One aspect of this  bias is juror bias. While research has explored the  implication of just world beliefs in juror bias in  civil trials, very few have looked at this variable  in sentencing decisions toward criminal defendants.  The current study looks at the relationship between  just world beliefs, ethnicity, and juror bias.  European and Hispanic American participants  were given a case vignette of a criminal defendant  found guilty for a crime. The ethnicity of the  defendant was manipulated. Participants were asked  to act as if they were jurors and assign a sentence  they felt fair and just for the crime committed.  The model developed to predict juror bias as  measured by the Attitudes Toward the Punishment of  Criminals scale neared significance at the .053  level. An interesting finding was the random  assignment of the ethnicity of the defendant. Juror  participants held more punitive attitudes toward  European American defendants, than either Hispanic  American or African defendants, as measured by the  ATPC scale, p = 0.01.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838373423\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJust World Beliefs, Ethnicity, and Juror Bias\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838373423","offer_id":39498944675933,"sku":"9783838373423","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/7bfd902f-7bf1-451c-b58e-ebe9f3d6ce63.jpg?v=1775194972","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/american-criminal-justice-von-melinda-haley","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
