AB In criminal cases, prosecutors treat defendant-authored rap lyrics as an admission of guilt rather than as art or entertainment. Do negative stereotypes about rap music shape jurors’ attitudes about the defendant, unfairly influencing outcomes? Replicating and extending previous research (Fischoff Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 29(4), 795-805, 1999; Fried Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 26(23), 2135-2146, 1996; Dunbar et al. Public Policy, and Law, 22(3), 280-292, 2016), the current study begins to address these questions.
