Abstract The purpose of my project is to see and investigate how different psychological methods can affect the decisions, behaviours and more within the legal system. The aim is to find ways to remove/minimize bias or effects that could negatively affect the results in a courtroom. This way it’s much more fair and false sentences are much less likely.
