Abstract
The Judgment Analysis Technique (JAN) was successfully utilized in capturing both specific and complex policies regarding pornographic material. More specifically, the JAN technique captured 39 out of 59 usable policies in identifying the pornographic material present for three groups of judges (lawyers, policemen, graduate students). The variety of policies present suggests that although the question of what is pornographic is not a simple one with a readily available solution, the JAN technique is probably more effective than any other analysis when investigating the composition of pornographic material.Keywords
