Matters of Criminal Justice System
October 13th, 2021
Psychology matters in the criminal justice system, so here are a few things you might consider. Criminal profiling does not always help police, but when it does what type of profile seems to matter and is it really psychology or is it more physical things that profiles include (a person’s job, or where they live) that seems most helpful to police? Or you could focus on how jury perceptions of victims matter in trails, or whether judges can train jurors to disregard irrelevant personal factors about victims, and so on. **thesis must be clear, contestable, and based off this prompt**
