Law and human behavior: Reflections on its creation and future
It then argues that the time has come for the journal to stimulate and systematically publish empirical research on the operation of all criminal and civil law and its relationships to human behavior. The resulting refocusing and writings will advance our understanding of law in books and law in action, as well as why psychological science is critical to understanding law, and highlight potential opportunities for improving law domestically and g…
Scientific jury selection.
"Given the importance of trial consultants to the modern-day practice of law, Scientific Jury Selection is designed to be informative for psychologists, other professionals interested in trial consulting (e.g., sociologists, communication experts, marketing researchers, psychiatrists, and social workers), and attorneys. The authors provide a thorough review of the most common techniques used to select jurors and a critical, social-science-based e…

Criminal profiling: Developing an Effective Science and Practice
"This book aims to transform criminal profiling into a credible science and practice that will reliably aid law enforcement investigation. Authors Scotia J. Hicks and Bruce D. Sales painstakingly critique the state of criminal profiling today and find the practice of criminal profiling to be an art more than an established science, lacking clear links among crime scene evidence and offender motives, personality, and behavior. With no firm scienti…
Deaf or hard of hearing inmates in prison
Despite laws in the United States enacted to protect individuals with disabilities in prison, there is ample case law to demonstrate that the intent of these laws has not been achieved. Using the existing US legal and social science literatures and experiences, this article considers: the problems hearing-impaired offenders face in prison that are not encountered by non-deaf or hard of hearing inmates; the services and accommodations prisons prov…
The effects of clinical and scientific expert testimony on juror decision making in capital sentencing
The effects of clinical and scientific expert testimony on juror decision making in capital sentencing
The Supreme Court and many state courts have assumed that jurors are capable of differentiating less accurate clinical opinion expert testimony from expert testimony based on more sound scientific footing and of appropriately weighing these two types of testimony in their decisions. Persuasion and jury decision-making research, however, both suggest that this assumption is dubious. The authors investigated whether mock jurors are more influenced …

The science of infanticide and mental illness
Women who murder their children have been the subject of intensive media and public scrutiny. Reactions have varied from horror at the cruelty of the act to sympathy for the perpetrator, based on the belief that the mother must have been severely mentally disordered or at least suffering from a diminished mental capacity at the time of the offense. As a result, the English and American legal systems have adopted very different legal responses to …
A critical reappraisal of divorce mediation research and policy
Because of the many problems associated with litigating divorce disputes, mediation has been proposed as an alternative. Its proponents, claiming wide-ranging benefits for both the litigants and the legal system, have had tremendous success in advancing mediation in social policy. This article critically assesses the validity of these claimed benefits. The article first considers the role of pro se representation and its potential consequences fo…

Developmental Differences in Infants and Policy on Undocumented Mexican American Parents
The development of United States citizen infants with undocumented alien parents (UDOC, N = 24) was compared with the development of infants with documented alien or Hispanic American parents (DOC, N = 47). To assess the developmental differences, a closed-end demographic and environmental variab-le questionnaire and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) were used. Most of the demographic and environmental variables which could have infl…
