Abstract
Description
The Death Penalty has been around since the beginning of our country and continues to be the most sever form of punishment that a criminal can receive; however, even in this highly scrutinized process, bias opinions may still exist. In this poster we will use statistical analysis to show how the race of a person can affect their convictions involving the death penalty and hopefully give some possible reasons for these discrepancies.
