Biography

Gianni is a Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at The University of Queensland.

Gianni is interested in research relating to the role evidence in legal decision-making. How do jurors and other legal decision-makers understand forensic evidence? How can we improve their understanding? How should forensic experts (e.g., fingerprint examiners) testify about their decisions and expertise in a way that will enable jurors to understand and evaluate the evidence appropriately? Gianni is also interested in exploring the role of contextual relationship evidence (for an overview, see: Tidmarsh, Powell, & Darwinkel, 2012) in helping jurors to understand the complexities of gendered violence offending and overcome common stereotypes.
