Introducing Item-Specific Formatting to Scales of Criminal Justice Attitudes: Evidence from a National Experiment
Sound measurement is crucial for scientific advancement. Public opinion research suggests agree/disagree (A/D) questions, commonly used in criminology, are susceptible to response order effects and acquiescence bias, and increased cognitive burden and confusion. Previous criminological research on Americans’ seeming openness to both punitive and rehabilitative policies (i.e. pragmatism) has demonstrated the problematic nature of positively worded…
The Pragmatic American Revisited: A Direct Replication of Pickett and Baker (2014)
In 2014, Pickett and Baker cast doubt on the scholarly consensus that Americans are pragmatic about criminal justice. Previous research suggested this pragmaticism was evidenced by either null or positive relationships between seemingly opposite items (i.e., between dispositional and situational crime attributions and between punitiveness and rehabilitative policy support). Pickett and Baker argued that because these studies worded survey items i…
Group-individual probability confusion: Implications for suspect prioritization in criminal investigations
Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in Covid-19 preprints
Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment for rapid policy implementation in a crisis and help guide a more efficient allocation of scarce replication resources. We elicited judgements from participants on 100 claims from preprints about an e…

Trial by Tabloid: Can Implicit Bias Education Reduce Pretrial Publicity Bias
The Western District of Washington recently developed an educational video to reduce jurors’ implicit biases. Little is known regarding the effectiveness of this proposed remedy to address a range of implicit biases. This study tested whether this educational video reduces pretrial publicity (PTP) bias. A total of 330 undergraduate participants were randomly assigned to read PTP or unrelated articles. An average of 9 days later, they were randoml…
Does Criminal Propensity Moderate the Effects of Social Learning Theory Variables on Intimate Partner Violence
Akers’ Social Learning Theory (SLT) is one of the predominant general theories of criminal behavior; it has been widely tested and is typically supported. Despite being a validated general theory, it is possible there are other factors such as criminal propensity that influence the effects of social learning constructs. This study examines the extent, if any, to which crime-specific operationalizations of SLT exert equivalent effects on a specifi…
New Technologies in Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes: The ICC Legal Tools Project
The Legal Tools of the International Criminal Court (ICC or ‘the Court’) are new technologies which facilitate the administration of criminal justice for atrocities by improving effectiveness and enhancing the capacity of criminal justice institutions to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate core international crimes. This article will introduce the ICC's Legal Tools before drawing attention to two recent endorsements of the Tools. It will focus …
