Racial Disparities in Victim Compensation
Families of Black homicide victims face higher denial rates for victim compensation claims, despite being more likely to file, according to a Rutgers Health study.
The study, published in Race and Justice, analyzed data from nearly 60,000 homicide victim compensation claims across 18 U.S. states from 2015 to 2023.
Researchers found that racial disparities in approval rates persisted even after accounting for factors like gender, state, and application year.
These systems often perpetuate racial inequities in access to financial assistance.
Author's summary: Racial disparities persist in victim compensation for homicide survivors.
