Emotions and culpability
"This book investigates why, when, and how ordinary human beings hold some individuals guilty of crimes, but others less so or not at all. Why, for example, do the emotions of the accused sometimes aggravate a murder, making it a heinous crime, whereas other emotions might mitigate that murder to manslaughter, excuse a killing ("by reason of insanity"), or even justify it ("by reason of self-defense")? And what emotions on the part of jurors come…

Not fair!
Not Fair! discusses unfairness in a broad historical, religious, legal, and psychological context and shows how age, gender, and culture are likely to play a part in how we decide what is fair or unfair.

When principles collide in hard cases
Commonsense Morality Across Cultures
Two college-age samples, one from the United States (Washington, DC) and one from Spain (Madrid), were studied with mixed methods, phenomenological (with qualitative analyses) and traditional experimental (with quantitative analyses) - regarding the alleged foundational topic of `unfairness'. Participants gave their instantiations of `It's not fair!' (`No es justo'), which were deconstructed and qualitatively analyzed to find and compare the esse…
Commonsense judgments of infanticide
V. Dobson and B. Sales (2000) have found that law and science do not align over infanticide. In the present article, the authors examine commonsense justice and how community sentiment judges infanticide cases. First, analzing archival data, the authors find that sentiment has changed over some 450 years, roller coastering from lenient, to harsh, to lenient. Second, analyzing current trends, the authors find indications that sentiment is changing…

Toward a Cultural Theory of Duties
This article puts forward a number of propositions as a step toward a cultural theory of duties. The concept of 'duty' is set up in contrast to that of 'rights', in that while the former is owed to others, the latter are demanded of others. We believe that the psychology of duty has been neglected. Duties are associated with important continuities in social life, and to elaborate this point we introduce the concept of carriers, symbolic devices o…

Recidivism, Proportionalism, and Individualized Punishment
Politicians, armed with opinion polls for support, rush to enact crime bills where sentences grow steeper, where higher minimum sentences are made mandatory, and where the death sentence is applied in more cases. Despite apparent support from suspect polls, the empirical question remains: Does community sentiment favor "steeper-firmer-deadlier" punishments that are disproportionate to the act and invariate to the actors, or does sentiment favor i…
Strens and traumas
Strens, traumas, and trauma resolution
With both primary and early secondary prevention in mind, this investigation sought to answer several basic questions regarding the resolution of traumas and their conversion into strens - growth-potentiating experiences. College volunteers (N = 40) described in detail their significant positive and negative experiences. The results indicate that many people did experience a trauma that was converted into a stren, and the resolution appeared to b…

Principals and Accessories in Capital Felony-Murder
In its 5-4 decision in Tison v. Arizona (1987), the Supreme Court put forth disputable empirical assertions about where community sentiment stood on the death penalty for felony-murder accessories. The Tison majority claimed that the community would support the death sentence for an accessory where (1) major participation and (2) reckless indifference to human life were shown. Two experiments were run to test these empirical assertions, and the r…

Significant life experiences in an adult sample
This study sought to focus on the significant life experiences of an adult sample (n = 45, ages 30-60); in particular, stress, traumas, and trauma-resolved experiences were examined and compared to like experiences of an undergraduate sample. The results for the adults revealed that two-thirds of the sample were able to convert traumas into strens, and the ability seemed to be dependent more on the person than the specific event. Success at conve…

Prestidigitation, statistical magic, and Supreme Court numerology in juvenile death penalty cases
In the Supreme Court's Eighth Amendment jurisprudence, ''community sentiment'' comes to the fore in judging whether a punishment is cruel and unusual, but the Court is sharply divided over whether ''objective indicia'' should be solely determinative, or whether the moral sentiments of the Justices (i.e., a proportionality analysis) should be permitted. Whereas Justices are committed to doing social science to gauge community sentiment, they are a…
