Blacks and whites are murdered in about equal numbers, but what happens to their killers can be far different. Those who murder whites are much more likely to be executed than killers of blacks, Amnesty International USA said Wednesday. The human rights organization, which opposes the death penalty, said 80 percent of the 845 people executed since the United States resumed the practice in 1977 were put to death for killing whites.
In this 2012 study criminologist Scott Phillips examines whether or not racial disparities continue during the administration of Harris County District Attorney, Charles Rosenthal who was in office from January 1, 2001 to February 15, 2008. Previous research suggested that the impact of defendant race disappeared. But this study shows that the impact of victim race continued: death sentences were imposed on behalf of white victims at 2.5 times the rate one would expect if the system were blind to race, and death sentences were imposed on behalf of white female victims at 5 times the rate one would expect if the system were blind to race and gender.
