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 and discusses its ramifications for
the courts. Providing a unique combination of broad scope,
extensive coverage of the empirical research conducted over the
last half century, and theory advancement, this accessible and
engaging volume offers "one-stop shopping" for scholars, students,
legal professionals, and those who simply wish to better understand
how well the jury system works.
