Abstract

Purpose: To provide an overview of how gender identity is treated in death row research. Methods: By use of a systematic review of 56 peer-reviewed journal articles that were identified as empirical, employing either qualitative or quantitative data, concepts measuring the use of gender and race identity were developed. Results: Findings were presented by the methodology employed, area of research, sample composition, and key concepts which included the use of gendered terminology in titles, abstracts, and manuscripts, as well as by the author(s)'s gender identities. Conclusion: In general, regardless of methodology or area of research, death row research does not account for the effects of gender or intersectional identities unless the sample participants or subject matter pertains to women.
