Alexander Jay
Graduate Research Assistant
Curriculum Vitae
My research centers on decision making processes in legal contexts. Specifically, I am interested in contemporary forms of racism and how they affect decision making on juries and in capital trials. I am also interested in how ambiguous laws (e.g., sex offender registration for minors), ambiguous evidence strength, and defendant characteristics affect trials outcomes.

My past research experiences have focused on how the sexual orientation and masculinity or femininity of a juvenile sex offender affects participants' registration support for that juvenile.
