Patrick Bayer, department chair and professor of economics at Duke, is known for his research in areas such as racial inequality, segregation, social interactions, housing markets, education and crime. Last week, Bayer, along with a team of Duke-led researchers, published a study examining more than 700 non-capital felony cases in two Florida counties from 2000 to 2010. The study found that juries with no blacks convicted blacks 81 percent of the time, and whites were convicted 66 percent of the time. This gap was almost entirely eliminated when at least one member of the jury pool was black. The Chronicle’s Arden Kreeger spoke with Bayer about the study, citizens’ right to a fair trial and possible policy solutions to address the inequalities.
