Niet alleen het nieuws verandert steeds, ook de manier waarop het vorm krijgt in de krant. In 1970, na de fusie tussen NRC en het Handelsblad, was de krant zwart-wit met loodgezette letters. Inmiddels ligt er een full-colour, digitaal geproduceerd medium, dat ook op internet, e-reader en iPad te lezen is. Sinds 2006 is er bovendien nrc.next met een eigen formaat, beeldtaal en lay-out. Scherpe Letters schetst de veranderende vorm van de krant en diverse bijlagen, de ontwikkeling van techniek en nieuwe manieren waarop lezers informatie tot zich willen nemen. Met veel illustraties en een korte historie van de bekendste NRC-strips: Ollie B. Bommel, Kamagurka en Fokke en Sukke. In oktober-december zal over dit onderwerp een tentoonstelling te zien zijn in museum De Lakenhal in Leiden. Het jubileum krijgt ruim aandacht in NRC Handelsblad.

How jurors come to a verdict in a trial is a fascinating topic with many unexpected aspects. Inside the Juror presents the most interesting and sophisticated work to date on juror decision making from several traditions--social psychology, behavioral decision theory, cognitive psychology, and behavioral modeling. The authors grapple with crucial questions, such as: Why jurors who hear the same evidence and arguments in the courtroom enter the jury room with disagreements about the proper verdict and how biases and prejudices affect jurors' decisions. And just how "rational" is the typical juror? As an introduction to the scientific study of juror decision making in criminal trials, Inside the Juror provides a comprehensive and understandable summary of the major theories of juror decision making and the research that has been conducted to evaluate their validity.

The book is divided into three sections which examine: * The shift from criminology to the sociology of law. * The shift from treating law as a tool of reform to
