Practical Implications of Psychological Research on Juror and Jury Decision Making

Abstract

The results of basic social science research have been applied to legal practice at a number of levels within the criminal and civil justice systems, although its application is controversial at all levels of practice. A selective review of behavioral science research on juror and jury decision making reveals that there has been cumulative and substantial progress in our understanding of these processes over the past three decades. Many of these findings are relevant to the efforts to improve the institution of the petit jury trial.
