My dissertation consists of three papers that explore different aspects of racial discrimination in criminal justice for murder cases. I use micro-econometric techniques on survey data and long panels to investigate the magnitude of racial discrimination in case processing, the stages within case processing where discrimination arises, and the evolution of discrimination in arrests.
