Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper explores the impact of the gender and race of the respondent on prejudgment in high-profile criminal cases. We are also able to explore attitudes toward the death penalty, which was an issue in many of the cases. While overall we find results similar to published national data—that is, women and blacks are less likely to judge a defendant guilty and less likely to select death as the appropriate penalty—when the race of the defendant or the characteristics of the crime are considered these results are often reversed. We develop a salience model to explain the differences. Analysis is based on an original data base—about 20,000 respondents from over 50 high-profile criminal cases, in both state and federal court, mostly in California, but with a number of cases from around the country—which allows for comparisons across several counties at one point in time, longitudinal analysis from a variety of studies in a single county, to inter-county and inter-state comparisons over a seven-year period. A combinatorial analysis is appropriate since the survey instrument is almost identical in all studies. Even the specific information relating to the case at hand is asked in the same format in each study. The sample size for each study in each county is also about the same.
