Economist examines the role stereotypes play in the the justice system.
Crimes and punishments take place under pressure and often with uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people behave in the heat of the moment, Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes, Crime, and the Pursuit of Justice reveals the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making.
The Program Room opens at 6 PM.
