“…Some courtroom researchers focus on materialities . An important example of this kind of work is Latour’s The making of law (Latour, 2013), an empirical application of his actor-network theory. The theory lays the conceptual basis for studying the role of materialities in judicial proceedings.…”

This paper addresses terrorism trials as sites of research and proposes an approach for the analysis of ethnographic data collected during these trials. The suggested approach offers multi-level analytical access, it centers around interactionist conceptions and knowledge discourses. The conceptual framework we suggest is spelled out in terms of how to observe and being sensitive of (re-)production of power structures inside the courtroom as well as in regard to relations imported into the courtroom. For this purpose, we integrate (i) the micro-level of courtroom interactions and (ii) (self-)presentation, (iii) the meso-level of knowledge (re)production and the establishment of knowledge orders and (iv) an intersectional perspective on gender, race, and class in knowledge discourses. By applying a multi-level approach, we open up new explanatory avenues to understand the constitution of terrorism as a socio-legal object. The methodical framework connects hitherto unconnected elements, that is, participants’ interactions and negotiation, their (self-)representations, ascriptions and narrative performances, and knowledge (re-)production in order to establish or maintain political and social orders.

“…Psychopathic individuals are characterized by a lack of remorse or shame, empathy, and responsibility, but also by high impulsiveness, deceptiveness, poor behavioral control, egocentrism, and the susceptibility to antisocial behavior (Cleckley 1941(Cleckley , 1976. As women commit fewer crimes than men (Leuschner 2020) and are naturally thought to be compassionate, emotional, and selfless (e.g., Connell and Pearse 2015), it is not surprising that, historically, most research on psychopathy focused on males, whereas females have long been neglected in this context. Only in the last two decades has research on female psychopathy increased.…”

Structural differences in psychopathy between women and men: a latent modeling perspective

Research on sex differences in psychopathy indicates that men generally exhibit higher psychopathy scores than women. Measurement equivalence is an important prerequisite for the investigation of mean differences, but is often neglected for psychopathy instruments. The current research provides a systematic qualitative review of the pertinent literature on measurement invariance between men and women for several rater-based and self-report-based psychopathy assessments. Based on 28 studies, we found that the factor structure and factor loadings are most likely comparable between sexes for four out of nine instruments. Results on item thresholds, however, are inconsistent, which questions the comparability of mean scores between men and women for these instruments. The majority of studies that reported acceptable measurement equivalence indicated higher psychopathy scores among men compared to women. As the current literature is neither consistent nor exhaustive, further research needs to address structural differences in psychopathy between biological sexes more systematically.
