Book excerpt: "The volume summarizes existing theories of jury decision making and identifies what we have learned about jury behavior, including the effects of specific courtroom practices, the nature of the trial, the characteristics of the participants, and the evidence itself. Making use of those foundations, Devine offers a new integrated theory of jury decision making that addresses both individual jurors and juries as a whole and discusses its ramifications for the courts"--Cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How jurors come to a verdict in a trial is a fascinating topic with many unexpected aspects. Inside the Juror presents the most interesting and sophisticated work to date on juror decision making from several traditions--social psychology, behavioral decision theory, cognitive psychology, and behavioral modeling. The authors grapple with crucial questions, such as: Why jurors who hear the same evidence and arguments in the courtroom enter the jury room with disagreements about the proper verdict and how biases and prejudices affect jurors' decisions. And just how "rational" is the typical juror? As an introduction to the scientific study of juror decision making in criminal trials, Inside the Juror provides a comprehensive and understandable summary of the major theories of juror decision making and the research that has been conducted to evaluate their validity.

Download or read book Beliefs and Expectancies in Legal Decision Making written by Bradley D. McAuliff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beliefs and expectancies influence our everyday thoughts, feelings, and actions. These attributes make a closer examination of beliefs and expectancies worthwhile in any context, but particularly so within the high-stakes arena of the legal system. Whether the decision maker is a police officer assessing the truthfulness of an alibi, a juror evaluating the accuracy of an eyewitness identification, an attorney arguing a case involving a juvenile offender, or a judge deciding whether to terminate parental rights—these decisions matter and without doubt are influenced by beliefs and expectancies. This volume is comprised of research on beliefs and expectancies regarding alibis, children’s behaviour while testifying, eyewitness testimony, confessions, sexual assault victims, judges’ decisions in child protection cases, and attorneys’ beliefs about jurors’ perceptions of juvenile offender culpability. Areas for future research are identified, and readers are encouraged to discover new ways that beliefs and expectancies operate in the legal system. This book was originally published as a special issue of Psychology, Crime & Law.

Download or read book How Juries Work written by Rebecca K. Helm and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of common law jurisdictions, and some civil law jurisdictions, use juries composed of citizens drawn from the general population to deliberate and reach collective verdicts in criminal cases. Juries are relied on to use their collective judgment to reach verdicts that accord with normative legal goals; for example, by being accurate and fair. How Juries Work suggests that, though important symbolically, the current jury system is not necessarily well-designed to meet the demands of modern society, which increasingly requires evidence-based procedure that is carefully designed to achieve normative goals. Rebecca K. Helm proposes new models of how jurors and juries function in practice, informed by psychological theory and empirical research, which provides a framework to interpret and integrate the large body of existing work on jury decision-making. Drawing on this framework, Helm highlights the deficiencies and strengths of the jury as a legal factfinder, providing key insights into how to minimise deficiencies and maximise strengths through trial procedure. The book concludes with a set of timely evidence-based suggestions as to how procedure surrounding trial by jury might be altered to enhance the administration of justice in the many jurisdictions where the criminal law jury is utilised. How Juries Work integrates legal and psychological theory and research to present a comprehensive assessment of the modern criminal law jury, and of how evidence-based research can improve jury performance.

Download or read book Examining Effectiveness of Judicial Instructions and Gruesome Evidence on Jurors' Cognitive Processing and Judgments of Eyewitness Evidence written by Lindsay Margarita Perez and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eyewitness testimony is highly influential on jurors' verdict, however, it is generally unreliable. Erroneous eyewitness identifications are involved in nearly three-fourths of DNA evidence exoneration cases. Jurors often judge eyewitness evidence at face value, and are typically unaware of the variety of factors that influence eyewitness accuracy. The Henderson instructions, implemented in New Jersey after State v. Henderson, inform jurors about the factors that influence eyewitness accuracy in an effort to provide them with more guidance in the evaluation of eyewitness evidence. The present study examined whether modifying the Henderson instructions increases jurors' comprehension of the instructions and inform their evaluations of eyewitness evidence and verdict. The Henderson instructions were modified by reducing the reading level, shortening sentence length, removing passive phrases, and simplifying the vocabulary of the instructions into 'plain English'. This study also examined the influence of gruesome evidence on jurors' judgments. This research, informed by cognitive-experiential self-theory (CEST) and the elaboration likelihood model (ELM), investigated the degree to which judicial instructions and gruesome evidence affect jurors' cognitive processing level as well as how information processing affects jurors' judgments. This research investigated the degree to which individual differences in decision-making (i.e., need for cognition, faith in intuition, and legal authoritarianism) relate to jurors' evaluations of eyewitness evidence and verdict choice. Additionally, this research determined the degree to which cognitive processing measures used in CEST and ELM are interchangeable. Results indicated that the modified Henderson instructions elicited juror sensitivity (i.e., proper evaluation of eyewitness evidence based on the factors involved in the identification) for the assessment of perceived eyewitness accuracy but generally not for verdict choice. Gruesome evidence did not directly influence verdict choice; however, gruesome evidence had an indirect effect on verdict through sadness, contempt, disgust, and cognitive processing level as measured by CEST but not ELM. Although CEST and ELM measures produced similar results, a comparison of each measure of cognitive processing level in predictive models indicated that these measures were not interchangeable. Results potentially aid in the implementation of better methods for promoting critical analysis of eyewitness testimony. Work on jurors' judgments of eyewitness evidence and cognitive processing will further psychological theory on how jurors formulate their judgments about various aspects of a case, as well as the degree to which the simplified Henderson instructions and gruesome evidence impact cognitive processing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 International Association for Relationship Research Book Award Can we predict how well -- or how poorly -- two strangers will get along? According to social psychologist William Ickes, the answer is yes. Drawing upon relevant research findings from his 30-year career, Ickes explains how initial interactions are shaped by gender, race, birth order, physical attractiveness, androgyny, the Big Five dimensions, shyness, and self-monitoring. Ickes's work offers unprecedented insights on the links between personality and social behavior that have not previously been compiled in a single source: how sibling relationships during childhood affect our interactions with opposite-sex strangers years later; why Latinos have a social advantage in initial interactions; how men react to the physical attractiveness of a female stranger in a relatively direct and obvious way while women react to the attractiveness of a male stranger in a more indirect and subtle way; and how personality similarity is related to satisfaction in married couples.

Download or read book Expert Psychological Testimony for the Courts written by Mark Costanzo and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, the frequency and range of expert testimony by psychologists have increased dramatically. Courts now routinely hear expert testimony from clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychologists. Expert Psychological Testimony for the Courts provides a comprehensive, research-based analysis of the content, ethics, and impact of expert testimony. This book features leading scholars who have contributed to the scientific foundation for expert testimony and who have also served as expert witnesses. The opening chapter explores issues surrounding the admissibility of expert testimony, and the closing chapter explores the ethics and limits of psychological testimony. Each of the intervening chapters focuses on a different area of expert testimony: forensic identification, police interrogations and false confessions, eyewitness identification, sexual harassment, mitigation in capital cases, the insanity defense, battered women, future dangerousness, and child custody. These chapters describe the typical content of expert testimony in a particular area, evaluate the scientific foundation for testimony, examine how jurors respond to expert testimony, and suggest ways in which legal standards or procedures might be modified in light of psychological research. This groundbreaking book should be on the shelf of every social scientist interested in the legal system and every trial attorney who is likely to retain a psychologist as an expert witness. It can also serve as a text for advanced courses in psychology, legal studies, criminal justice, law, and sociology.

Download or read book Crime and Criminality written by Sandie Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of ‘why’ and ‘how’ certain individuals are drawn towards behaving in a way that contravenes the ‘Law of the Land’ is not an easy one to address. Researchers from various different fields have nevertheless attempted to develop theoretical explanations for the existence of different types of crime and why some individuals commit such acts. Crime and Criminality draws on criminology, sociology, psychology and neuroscience to offer a balanced perspective of crime, the criminal and criminality. Coverage includes: a comprehensive discussion of theoretical approaches to criminal behaviour, including biological, social and ‘rational choice’ approaches; an analysis of legal and social definitions of crime and how these definitions influence the way specific behaviours are labelled as criminal; an examination of different types of crime and criminals, from delinquents to ‘psychopaths’ and sex offenders; an exploration of different ways in which crime is predicted, including risk assessment and offender profiling and an overview of investigative techniques. Addressing a broad range of topics and offering a synthesis of competing theoretical explanations of criminality, this book is essential reading for students taking courses in criminology, criminal psychology, criminal behaviour, forensic psychology and psychological criminology.
