    Summary note
    "Understanding World Jury Systems Through Social Psychological Research examines diverse jury systems in nations around the world. These systems are marked by unique features having critical implications for jury selection, composition, functioning, processes, and ultimately, trial outcomes. These unique features are examined by applying relevant social psychological research, models, and concepts to the central issues and characteristics of jury systems in those nations using a wide variety of jury procedures." "This volume fulfills the dual purpose of understanding the diverse practices in world juries in light of existing social psychological knowledge and applied research on juries in each nation, and outlining new research in the context of the issues raised by jury practices beyond those of North America."--Jacket.
