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, examined racial disparities in victim compensation claims among families of homicide victims across 18 U.S. states from 2015 to 2023.
- Researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 homicide victim compensation claims.
- They found racial disparities in approval rates and reasons for denial.
These systems often perpetuate racial inequities in access to financial assistance.
