What is the socio-economic status of condemned criminals?
Not good.
Just a fancy way of saying how much money you have and how much you conform to society.
no, ice cream doesnt have wheels; therefore, a computer mouse cannot block the radiation of a paper clip, unless it is a thursday, or the sky isn't not sometimes gray, sometimes. Otherwise, no, you cannot paddle a garbage can up a rollercoaster, unless you are using a hands-free cellular devise.
This is a concept relating to one's status in society, usually related to personal wealth, occupation or other factors. This is often defined as membership is an economic "class" such as the lower, middle or upper class... although these boundaries are very vague. In some societies, factors like race, family history, marriage, etc. can influence status.
Insofar as condemned criminals, research on prisoners on death row show that there are a disproportionate number of minorities (and poor). Presumably, poor people are less able to afford a legal defense in a capital crime. There is also an argument that juries and judges are more willing to impose the death penalty on minorities.
Socio = social - the place you stand in society Economic = how much money or weath you possess. A person with less than 25 thousand a year is said to be in a low socioeconomic class, while 30 to 60 thousand a year is said to be middle class socioeconomic status, and 75 thousand a year to 110 thousand a year is said to be upper middle class or lower wealthy class, and if one makes more than 110 thousand a year they are said to be upper class or wealthy class. These numbers are according to a Forbes magazine, 1998, so the numbers may be a bit different now, and it would depend on what region in the country where you live. For example, if you live in California, an income of 40 thousand a year is NOT going to put you in the middle class as easily as it would if you live in Arkansas. So socioeconomic class is relative to income, location, and how one chooses to spend or save money. A person making 60 K a year can be just as money-poor as someone making 20 thousand a year if they cannot manage money, and can be in just as bad of a position.
socio-economic status is the term that basically means a combination of your relative wealth and your race and or position in life.
For example, a young immigrant from Africa that lives in a relatively poor neighborhood is considered to have a low socio-economic status because he/she is likely a lower income, has a minority race, and lives in an area of more likely higher crime. Education level is also generally slightly lower, which both leads to the the conditions above, and is caused by the conditions above.
A middle-class suburbanite white male, however has a relatively high socio-economic status.
It's a comparison between positions/status that is significant to take into account when you consider crime rates, education rates and school test scores and drop-out rates, and many other social factors.
As for how it affects condemned criminals, you will find that convicted criminals of lower socio-economic status receive harsher sentences. Also, for those not convicted, but accused, you'll find more of those from lower status receive convictions than those from higher status positions.
