2025 Ware-Johnk Lecture Series on Psychological Science
Crime Control Theater: What Does The Public Think & Can Their Attitudes Be Changed

Speaker

Daniel A. Krauss, JD, PhD, ABPP 

Amber Alerts, Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Laws, 3 Strike Laws, and Safe Haven Laws

This talk explores why these laws are so popular despite the fact that they appear to be empirical failures and unsuccessful. Additionally, these policies are relatively immune to attempts to change the public's view towards them.

The presented research and talk will explore the public's views of support for crime control theater laws as well as whether the public also thinks these policies are effective. Further, it will discuss additional research that examines psychology-based interventions targeted to change the public's attitudes toward these laws.
