Journal Article
A MODEL OF DECISIONMAKING IN CAPITAL JURIES
2001
Overview
Juror characteristics correlating with a bias in favor of the death penalty were studied using survey data from 331 jurors in a selected juror pool in 2 LA parishes. The hypothesis that resistance to the death penalty is correlated with Democratic party affiliation, liberal ideology, minority status, & higher educational & occupational levels was tested with regression analysis. The only significant predictor of resistance was black racial identity; party identity, & income dropped out as significant predictors after race. Overall opposition to capital punishment was low. Jurors' perceptions of the length of a life sentence & death penalty bias were not correlated. It is concluded that the racial composition of a jury is of great importance in capital cases. 3 Tables.
