People who endorse inequality also endorse the death penalty and torture

Evidence

The relationship between SDO and support for harsh criminal sanctions has been further confirmed by the relatively recent work on scale validation of the SDO7 instrument within seven large American samples conducted by Ho, Sidanius, and colleagues (2015). Across the seven samples, the data showed consistently positive relationships between support for group-based social inequality (i.e., SDO) and support for the death penalty and torture. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 94

• QUESTION: Seven large American samples — worth checking sample sizes and effect magnitudes, and whether the SDO-inequality link survives controls like conservatism.
