The purpose of the investigation was to see if the physical attractiveness of a defendant has an influence of the severity of prison sentences given for a crime of fraud.
An opportunity sample consisting of 10 males and 10 females taken from sixth form students at school aged 16-18 was used. A crime vignette was given to participants with a photo of the physically attractive defendant or physically un attractive defendant attached. Participants had to state whether they thought the defendant was guilty or not guilty. Participants were then told that the defendants were found guilty and were asked to assign a prison term that they felt the defendant deserved.
The Chi-Square and T-Test were used to analyse the results. Observed Value of T= 30.88: Critical value at p<0.05 is 1.734. It was concluded that the physical attractive defendants were given shorter prison sentences than the physically un attractive defendants.
The aim is to see if Sigall & Ostrove’s (1975) findings that the physical attractiveness of a defendant and the nature of the crime can lead to differing sentences are applicable to this current time period.
Alternative hypothesis: The more attractive defendant will receive a lower sentence for burglary than the less attractive defendant.
Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference in length of sentences given to the attractive defendant and the non attractive defendant.
A directional hypothesis is being used as past research by Sigall & Ostrove’s (1975) has shown that physical attractiveness does have an effect on the length of a sentence giving to the defendant.
The chosen research method will be experimental using an independent measures design. So each group will be tested in a different condition one group will be shown a picture with a physically attractive defendant and the other group will see a picture with a non attractive defendant.
