Summary:

This special topic poll focused on the American criminal justice system in general and specifically on the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Respondents were asked how closely they followed recent news about O.J. Simpson and the murders he was charged with. Respondents were also asked whether the criminal justice system was biased toward persons accused or against them, how much confidence they had that the American criminal justice system generally makes the right decisions about guilt and innocence, and, when wrong decisions are made by criminal justice system, who they thought was most responsible: prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, or juries. The role of the media and whether they had been too harsh or too easy in coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial were additional topics covered. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income....
