本文探讨的问题，是否死刑法规通过后，1972年最高法院的判决弗曼诉格鲁吉亚成功地消除了死刑案件中的种族差异。1976年和1977年，佛罗里达州20个县的600多起凶杀案被调查，重点是陌生人之间的凶杀案（非主要凶杀案）。被指控谋杀白人的人比被指控谋杀黑人的人更有可能被判处死刑。这一趋势主要是由于被控谋杀白人的人被控一级谋杀的可能性更高。当控制受害者的种族时，数据并不清楚地支持这样的假设，即被告的种族与一级谋杀罪起诉或判处死刑的可能性密切相关。（摘自《美国社会学评论》，1981年）版权所有© 1981年由美国社会学协会）种族差异种族因素种族歧视矫正决策量刑刑事司法系统死刑死刑黑白比较高加索人成年高加索人罪犯高加索人暴力非裔美国人成年非裔美国人罪犯非裔美国人暴力杀人犯1970年代07-02
This paper explores the question of whether death penalty statutes passed after the 1972 Supreme Court decision in Furman v. Georgia successfully eliminate racial disparities in capital cases. Over 600 homicide indictments in twenty Florida counties in 1976 and 1977 were examined, focusing on homicides between strangers (nonprimary homicides). Those accused of murdering whites are more likely to be sentenced to death than those accused of murdering blacks. This trend is due primarily to the higher probability for those accused of murdering whites to be indicted for first degree murder. When controlling for race of the victim, the data do not clearly support the hypothesis that race of the defendant is strongly associated with the probability of a first degree murder indictment or the imposition of the death penalty.
