Greg Warchol

The purpose of this research is to first describe the origins and current state of federal asset forfeiture law, then examine of how property seized under the forfeiture laws for drug law violations is proceeded against by the federal government. The methodology, which is primarily exploratory, utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data. A sample of over 6000 federal administrative and judicial drug forfeiture cases are described and analyzed to construct a profile of the federal government's use of this policy. Findings raise questions about the use of forfeiture and the government's intent. Implications and suggestions for future research are included.

Creating And Enforcing Norms, With Special Reference To Sanctions, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, Richard A. Posner

Eric Bennett Rasmusen

Two central puzzles about social norms are how they are enforced and how they are created or modified. The sanctions for violation of a norm can be categorized as automatic, guilt, shame, informational, bilateral- costly, and multilateral-costly.

We use our analysis of enforcement and creation of norms to analyze the scope of feasible government action either to promote desirable norms or to repress undesirable ones.

Toward Universal Human Rights And The Rule Of Law: The Permanent International Criminal Court, Giulio M. Gallarotti, Arik Preis

Giulio M Gallarotti

A permanent international criminal court (ICC) was created by an international treaty signed on July 17, 1998 in Rome. This article is an analysis of the newly created ICC. In it we explore both the institutional weaknesses and strengths of the Court, as well as the sea of political realities within which the Court must navigate, and which ultimately will determine its effectiveness. Finally, we analyze the impact (i.e., advantages and disadvantages) of the Court on the U.S. national interest. As a nation which has the capacity to play a preponderant role in making the ICC either effective or ineffective, …

Citizens' Perception Of A "Good" Electronic House Arrest Program, Preston Elrod, Michael P. Brown

Preston Elrod, Ph.D.

The successful implementation and operation of electronic house arrest (EHA) depends upon community acceptance. Research has explored the conditions under which the public supports EHA as an alternative to incarceration, but it has failed to fully address what the public believes are appropriate program characteristics and offender activities. In order to gain insight into these issues, the present article reports the findings of a survey (n=521) of Oneida County, New York, residents. Respondents indicated that a "good" EHA program has rules and regulations and promote individual and societal safety
