A man murders his wife
after she has admitted her infidelity; another man kills an openly gay
teammate after receiving a massage; a third man, white, goes for a jog
in a "bad" neighborhood, carrying a pistol, and shoots an African
American teenager who had his hands in his pockets. When brought before
the criminal justice system, all three men argue that they should be
found "not guilty"; the first two use the defense of provocation, while
the third argues he used his gun in self-defense.
Drawing upon these
and similar cases, Cynthia Lee shows how two well-established,
traditional criminal law defenses--the doctrines of provocation and
self-defense--enable majority-culture defendants to justify their acts
of violence. While the reasonableness requirement, inherent in both
defenses, is designed to allow community input and provide greater
flexibility in legal decision-making, the requirement also allows
majority-culture defendants to rely on dominant social norms, such as
masculinity, heterosexuality, and race (i.e., racial stereotypes), to
bolster their claims of reasonableness. At the same time, Lee examines
other cases that demonstrate that the reasonableness requirement tends
to exclude the perspectives of minorities, such as heterosexual women,
gays and lesbians, and persons of color.
