Beliefs and expectancies influence our everyday thoughts, feelings,
and actions. These attributes make a closer examination of beliefs
and expectancies worthwhile in any context, but particularly so
within the high-stakes arena of the legal system. Whether the
decision maker is a police officer assessing the truthfulness of an
alibi, a juror evaluating the accuracy of an eyewitness
identification, an attorney arguing a case involving a juvenile
offender, or a judge deciding whether to terminate parental
rights-these decisions matter and without doubt are influenced by
beliefs and expectancies. This volume is comprised of research on
beliefs and expectancies regarding alibis, children's behaviour
while testifying, eyewitness testimony, confessions, sexual assault
victims, judges' decisions in child protection cases, and
attorneys' beliefs about jurors' perceptions of juvenile offender
culpability. Areas for future research are identified, and readers
are encouraged to discover new ways that beliefs and expectancies
operate in the legal system. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Psychology, Crime & Law.
