商品簡介
Rather than entering the debate about whether racial bias or legal factors are responsible for racial disparities in the death sentence, Flexon (criminal justice, Florida International U.) explores how racial bias may be entering into the process of capital punishment administration, by bridging empiricism from multiple disciplines. Assuming that discrimination takes place during the imposition of capital punishment just as it does in every other facet of life, she looks in detail at the types of cases where discrimination is likely to play a role, in order to explain how discrimination can persist despite efforts to suppress it. Her focus is on psychological influences that operate on potential capital jurors. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
