       Coramae Richey Mann on Women,

   Crime and the Color of American Justice

                        Joan Rosemary Mars




     ABSTRACT. The contributions of African-American criminologists
     have yet to be given sufficient prominence and recognition in the shap-
     ing of the academic discourse on crime and justice in America. Persistent
     failures in the area of policy-making underscore the need for more diver-
     sity and inclusiveness in ongoing efforts to understand the problems that
     plague the administration of justice. The perspectives of African-Ameri-
     can criminologists should be treated as a visible and valuable resource.
     Toward this end, the contributions of African-American criminologist
     Coramae Richey Mann are explored within the larger framework of her
     life and work in the struggle for social justice. The significance of
     Mann's unique minority perspective is discussed. Biographical data
     were gathered from her published works and verified by a telephone in-
     terview. A detailed analysis of her major publications is conducted under
     two themes: the etiology of female crime and the color of American jus-
     tice. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery
