Handbook of Psychology and Law

And indeed, the courts have accorded a role to social perceptions and attitudes in their reviews of constitutional issues. “Contemporary community standards” have been considered in judicial reviews concerning First Amendment freedom of expression and standards of obscenity (Marks v. United States, 1977; Smith v. United States, 1977).
