I am very excited to formally announce the launch of a new and exciting initiative - Applied Police Briefings (APB). 1/n

Super interesting study. One key note: if someone exhibits "unexpected emotional demeanor" that has as much to do with their behavior as it does with the expectations of observers. In my case, Italians expected me to react as emotionally as they would have.
Hot off the press! 🚨🚨🚨
In a study inspired by the case of @amandaknox, we found that an unexpected emotional demeanor in a criminal investigation can heighten suspicion and perceptions of involvement, especially for women. Read it here (for free)!
