The Conviction Threshold Sample Clauses

The Conviction Threshold. Logistic regression models allow examination of conviction as a function of multiple factors, including strength of evidence. The dependent variable in the models is conviction. To allow simultaneous consideration of both adju- dicators’ conviction propensity, as well as other factors, the data are organ- ized as two observations of each trial, one observation by the judge and one observation by the jury. The dependent variable “convict” is coded as 1 for the jury observation if the jury did convict and for the judge observation if the judge would have convicted. It is coded 0 for the jury observation if the jury did not convict and for the judge observation if the judge would not have convicted. To capture the adjudicator effect, the models include a judge dummy variable. It is coded 1 for all the judicial observations of the data. Since each case is “observed” twice, four possible combinations of values of the “convict” variable and the judge dummy variable exist. If judge and jury agree on conviction, “convict” is 1 for both values (0 and 1) of the judge dummy variable. If the judge would convict but the jury acquitted, the judge observation of the trial would have “convict” equal to 1 and the jury observation of the trial (for which the judge dummy variable is 0) would have “convict” equal to 0. If the jury convicted but the judge would have acquitted in the same case, the judge observation of the trial would have “convict” equal to 0 and the jury observation of the trial (for which the judge dummy variable is 0) would have “convict” equal to 1. If judge and jury agree on acquittal, “convict” is 0 for both values (0 and 1) of the judge dummy variable. Table 8 enumerates the possible coding combinations of the key variables—“Convict” and “Judge Xxxxx”—in four hypothetical trials. To explore whether judge and jury conviction thresholds differ, while holding other factors constant, the variable of key interest is the judge dummy explanatory variable. Except for the judge dummy variable, the explanatory variables for the two observations of each case are identical. The dependent variable, “Convict,” can also vary across the two observers of each case, judge and jury.
