520 |a "As societies increasingly grapple with managing cultural diversity, one mechanism that is gaining ground is the use of cultural experts -most frequently anthropologists -to provide testimony about a defendant's cultural background. Much like forensic or ballistic analysis, this testimony enters the legal process as judicial evidence. Despite its widespread use in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Oceania, relatively little is known about how this cultural evidence is employed, and to what effect.
