Using the Baldus, Woodworth, and Pulaski (1990) data, the current study responds to Holcomb, Williams, and Demuth’s (2004) challenge for researchers to consider the potential joint effects of victim race and gender on death penalty outcomes as well as contributes to a growing body of research that notes the importance of exploring the impact of multiple defendant and victim statuses on sentencing outcomes (e.g., Steffensmeier, Ulmer, and Kramer, 1998). We find that, in addition to victim race, victim gender is also an important predictor of death sentence outcomes. Defendants who murder females are more likely to receive a death sentence than defendants who murder males. Furthermore, we show that large differences exist in the likelihood of receiving a death sentence when the variables ―victim race and ―victim gender are considered jointly. Cases that involve white female victims are treated the most harshly, and cases that involve black male victims are treated the most leniently. Importantly, it seems that the outcomes of black male victim cases are the most divergent; fewer differences exist among the other three victim race–gender case types.
