Reflecting On The Subject: A Critique Of The Social Influence Conception Of Deterrence, The Broken Windows Theory, And Order-Maintenance Policing New York Style, Bernard E. Harcourt
Michigan Law Review
In 1993, New York City began implementing the quality-of-life initiative, an order-maintenance policing strategy targeting minor misdemeanor offenses like turnstile jumping, aggressive panhandling, and public drinking. The policing initiative is premised on the broken windows theory of deterrence, namely the hypothesis that minor physical and social disorder, if left unattended in a neighborhood, causes serious crime. New York City's new policing strategy has met with overwhelming support in the press and among public officials, policymakers, sociologists, criminologists and political scientists. The media describe the "famous" Broken Windows essay as "the bible of policing" and "the blueprint for community policing." Order-maintenance …
Proportionality And Punishment: Imposing Life Without Parole On Juveniles, Wayne A. Logan
Proportionality And Punishment: Imposing Life Without Parole On Juveniles, Wayne A. Logan
Scholarly Publications
The Eighth Amendment provides that “no cruel and unusual punishment shall be inflicted.” The Supreme Court has interpreted to this to mean a punishment cannot be “grossly disproportionate” to the crime. In this article, the author addresses whether an offender's age should play a role in assessing whether a sentence is “grossly disproportionate.” Specifically, the author addresses the increasingly common practice of imposing life without parole on offenders who are under sixteen years of age at the time they committed their offense, and whether such offenders’ youthful status should play a role in proportionality analysis. The article first provides an …

The widespread dissemination of knowledge about the Miranda protections is often referred to as one of the most successful efforts ever made to educate the American public about its constitutional rights. Studies confirm that a high percentage of the public is aware of Miranda, largely due to television and other mass media. This article asks the question: if television is educating the public about its Miranda rights, what exactly is it teaching us? As fans of the cop show NYPD Blue (a show in which the interrogation and confession are often the dramatic focus) we use that show to explore …

Cornell Law Faculty Publications
In federal habeas corpus proceedings, Earl Matthews, an African American, South Carolina death row inmate, alleged that his death sentence was the result of invidious racial discrimination that violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. To support his contention, Matthews presented statistical evidence showing that in Charleston County, where a jury convicted him and sentenced him to death, the prosecutor was far more likely to seek a death sentence for a Black defendant accused of killing a white person than for any other racial combination of victims and defendants, and also that such a Black defendant was more …

Decolonising Restoration And Justice, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In her paper presented to the Institute of Criminology seminar 'Restorative Justice, Conferencing and the Possibilities of Reform', Kathleen Daly (1998) advocated the exploration of 'spliced justice forms'. By this, Daly recognised the potential of a collaboration 'where an informal restorative justice process was piggybacked on a formal traditional method of prosecuting and sanctioning serious offences' (Daly 1998:10). In advancing this position, Daly recognised the merits of an interrelationship between formal and informal justice. She referred to Roger Matthews view (1998) that formal and informal justice are neither dichotomous nor a matter of choosing one or the other, but of …

Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Andrea Wilson
Mercer Law Review
Appeals attempting to resolve issues concerning the United States Sentencing Guidelines ("U.S.S.G.") continue to require much of the resources of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The sentencing guidelines are the driving force behind thousands of prosecutions and appeals each year. However, the number of amendments to the guidelines has diminished in recent years, and the court seems to be free to do more fine-tuning than in the past.

Extraditing Mexican Nationals In The Fight Against International Narcotics Crimes, Joshua S. Spector
Extraditing Mexican Nationals In The Fight Against International Narcotics Crimes, Joshua S. Spector
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In recent years, Mexican narcotics trafficking has become a major threat to the security of the Americas. Mexican narco-traffickers have used their wealth and violence to corrupt political and judicial systems and avoid effective prosecution or penalty in Mexican courts. Historically, Mexico has refused to extradite its nationals in reliance on Mexican law prohibiting the extradition of nationals in all but "exceptional" cases. This Note argues that Mexico should take a step toward controlling the cross-border narcotics trade and recognize international drug trafficking as an "exceptional" crime. Upon recognizing narcotics crimes as "exceptional," Mexico should then begin extraditing Mexican narco-traffickers …

This report is designed to help law enforcement administrators and officers understand and institute a strategy to help prevent violence - community-oriented policing services carried out in collaboration with youth-serving organizations. Popular police prevention approaches such as D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training), and the McGruff "Take a Bite out of Crime" campaigns have helped prepare police officers to work hand in hand in a variety of ways with local affiliates of national youth-serving organizations. In a growing number of cities, police are working with youth groups and finding that violence involving youth is rapidly …
