Flexon presents an interdisciplinary perspective to the problem of
racial disparities in capital case outcomes. In doing so, research
from social and cognitive psychology concerning stereotypes and
attitude influence were bridged with other empirical findings
concerning racial disparities in capital sentencing. Specifically,
the psychology of stereotypes and attitudes are used to help
explain how racial discrimination can operate undetected among
death qualified jurors while producing sentencing discrepancies.
The introduction of a potential source of bias information
concerning criminal justice and race also is offered. Results
indicate that prejudicial ideas are likely operating to influence
capital sentencing decisions.
