Description
Much past research has studied racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. Past research in 1983 by Sunnafrank and Fontes studied facial images and crimes and matched faces and crimes to correlate stereotypical crimes. Later research in 2003 by Jones and Kaplan furthered this research by comparing stereotypical crimes and non-stereotypical crimes. This study furthers Jones and Kaplan’s study by comparing different stereotypical crimes for the black defendant and not comparing a non-stereotypical crime.
