It is not known how the presumption of innocence performs as a trial safeguard to protect the innocent accused. The aim of this project is to investigate lay formulations of the presumption and assess their impact on evidence interpretation and applications of the standard of proof. This project is significant because it will, for the very first time, provide robust empirical evidence regarding the extent to which the presumption is applied in a manner consistent with the fair trial values of adversarial criminal justice. The project will apply cognitive science methods and theories to the quantification of the presumption, providing necessary insights into the functioning of a vital safeguard against wrongful convictions.

不知道无罪推定如何作为保护无辜被告的审判保障。该项目的目的是调查推定的非专业表述，并评估其对证据解释和举证标准适用的影响。这一项目意义重大，因为它将首次提供强有力的经验证据，说明在多大程度上以符合对抗式刑事司法公平审判价值观的方式适用推定。该项目将应用认知科学方法和理论来量化推定，为防止错误定罪的重要保障措施的运作提供必要的见解。
