Assisted reproductive technology (ART) allows people who are infertile the opportunity to conceive children and form much desired families. Over the past few decades, the number of ART procedures conducted in the United States has steadily increased, in part affected by the growing number of women trying to conceive later in their reproductive lives. This demographic shift in baby making has widened to include a variety of other people who experience social infertility, from single persons to same-sex couples. Media exposure and political attention to the use of ART have aroused public concern and controversy. In Assisted Reproduction, Alexandra E. Sigillo and Monica K. Miller explore how media, personal differences, societal influences, and psychological processes shape community sentiment toward ART and ART-related laws and policies. This book is recommended for students and scholars of psychology, sociology, gender and women's studies, communication studies, public health, and legal studies.

Religion in Criminal Justice (Criminal Justice: Recent Scholarship)

Miller demonstrates how religion affects every aspect of the judicial system by focusing on religious appeals by attorneys in closing arguments of death penalty sentencing trials. She explores whether these appeals lead jurors to make legally impermissible decisions, as some courts have feared. Can religious appeals lead jurors to rely on the Bible instead of state law? Her results show that the more participants relied on Biblical authority, the more they relied on their instincts and the less they relied on evidence and judge’s instructions. Gender, devotionalism, belief in a literal Biblical interpretation, and an individual’s cognitive processing style also affected verdicts.

Research has indicated that breastfeeding benefits children, mothers, and society as a whole. The U.S. government has established policies that promote breastfeeding. There is a clear need for theory-based programs that increase breastfeeding in order to reach the government's goals. The studies represented in this book expand psychological theory and make suggestions for the design and implementation of such programs. This book is a first-step at promoting a healthier, more productive society through breastfeeding in accordance with the government's Healthy People program goals.
