Forensic Psychology
Forensic psychology has two general definitions: broadly as a field of science that applies psychology to legal issues, and narrowly as a professional specialty in practice. The history of forensic psychology is reviewed from both of those perspectives, but with emphasis on the formal development of forensic psychological practice, which has been established only within the past 40 years. The latter history focuses on the field's development of p…
Seeing Jurisdiction
This article asks, “If law is all over, why don't we see it?” It takes seriously the fact that we see law in lawyers and buildings and police, but that there is more law out there. In this sense law is like religion, politics, and economics. It is an activity where various senses come into play. With law, we can learn to see more than we do. Jurisdiction is one of the easier areas of law to see. The article develops some of the distinctive ways w…
Anti-Anti Terror
Humor is, among other things, a form of critique in American politics. This is particularly true with regard to public policy about which we are sensitive. One aspect of the Bush anti-terror policy that was the subject of a great deal of humor was the color-coded warning system administered by the Department of Homeland Security under its first Director, Tom Ridge. This policy was the subject of so many jokes that it became an embarrassment. This…
Thirty years of investigating the own-race bias in memory for faces
The current article reviews the own-race bias (ORB) phenomenon in memory for human faces, the finding that own-race faces are better remembered when compared with memory for faces of another, less familiar race. Data were analyzed from 39 research articles, involving 91 independent samples and nearly 5,000 participants. Measures of hit and false alarm rates, and aggregate measures of discrimination accuracy and response criterion were examined, i…

The usefulness of the criteria-based content analysis technique in distinguishing between truthful and fabricated allegations
The Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) technique was developed to distinguish children's truthful from fabricated allegations. Research results suggest some use for the procedure, but many important theoretical and empirical issues remain unresolved, including wide differences in the apparent us
The usefulness of the criteria-based content analysis technique in distinguishing between truthful and fabricated allegations
The Other Countries of American Law
The observation by James Baldwin that the police in Harlem are an occupying army presents a jurisprudential challenge. I examine parts of America where consensual sovereignty has either never taken root or has been replaced by other foundations for law. These are places such as the Indian Reservations, the unassimilated territories acquired from Spain in the 1890s, and federal land in New Mexico administered by agencies like the Forest Service. T…
Law in Politics
This article examines politics on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, for evidence of law at the constitutive level. We see legal relations shaping grassroots struggles over public space and housing as forums, claims, and political positions. This view challenges instrumental conceptions of law still prominent in some social-scientific approaches.

Euthanasia
It has been argued that euthanasia is one of the most pressing social concerns of our times. A review of current scientific and legal materials, however, indicates that this issue is a complex and contentious one that crosses numerous perspectives and theoretical orientations. In order to provide background for the other articles in this collection, we present a brief history of attitudes toward euthanasia. In addition, various terms that are ass…
Euthanasia on Trial
This study investigated the influence of various contextual effects on the decisions of subjects evaluating a case of nonphysician‐assisted suicide. Subjects viewed a videotaped deposition of an individual emotionally or nonemotionally describing how he assisted in the death of his terminally ill wife by disconnecting her respirator or shooting her in the head. The deposition was followed by jury instructions that outlined the duties of the subje…
The Other Countries of American Law
The observation by James Baldwin that the police in Harlem stand in relation to the population as an occupying army presents a jurisprudential challenge. The function of jurisprudential theory in liberal legal regimes is to explain the legitimacy of law with reference to consensual principles of sovereignty. In this paper, I examine parts of America where consensual sovereignty has either never taken root or under present conditions seems to be a…
The Challenge of the South
We make lots of things into texts these days (movies, conversation, dreams) in order to bring them into our discussions. The hope is that something is gained. Here we have a public speech that has become an essay. I hope we don't lose too much in treating it that way. In addressing the written text of Santos's "Three Metaphors ..." (1995), I would like to recall the speech of which the text is a part. The speech took place in a large and fabulous…
Coming Home
Ever since the formation of an academic bar, one which left the practical world of apprentices and clerkships barely 100 years ago, the architects of law's intellectual life have looked outside the canons of lawyers' law to academic life and its deep thinkers for stimulation. From the German social scientists of Pound's time to Foucault in our own, the erotica of the legal academy have often been drawn from French and German philosophers and soci…

Sexual Entitlement
While traditionally social scientists saw politics as an independent force acting on law, today it seems appropriate to also view law as an agent in the construction of political identities, aspirations and tactics. Here, the AIDS epidemic illuminates this relationship. Soon after AIDS was identified, the cities of San Francisco and San Diego moved to close the gay baths as breeding grounds for the disease. The struggle over that policy reveals h…
Birth Technologies
This study of “birth technologies” such as amniocentesis and ultrasound explores their relationship to law in a correlative area, abortion politics, in order to assess the indirect influence of politics on technology. We begin nearly twenty years ago when these technologies were emerging and trace the story to the early 1990s. Our analysis suggests that abortion politics, filtered through such activities as grant-making and basic research, influe…
College Students’ Racial Attitudes
Factor analyses of responses from white ( N = 260) and black ( N = 81) college students in two neighboring universities were utilized to develop contemporary measures of racial attitudes and of the degree of interracial contact experienced by blacks and by whites. Two sets of 112 attitudinal statements were utilized for the initial factor analyses, one set for black respondents and one for whites. About 60% of the items in the two sets were ident…
Order without Lawyers
shis is a wonderful book to review because the author's project is ambitious and he has done a great deal of work to establish the authority of his contribution. The project tries to bridge the gap between formal and cultural analysis in law. This enterprise, specifically the marriage between Law and Economics and Law and Society, could disappoint partisans in both camps. My sense, however, is that it won't disappoint because we want to see the g…

The Role of Experience and Contact in the Recognition of Faces Of Own‐ and Other‐Race Persons
Failing to recognize someone or misidentifying someone can have important personal and social consequences. The perceiver may suffer feelings of embarrassment or stupidity. The target may feel insulted, stereotyped, or in extreme cases may be falsely identified as a criminal. If the perceiver and the target are of different ethnic groups, misidentification can increase intergroup hostility, stereotyping, and intergroup anxiety. Laboratory and fie…

Right, Rage, and Remedy
When political activists talk about strategy and when they address each other, legal forms are an integral part of their language. Some movements, like alternative dispute resolution, build on a general critique of the legal process. Others, like gay rights, seek to fulfill legal promises or, as in the feminist antipornography campaign, they present broadsides against the law's oppression. These ideas about law are not bound in standard law books…

Dimensions of Verbal Racial Attitudes
The empirical approach to the analysis of attitude organization suggests that verbal racial attitudes are not organized in terms of cognitive, affective, and conative (or behavioral) components but rather in terms of content areas that cross‐cut this structural trichotomy. A racial attitude inventory made up of nine empirically identified dimensions successfully predicted whites' membership in attitudinal criterion groups. In this study two addit…

Bad Attitudes
Following World War II, survey researchers taught a generation of Americans that ordinary people were not to be trusted on fundamental rights because their attitudes were reactionary, intolerant, and generally bad. The article examines this research and its influence on constitutional politics. It proposes that this attitude perspective fostered elite domination in matters of fundamental right and an orientation away from economic rights. The art…
Racial Stereotypes, Attitudes, and Evaluations of and Behavioral Intentions Toward Negroes and Whites
Two hundred subjects were asked to play the part of a Juvenile Court Judge in making evaluations of, and assigning sentences to, white and Negro juvenile offenders. Subjects also completed measures of racial attitude and of stereotyping. A moderate relationship between the attitude and stereotyping measures was found; these measures were also related to the evaluation of specific Negro offenders, in terms of their and in terms of the estimated di…

Means Discrimination
Constitutional “equal protection” has a technical meaning that orients legal thinking. Its roots are in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and the relationship between separation of the races in schools, theaters, and other public places and the guarantee of material or physical equality. Brown v. The Board of Education (1954), in eliminating separation from constitutional protection also eliminated the constitutional promise of material equality.The appr…

The "sense" in Supreme Court decisions is at least partly a function of the Court's past opinions. Professor Brigham examines the Court's tradition with reference to property claims and how it has settled them. The basic understanding of the concept of property would seem to have remained stable over time, but new forms to which it applies have appeared in response to changing socioeconomic and poltical conditions. Property rights in titles, offi…

The applications of eyewitness identification research to the courtroom
The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1972 and 1977 that there are five factors that should be taken into account in evaluating the validity of eyewitness evidence. These factors are (1) the opportunity to view the criminal at the time of the crime; (2) length of time between the crime and the identification; (3) level of certainty of the eyewitness; (4) the accuracy of the witness's prior description of the criminal; and (5) the witness's deg…
