The participants were split into 6 groups and had to rate Barbara on the different photos that they were given (attractiveness). Both crimes got similar sentences however the attractive photo was given a longer sentence for fraud rather than burglary which had a shorter sentence, showing that attractiveness had a large affect on the participants decision. In conclusion, the experiment highlights the importance that looks has on jury decision. Attractive people do get away with crime, however if they use their looks for crime, they are less likely to get away.

Procedure - 120 participants were given a piece of card with a crime written on it and a photograph of a woman known as Barbara Helms. They were split into six different groups of 20 participants. Each group saw either an attractive or an unattractive photograph of Barbara and read about a fraud or burglary she had committed.

Findings - similar length of sentence was awarded for both crimes, with both the unattractive photo  and no photo. However, the attractive photo had a big effect on the participant's decision. They thought the attractive Barbara should spend longer in prison for fraud and less time in prison for burglary

Conclusion - Highlights the importance that looks have on jury decision making. Good looking people do get away with some crimes, but if they have used their looks to commit a crime they are less likely to get away with it.
