We investigate the relationship between the rotational and velocity vectors in pulsars, in order to determine the direction of the natal "kick” delivered to the pulsar during the supernova of a massive parent star. Absolute polarization angles are compared with published values for the proper motion angles of pulsars, with differences suggesting parallel or perpendicular offsets. The determination of the orientations of particular polarization modes is essential in the identification of vector alignments, and hence the explanation of the observed high pulsar velocities.
