AlbertsonEl Paso, Tex. LFB Scholarly Pub.c20121 online resource (174 p.)Criminal justice : recent scholarshipDescription based upon print version of record.1-59332-450-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.The importance of jurors' race -- The impact of attitude formation on jury decision making -- Background : the science of DNA and the use of complex scientific evidence in the courts -- Scientific evidence and juror comprehension -- An analysis of jurors' race and education -- Summary of findings : the need for reform.Albertson seeks to analyze the influence of jurors' race on perceptions of complex scientific evidence. Jury eligible citizens viewed a mock criminal trial involving the presentation of mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA). White and African American mock jurors' perceptions of mtDNA were measured. Although robust findings were discovered regarding race, results imply that an educational background in science and math is important. The present study has shown the negative impact that low levels of science and math courses have on perceptions of scientific evidence.
