Topic: Rulings and Data

Thread: In Chapter 1, the author outlines the differences in the Cultures of Psychology and the Legal System by explaining the differences between rulings and data.

One of these explanations is that precedents influence current rulings in cases.

Discuss the possibility of cases for which there are no precedents and cases for which new laws are being enacted, such as gay marriage and child custody. Who has the rights to the child when both parents are mothers? Fathers? What about marriage between a naturally born male or female and a postoperative gender reassigned male or female? What happens in cases for which there are no precedents? How would students rule if they were judges?

High-profile cases capture the attention of the American public. Follow the link to the NBC news story on the trial of James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado theater shooter. Read the article, which includes a news video and answer the following questions.

James Holmes Trial

1. Are stories like this an accurate representation of crimes committed in the United States or are they rare?
2. High profile trials take months and cost millions of dollars, while similar crimes that do not capture the public’s attention, take a fraction of the time, and cost much less to prosecute. Does media access and coverage of investigations and court proceedings have a positive or negative effect on justice?
3. Should criminal trials be broadcast or should there be restrictions on cameras in the courtroom?
4. Does the news media provide an accurate representation of statistical data surrounding crime?
5. Are you more likely to be murdered by a stranger or someone you know?

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

1. What factors account for crime rate trends?
2. What factors are present in poverty-stricken urban areas that produce high crime rates?
3. It seems logical that biological and psychological factors might explain why some people commit crimes. But if the crime is based on individual traits, how would we explain the fact that crime rates are higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and East?
