※ 다음 글을 읽고 물음에 답하시오. [문 14~문 15] Within the context of the overall murder rate, the death penalty cannot be said to be widely or routinely used in the United States; in recent years the average has been about one execution for about every 700 murders committed, or 1 execution for about every 325 murder convictions. It is noted that the death penalty is sought and applied more often in some jurisdictions, not only between states but within states. A 2004 Cornell University study showed that while 2.5% of murderers convicted nationwide were sentenced to the death penalty, in Nevada 6% were given the death penalty. Texas gave only 2% of murderers the death sentence, less than the national average. Texas, however, executed 40% of those sentenced, which was about 4 times higher than the national average. California had executed only 1% of those sentenced. Only 1.4% of those executed since 1976 have been women. African-Americans make up 42% of death row inmates while making up only 12% of the general population. On the other hand, others note that this is lower than the 50% of the total prison population which is African-American and that whites are in fact twice as likely as African-Americans to receive the death penalty, and are also executed more quickly after sentencing. 윗 글에서 언급되지 않은 것은?
