Download Explaining the "Female Victim Effect" in Capital Sentencing Decisions Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The potential influence of extralegal characteristics on the outcome of post-Furman capital cases (1972) has been a focus of criminal justice researchers and legal scholars. Much of this literature has assessed the impact of victim and defendant race on the likelihood of receiving the death penalty while a relatively underdeveloped body of research focuses on how victim sex may affect capital sentencing decisions. The present study uses focal concerns theory and the chivalry hypothesis to test the potential mediating effect of theoretical variables on the relationship between victim sex and juror capital sentence decision-making. In addition, it uses victim sex specific logistic regression models to examine if different theoretical and/or control variables are important predictors of receiving the death penalty for male victim cases versus female victim cases. Findings demonstrate that victim rape mediates the relationship between victim sex and juror death penalty decision-making. In addition, findings reveal that sex specific models better explain juror decision making than the full model including victims of both sexes and that different extralegal and legal characteristics predict juror decision to choose the death penalty in cases with male victims versus female victims. Theoretical and legal implications as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Download The Death Penalty Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Is the death penalty a deterrent? Is it applied disproportionately to certain ethnic groups? How harsh is life on death row? In this expanded new edition the author examines these and other controversial issues, draws conclusions from the current research, and discusses their implication for social policy. Topics such as capital punishment policies around the world, executions in the United States, public opinion on the death penalty, juries and the death penalty, and economic analyses of the deterrent factor all receive comprehensive coverage. Appendices round out this newly revised and updated text with studies on public attitudes toward rape and capital punishment, and the deterrent effect of executions on the homicide rate in the United States.
