Part II: An Experimental Investigation into the Theory of Meta-Responsibility: A mock juror study of the meta-responsibility theory: methodology; Quantitative data analysis and presentation of results; Discussion of results with reference to subjects' reasons for their verdicts; The meta-responsibility theory: a viable birth?; Bibliography; Legal Cases; Appendix: the measuring instrument questions; Index.
