联合王国的研究发现,某些口音被视为更具有犯罪性质,有可能对司法系统产生偏见。 UK study finds certain accents seen as more criminal, potentially biasing justice system.

剑桥大学最近的一项研究表明,联合王国的某些地区口音,特别是利物浦和布拉德福德的口音,被认为更有可能实施犯罪,可能导致刑事司法系统中的偏见。 A recent study by Cambridge University reveals that certain regional accents in the UK, particularly those from Liverpool and Bradford, are perceived as more likely to commit crimes, potentially leading to bias in the criminal justice system. 涉及180人的研究发现,除性犯罪外,使用“poh”获得发音口音的发言者被视为实施大多数犯罪的可能性最低,但性犯罪除外。 The research, involving 180 participants, found that speakers with a "posh" Received Pronunciation accent were seen as least likely to commit most crimes, except for sexual offenses. 这表明,基于口音的定型观念可能会不公平地影响警察、律师和陪审团的判决。 This suggests that accent-based stereotypes could unfairly influence judgments by police, lawyers, and juries.
