Trial level characteristics directly predict sentencing and indirectly operate through the level of group climate. Group climate is the strongest predictor of outcomes, with juries who have more positive perceptions of group climate moCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Capital punishmentUnited StatesVerdictsUnited StatesJuryUnited StatesDecision makingEvaluationDiscrimination in criminal justice administrationUnited StatesElectronic books.Capital punishmentVerdictsJuryDecision makingEvaluation.Discrimination in criminal justice administration345.73/0773Connell Nadine M.1979-990816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456662803321Death by jury2267138UNINA
