Racial Disparities in Victim Compensation
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 claims from 18 U.S. states from 2015 to 2023, using data from nearly 60,000 homicide victim compensation claims.
Researchers controlled for factors like gender, state, and application year, and still found racial disparities in approval rates and denial reasons.
Although victim compensation programs aim to support victims and families after violent crime, they often perpetuate racial inequities in access to financial assistance.
Author's summary: Racial disparities persist in victim compensation for homicide survivors.
