Does carceral status signal fitness for jury service? An exploratory study of the state’s role in shaping public opinion
In the United States, a felony criminal conviction often reduces or eliminates opportunities to take part in civic and social life. One such record-based restriction impacts juror eligibility for those with a felony criminal history. In 2020, the Governor of Iowa began automatically restoring the civil rights of those convicted of a felony upon completion of their sentence, creating a new carceral status and thus, offering an optimal context to e…
Intent, harm, and the law: Examining the intersection of varied intent and outcome severity on legal judgments
OBJECTIVE: This research examined how people reason about intended and unintended harms commonly adjudicated in the U.S. legal system, exploring the impact of a causal actor's intent and resultant harm severity on individuals' legally relevant judgments. HYPOTHESES: We hypothesized that participants would reliably differentiate between variations in unintended harm, with blame, guilt, liability, and punishment judgments increasing across a contin…
The reasonable officer standard: Perceptions of reasonableness and legal decision making
OBJECTIVE: We explored how the reasonable officer standard aligns with the use-of-force judgments. HYPOTHESES: Reasonable officer standard-related factors of civilian resistance and civilian injury would impact participant judgments in ways inconsistent with reasonable officer standard-based policy. Given a scenario of legally reasonable force, participants would find an officer's actions less reasonable and attribute more punishment when the civ…
Attitudes Towards Police Legitimacy and Mock Grand Juror Indictment Decisions in Cases of Lethal Force
Two experiments examined the potentially interactive effects of shooter identity (police officer vs. civilian) and unarmed victim race (Black vs. White) on grand juror decision‐making. In Experiments 1 ( N = 350) and 2 ( N = 344), mock grand jurors read and listened to mock testimony detailing the shooting by a police officer or civilian of an unarmed suspect (Black vs. White) and rendered an indictment decision. Those who chose to indict then se…
If negligence is intentionality’s cousin, recklessness is it’s sibling: Differentiating negligence and recklessness from accidents and intentional harm
Civil juror compensation and judgments of police use of force at the intersection of race and mental illness
More than 53 million people come in contact with police each year, with people of color and those with mental illness (MI) being subjected to increased rates of contact. Sometimes police and civilian interactions have fatal outcomes, and these populations are disproportionately affected. As a result, families of these victims sometimes seek monetary compensation through civil litigation. The current study sought to understand how victim race and …
