Families of Black homicide victims are more likely to file victim compensation claims but face high denial rates, a Rutgers Health study found.
The study, published in Race and Justice, analyzed data from nearly 60,000 homicide victim compensation claims in 18 U.S. states from 2015 to 2023.
- Researchers examined racial disparities in claim approval rates.
- They controlled for factors like gender, state, and application year.
Victim compensation programs often perpetuate racial inequities in access to financial assistance.
Author's summary: Racial disparities persist in victim compensation for homicide survivors.
