In the Jury Box: Controversies in the Courtroom by Lawrence S. Wrightsman
Psychologists and social scientists have recently undertaken systematic studies of the processes involved in the jurors role in the courtroom. In the Jury Box is a collection of articles from the accumulating professional literature reflecting research into challenging issues such as: Does jury selection `work? Are jurors able to make unbiased judgements? Should complex cases be determined by an experienced judge rather than inexperienced laypersons? There are four sections, each on a different aspect of the jury process, and each containing an introduction and summary written by the volume editors to place it in an appropriate context and provide conclusions.
