Implicit biases refer to unconscious attitudes that influence perceptions and decisions, while explicit biases involve conscious attitudes and stereotypes. Biases can negatively impact courtroom proceedings if they influence how evidence is interpreted or defendants are perceived. Racial disparities in sentencing undermine fairness, as similar crimes may receive different punishment based on the race of the offender. The article discussed implicit biases influencing pre-trial decisions and outcomes, showing how unintentional biases permeate the justice system and must be addressed to achieve equal treatment under the law.
