Dr. Maeder is Director of the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice and is also cross-appointed to the Department of Psychology and the Department of Law and Legal Studies. She studies the intersection of psychology and law, with particular attention to discrimination in legal contexts.  Her current research projects include studying the effects of extralegal information  on juror decision-making, legal decision-making in NCRMD trials, and punishment attitudes and behaviour.  Her work is funded by SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada) and APLS (American Psychology-Law Society).
