Sexually violent predator (SVP) laws use the civil commitment process to confine mentally disordered and dangerous offenders who are at high risk to reoffend. Few studies have examined how jurors decide SVP cases. As a result, a pilot study and three experimental studies were conducted, in which victim type, risk communication, and juror education were manipulated to assess juror response. Results continually illustrated that victim type was the most salient manipulation across studies and that the manner of risk communication and juror education had little impact on jurors.
性暴力捕食者（SVP）法律利用民事承诺程序来限制患有精神障碍且危险的罪犯再次犯罪。很少有研究检查过陪审员如何决定 SVP 案件。因此，进行了一项试点研究和三项实验研究，其中操纵了受害者类型、风险沟通和陪审员教育，以评估陪审员的反应。结果不断表明，受害者类型是研究中最突出的操纵因素，而风险沟通和陪审员教育的方式对陪审员几乎没有影响。
