“…The scenario with the male offender/female victim is the one that has occupied a prominent place on the public agenda for the last few years in Turkey because of the exponential increase in femicide by intimate partners (Alat, 2006;Cetin, 2015). Considering research that indicates media coverage of crimes can result in more punitive responses (Staggs and Landreville, 2017), this may explain that participants showed more punitiveness toward male perpetrators than female perpetrators in our murder scenario. However, this difference was observed only in more gender egalitarian individuals, as consistent with other findings suggesting gender egalitarian individuals avoid minimizing the severity of male violence to a greater extent than gender traditional individuals (Ben- David and Schneider, 2005).…”

“…A crítica situação do sistema prisional brasileiro pode ser explicada por diversos fatores, um desses é o alto número de "ex-apenados" que retornam ao sistema penal e, por consequência, acarretam em uma superlotação das prisões (LOEFLER, 2013;SAPORI et al, 2017). Outro aspecto é entender as causas da reincidência criminal e de que formas essas podem ser combatidas (PHILIP; KANG, 2016;STAGGS;LANDREVILLE, 2017).…”

“…In a most recent study, Staggs and Landreville (2017) used the Colorado theater shooter case of James Holmes as a method to examine how individuals’ exposure to PTP influences (a) their perceptions of a criminal offender as malicious and (b) whether or not the defendant is deserving of a harsher punishment, finding that both (a) and (b) are increased with exposure to PTP. Similarly, exposure to varying types of PTP, such as positive versus negative or a lack thereof, have been found to affect juror perceptions of the defendant (Ruva, Guenther, & Yarbrough, 2011), specifically showing that exposure to negative PTP resulted in bias toward the prosecution, and exposure to positive PTP resulted in bias toward the defense.…”

The Netflix documentary Making a Murderer made national headlines by chronicling the conflict between Steven Avery and the Manitowoc County legal system. After spending 18 years in prison for a wrongful conviction, Avery was arrested again and found guilty of the murder of Teresa Halbach. Due to the controversial nature of the case, and the popularity associated with the documentary, this event was used to evaluate several variables that may influence judgment on decisions of a defendant's guilt or innocence. Participants (N ϭ 905) were recruited online via several social media platforms and included in the study if they acknowledged watching the documentary. They then completed an online survey containing questionnaires related to demographics (e.g., gender, ethnicity), perceptual (e.g., punitive attitudes), and psychosocial characteristics (e.g., posttraumatic stress symptom severity). The majority of participants rated both Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, also convicted in association for the crime, as innocent. Female participants reported higher ratings of guilt than males. Lower ratings of guilt were associated with lower levels of socioeconomic status, greater religious involvement, higher posttraumatic stress symptoms, and greater negative attitudes toward the judicial system. Race and political beliefs were unrelated to ratings of guilt. These results support previous research suggesting psychological and demographic variables may influence jurors' judgments of guilt in murder trials. Implications concerning maintaining impartiality among jury peers and preventing implicit biases are discussed.
