Procedural Reform of Jury Murder Convictions in Georgia, 1970-1978
The purpose of this data collection was to assess the impact
of the 1973 reforms of the death penalty laws on the levels of
arbitrariness and discrimination in capital sentencing in Georgia. The
data cover two different periods corresponding to the periods before
and after the reform: 1970-1972 and 1973-1978. Numerous measures of
defendant blameworthiness were developed as a basis for assessing
levels of arbitrariness and discrimination in Georgia's capital
charging and sentencing system. Specific variables include race, sex,
current offense, prior conviction and arrests, method of killing, and
number of victims.
