2 bonus questions (3 pts total, or 1. 5 pts each) Representativeness: a jury composition that represents the community where the crime occurred and is achieved through randomness. Impartiality: a lack of bias on the part of jurors. Methods for studying jury decision-making: post-trial interviews. In canada, actual jurors aren"t allowed to discuss what occurred in deliberations. Researchers can turn to the united states or other countries that don"t have this rule: archives. Records of trials, such as transcripts and police interviews of witnesses, can be reviewed to uncover relationships among variables.

Researchers simulate a trial, or aspects of it. Participants are presented with the trial information, and the researcher can vary and manipulate this trial information.
