Answer:

Forensic psychologists, that is psychologists that specialize in psychological evaluation and treatment, especially in legal cases have become commonplace in death penalty cases ever since the Supreme Court ruled that capital sentencing must be based on the individual offense and the perpetrator of the crime. What this means, in essence, is that psychological factors among others must be considered as it could possibly influence jury decision.

The importance of forensic psychologists in the death penalty was greatly highlighted after the Supreme Court decided in 2002 that the use of the death penalty for mentally unstable people was unconstitutional. If an accused is deemed mentally unfit by a psychologist, such a person cannot face the death sentence. This goes on to underline the importance of the psychologists' assessments in death penalty cases.

The correct answer is subculture

The notion of subculture is quite common in sociology and anthropology. The concept is used to refer to a group of people, usually a minority, with a set of specific characteristics (behaviors and beliefs), which represents a subdivision within a dominant culture of your community.

In order for us to better understand the concept of subculture, it is first important that we know what culture means. And for that we must make an analysis as to the broader notion of that term.
