Book Synopsis Experimental Research on Jury Decision-making by : Robert J. MacCoun
Download or read book Experimental Research on Jury Decision-making written by Robert J. MacCoun and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1989 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jury verdicts directly affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the United States every year and serve a bellwether function in plea bargaining and settlement negotiations. But because juries deliberate in secret, legal policymakers have made important decisions about the scope and conduct of jury trials on the basis of untested intuitions about how juries reach verdicts. In this review of research on jury behavior, the author emphasizes the use of mock jury experiments to test hypotheses and refine theoretical models of the decision process. Because jury decisionmaking involves two different phases--cognitive processing during the trial and deliberation in the jury room--the author reviews research on both the trial and deliberation phases of the judgment process. In keeping with the emphasis of most jury research, he focuses primarily on decisionmaking in criminal trials; the extent to which the findings can be applied to civil litigation is discussed in RAND/N-2671.

Book Synopsis Jury Decision Making by : Dennis J. Devine
Download or read book Jury Decision Making written by Dennis J. Devine and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While jury decision making has received considerable attention from social scientists, there have been few efforts to systematically pull together all the pieces of this research. In Jury Decision Making, Dennis J. Devine examines over 50 years of research on juries and offers a "big picture" overview of the field. 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. Providing a unique combination of broad scope, extensive coverage of the empirical research conducted over the last half century, and theory advancement, this accessible and engaging volume offers "one-stop shopping" for scholars, students, legal professionals, and those who simply wish to better understand how well the jury system works.
Book Synopsis Racial Bias in Jury Decision Making by : Patrick Thomas Hughes
Download or read book Racial Bias in Jury Decision Making written by Patrick Thomas Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Are members of the public able to act impartially when selected for a jury or does racial bias factor into their decisions? This is the question that my study attempts to answer. The topic of racial bias in jury decision making is a subject that is difficult to study, due to the problem of access. A researcher cannot sit in on an actual deliberation. In an attempt to answer my question, I conducted an experimental study on jury decision making among undergraduate students at Boise State University, by use of a survey. In the experiment, I varied the name, and thereby the perceived race, of the defendant. In the treatment group, participants were exposed to a black defendant, while in the control group, participants were exposed to a white defendant. There were 286 responses to my survey over a 12-day period in early 2017. In order to evaluate the results, I conducted a difference in means test between the treatment and control group (a t-test) in my analyses. Difference of means tests were appropriate since there were no differences between the treatment and control group in observed demographic characteristics. The 286 responses that were used were sufficient for data analysis, considering there were only two experimental groups. My hypothesis regarding the treatment alias (seemingly black) being convicted more often than the control analysis (seemingly white) was not supported. The analysis showed that the control alias was convicted more often. This study has implications regarding jury selection that can be used in real world situations. If an attorney knows these concepts and results, it may help to create an impartial jury."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book Synopsis The Trial Process by : Bruce Dennis Sales
Download or read book The Trial Process written by Bruce Dennis Sales and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As noted in the Preface to Volume 1 in this series, the goal of Perspectives in Law and Psychology is to provide a forum for books aimed at systemati cally interfacing the two disciplines. Toward this end, Volume 1 pre sented a collection of original writings focused on the criminal justice system that grew out of a conference held at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Because that volume was based on conference proceedings, however, an attempt was not made to provide thorough coverage of all law-psychology issues in the criminal justice system; rather, it highlight ed a select few issues that were currently being investigated by some of the outstanding people in the field. This volume differs substantially from the first in that it attempts to bring together those psycholegal scholars who are doing the major re search on the trial process today and provides broad coverage of critical research on the trial. Thus, the chapters not only provide an extensive review of existing literature in this field but also present new contribu tions by these scholars.

Book Synopsis Jury Decision Making and Social Network Analysis by : Katarzyna Hano
Download or read book Jury Decision Making and Social Network Analysis written by Katarzyna Hano and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work I combine the social network analysis approach with the traditional experimental approach to study the phenomena of jury decision-making. I examine whether with each trial a social network is formed. The jurors, the two teams of lawyers, as well as the accused and the judge, all form a social network with cliques and leaders. This division of individuals into specific cliques, along with the lawyers' performance in court, is hypothesized to have a significant impact on the jury's verdict. Thus, by specifically studying the lawyers' engagement and disengagement on the jurors during a trial and the impact this has on the verdict, as well as understanding the structure of the social network that the individual jurors create, I hope to shed light on some of the influences that are key in delivering the verdict. In addition, this pioneering study may lead to significant policy changes in the future as well as explain the power of the society on verdicts.
