 [No title]
Mann's careful attention to variation within the major racial groups and to their distinct histories within the U.S. is noteworthy.
Mann considers alternative explanations to complement and/or compete with racial discrimination, although she very straightforwardly refuses to be forced to choose between economic considerations and race.
As Mann points out, since most members of racial minorities are poor and legislation against minority groups was often based on the threat they posed to Euro-American laborers, it is very difficult to disentangle class and race effects in criminal justice processing and sanctioning.

Mann uses over 45 tables and figures to present the findings of an exploratory study that describes ecological conditions, victim relationships, and the treatment of offenders by the justice system.
Mann finds the typical murder is committed in a residence belonging to the victim and/or perpetrator (1996:46).
Mann is to be commended for not perpetuating the invisibility of lesbians, but the discussion is problematic when the total number of cases is five -- especially without a strong caution that generalization is basically impossible.

 Fem. WHEN WOMEN KILL Nicholas Davidson
Miss Mann reports on a study she conducted of women who have killed husbands or lovers, based on a comprehensive survey of police records and court files of Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Baltimore.
Miss Mann presents as a "typical example" of women who kill a 30- year-old woman "who killed her 31-year-old spouse in a domestic argument in which the victim was drunk.
She shot him in the BACK of the head six times with his.38 pistol, and claimed self-defense." The court apparently accepted the woman's argument, for "the case was dismissed." Scholars and ideologues will no doubt debate whether males or females initiate more violence in the home for some time to come.

Coramae Mann also cites a study by James Austin, Barry Krisberg, and Paul Litsky in 1985 entitled Evaluation of the Field Test of Supervised Pretrial Release: Final Report in which 90% of the felony defendants released on supervised pretrial release(SPR) did not flee and were not rearrested.
Mann states in her book that some opponents of ’death-qualified’ juries feel that these juries violate an individual’s Sixth Amendment right to a jury which represents a cross-section of the community, since a large number of fls and women who view the death penalty less favorably are excluded.
Mann says there are drawbacks to plea bargaining even though it is appealing to a minority defendant when he is trying to get his case resolved as quickly as possible.

Mann criticized the arguments of William Wilbanks (in his book The Myth of a Racist Criminal Justice System (1987)), countering in her 1989 book Unequal Justice that Wilbanks' reliance on quantitative and statistical data hides the reality of racism.
She gained undergraduate (1956) and graduate (1961) degrees in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University.

 Chaires and Stitt
Thus, an example of an extreme argument on one side would be that of Wilbanks (1987) who denies any racism in the system, arguing that the disparate numbers merely reflect the higher numbers of minorities that commit crimes.
In far contrast, Mann (1993) argues that there is systematic, intentional racism pervading the entire criminal justice system.
With this kind of perspective, students can begin to view social science theory as not only containing paradigmatic assumptions, but also existing within ranges that have a relationship to justice concepts and the development of policy and practice.
