Comparing this result to previous research, a notable difference in the conclusions is apparent. The uneven distribution of women in each group and the small amount of women who participated in our survey were ultimately this thesis's shortcoming. Further research into this topic with larger sample sizes is imperative to understanding such a complex and crucial aspect of our judicial system. (Less)
