Assessing the impact of planned social change

Historical representations explicitly depicting Blacks as apelike have largely disappeared in the United States, yet a mental association between Blacks and apes remains. Here, the authors demonstrate that U.S. citizens implicitly associate Blacks and apes. In a series of laboratory studies, the authors reveal how this association influences study participants' basic cognitive processes and significantly alters their judgments in criminal justice contexts. Specifically, this Black-ape association alters visual perception and attention, and it increases endorsement of violence against Black suspects. In an archival study of actual criminal cases, the authors show that news articles written about Blacks who are convicted of capital crimes are more likely to contain ape-relevant language than news articles written about White convicts. Moreover, those who are implicitly portrayed as more apelike in these articles are more likely to be executed by the state than those who are not. The authors argue that examining the subtle persistence of specific historical representations such as these may not only enhance contemporary research on dehumanization, stereotyping, and implicit processes but also highlight common forms of discrimination that previously have gone unrecognized.

Not yet human: Implicit knowledge, historical dehumanization, and contemporary consequences.

Researchers previously have investigated the role of race in capital sentencing, and in particular, whether the race of the defendant or victim influences the likelihood of a death sentence. In the present study, we examined whether the likelihood of being sentenced to death is influenced by the degree to which a Black defendant is perceived to have a stereotypically Black appearance. Controlling for a wide array of factors, we found that in cases involving a White victim, the more stereotypically Black a defendant is perceived to be, the more likely that person is to be sentenced to death.

The Use of Peremptory Challenges in Capital Murder Trials: A Legal and Empirical Analysis

During the last 20 years, a substantial number of empirical studies -most prominent among them the work of criminologist Thorsten Sellin-have concluded that the death penalty has no measurable deterrent effect beyond that of life imprisonment.' A recent study by Isaac Ehrlich, an economist, challenges this traditional view. Ehrlich criticizes Sellin's statistical methods and, on the basis of a more complex statistical procedure, estimates that \"an additional execution per year over the period in question [1933-1969] may have resulted, on average, in 7 or 8 fewer murders.\"3 In Fowler v. North Carolina, 4 the constitutional challenge to the death penalty now pending in the Supreme Court, the Solicitor General presented Ehrlich's findings to the Court and in his amicus brief cited them as \"important empirical support for the a priori logical belief that use of the death penalty decreases the number of murders.\"5 The Solicitor General asserted that earlier studies, and specifically those of Sellin, suffered from \"investigatory flaws\" and that only Ehrlich's work provided a reliable basis for judging whether the death penalty has a deterrent effect.0 Now that Fowler has been set for reargument, 7 an assessment of the Solicitor General's claims has particular importance. A statistical study cannot prove that executions deter murders, nor
