Jury diversity research has barely examined non-Black minority groups or inter-minority deliberation

Evidence

Future research on jury deliberations could explore a variety of different avenues. First, Hunt (2017) has suggested studying a broader range of racial/ ethnic groups and how racial bias in mock jury decisions might impact different groups in fundamentally different ways. The same critique could be made for jury diversity studies. Even more so, each racial/ethnic group has different associations with, and views on, the CJS (Overby et al., 2005; Weitzer & Tuch, 2005). Additionally, different minority groups experience different types of stigmatization in terms of their association with crime (e.g., Correll et al., 2002). Therefore, each racial/ethnic group may bring different experiences to the jury room when it comes to deliberation. Very little research has been performed examining the impact of racial/ethnic diversity other than Black diversity (cf. β€” Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 912
