventually, as long as the risk of re-offending is not too great. |

| ys23a050 | I think it is normal that there are differences between people in terms of status, power, money, etc. |
