Abstract

The proposed study will examine racial stereotypes for different types of crimes. Participants will read crime descriptions and choose who they believe most likely committed the crime. We predict participants will choose their answer based on previously held stereotypes. Findings will contribute to both the stereotyping and legal psychology literatures.
