Fundamental Retribution Error: Criminal Justice and the Social Psychology of Blame

At least since the M'Naghten case of the 1840s,' Anglo- American criminal law has concerned itself closely, famously, and contentiously with the psychology of the accused. Another significant body of scholarship addresses the psychology of juries, and other valuable research has approached...

This Article undertakes that investigation. It brings research on the psychology of social cognition to bear on the decision-making processes of public officials charged with the administration of criminal justice. The psychological research suggests that these decision makers, like most other human beings, are likely to overestimate the causal significance of personal choice, and to correspondingly underestimate the causal significance of situational factors in the behavior of others.
