Dennis J. Devine. Jury decision
making: the state of the science. New York University Press, 2012. KF8972.D48 2012 While
jury decision making has received considerable attention from social
scientists, there have been few efforts to systematically pull together all
the pieces of this research. In Jury Decision Making, Dennis J. Devine
examines over 50 years of research on juries and offers a "big
picture" overview of the field. The volume summarizes existing theories
of jury decision making and identifies what we have learned about jury
behavior, including the effects of specific courtroom practices, the nature
of the trial, the characteristics of the participants, and the evidence
itself. Making use of those foundations, Devine offers a new integrated
theory of jury decision making that addresses both individual jurors and
juries as a whole. |

Anthony Walsh & Jonathon D. Bolen. The neurobiology of
criminal behavior: gene-brain-culture interaction. Ashgate, 2012. HV6080.W235
2012 The Neurobiology of Criminal Behavior examines the neurobiology of crime from a
biosocial perspective. It suggests that it is necessary to understand some
genetics and neuroscience in order to appreciate and apply relevant concepts
to criminological issues. Presenting up-to-date information on the circuitry
of the brain, the authors explore and examine a variety of characteristics,
traits and behavioral syndromes related to criminal behavior such as ADHD,
intelligence, gender, the age-crime curve, schizophrenia, psychopathy,
violence and substance abuse. |
