PSYCH-267 Psychological Bias in the Justice System
How does group membership (e.g., sex, race, mental health status) 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. Does not count toward the Psychology or Neuroscience concentration or the Psychology minor.
