PSYCH-367 Psychological Bias in the Justice System
How does group membership (e.g., sex, race, ethnicity, religion) shape one’s experiences with the criminal justice system? Adopting a chronological approach through an exemplar criminal case (e.g., arrest, arraignment, plea bargaining, trial, sentencing, release), this course will use case law and empirical research to explore the law’s continuing efforts—and shortcomings—in addressing and decreasing bias.
