Preferred term

impact of statistical information on juries  

Definition

  • Statistical information is increasingly likely to be presented in court. It may appear in civil cases (e.g., percentages of men and women employees in a gender discrimination case) or criminal cases (e.g., the defendant's blood type matches that of a sample found at the crime scene and that blood type is found in only 20% of the population).
