Twenty-one chapters presented by Borgida (psychology and law, U. of Minnesota) and Fiske (psychology, Princeton U.) explore gaps between lay conceptions of human behavior and pertinent psychological scientific knowledge, particularly in terms of domains that have an impact on legal systems. The volume opens with discussions of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, addressing ageism, gender prejudice, and gender stereotyping and their legal implications. Chapters then examine such topics as eyewitness identification, repressed and recovered memory, the psychology of confessions, polygraph testing, evolving standards of death penalty law, effects of and remedies for pretrial publicity, and media violence and aggression. Also included are commentaries on: the limits of science in the courtroom, research on eyewitness testimony and false confessions, research relevant to sex discrimination and sexual harassment, the importance of research design in inferences regarding work behavior, psychological contributions to evaluating witness testimony, and the role of social science in anti-discrimination law and policy.
