And statistics show that more caucasian prisoners are put to death than African American or Hispanic .
82% of the murder victims in death penalty cases are white, 13% are black,* a 6:1 ratio (NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF), 1996). Interestingly, whites represent 56% of those executed, and blacks 38% (NAACP LDF, Summer 1996) when blacks have committed 47% of all murders, and whites 38%. Whites are executed at rates nearly 50% above their involvement in murder, blacks are executed at rates 20% below their involvement in murder. From 1991-94, 34% of murderers have been white, 54% black (Special run 1980-94 BJS data, 1/13/97
Women represent 1% of all executions, however women prison populations are nowhere near as high as men's. There is 1 womens prison to every 5 men's. Ratio of men to women on death row? 68:1. | I wonder where Casey Anthony is going to live? Will she leave this country?
