Table 1, model 3, contains the results of the first reexamination of the original data with a victim gender variable added. Results indicate that the effect of victim race remains statistically significant (and actually increases slightly) after adding victim gender to the model. Homicides that involve a white victim are significantly more likely to result in a death sentence than homicides that involve a nonwhite victim after controlling for important legal factors (odds ratio = 5.13). Importantly, victim gender also has an impact on the likelihood of receiving a death sentence. The odds of receiving a death sentence are 2.66 times higher for defendants who kill a female victim than for defendants who kill a male victim. Thus, although it was excluded from the original core model by Baldus, Woodworth, and Pulaski (1990), victim gender, and not just victim race, is a significant predictor of death sentence outcomes. However, it is notable that the victim gender effect is smaller than the victim race effect. Next, we present the results of regression analyses that examine the joint effects of victim gender and race on death penalty outcomes.
