"Sir, I have the keys of the shop I .....ork in. Please let me ring up the owner and inform him that he should take the keys from here:' But Narender's repeated plea fell on deaf ears of the policemen in the Civil Lines Police Station. Instead of allowing him his right to contact a friend/relative, so boldly painted in every police station, the police personnel simply denied Narender possessed anything but a 10" knife. The "right" which Narender was denied are painted in white over blue in every Police Station. Now Aren't blue and white both very passive colours? …

Feminism For Men: Legal Ideology And The Construction Of Maleness, Nancy Levit Jan 1996

Feminism For Men: Legal Ideology And The Construction Of Maleness, Nancy Levit

Nancy Levit

It may seem a little odd to suggest that feminist theory has overlooked men. Yet, in several important respects, apart from the role of culprit, men have been largely omitted from feminism. Feminist legal theorists have paid mild attention to the "Can men be feminists?" question but this issue is usually relegated to footnotes. The negative effect gender role stereotypes have on men is typically subsidiary to the main focus of feminist legal literature, which has concentrated on documenting the patterns of subordination of women and on questions of feminist ideology.

The primary purpose of this article is to suggest …

Practice Versus Paradigm: How Today's Police Departments Define Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Devere Woods Dec 1995

Practice Versus Paradigm: How Today's Police Departments Define Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Devere Woods

Joanne Ziembo-Vogl

While many believe that community policing has advanced beyond the defining stages, conflict still exists between community policing as envisioned by academics and theorists and community policing as interpreted and practiced by police organizations. Why is there so much disparity between the theory and application of community policing? Part of the answer lies in the differing utility the concept holds for practitioners and researchers. Analyzed within the precepts of the Trojanowicz Paradigm, content analyses of community policing job descriptions and definitions were performed on data obtained during a 1994 national survey of police departments conducted by Trojanowicz, Woods, et al. …

Searching For Peace And Achieving Justice: The Need For Accountability, M. Bassiouni

M. Cherif Bassiouni

Despite a high level of mass violence in the post-war years, there have been few prosecutions at the international or national level. Impunity for such crimes is a betrayal of human solidarity with the victims.

New Federalism And Constitutional Criminal Procedure: Are We Repeating The Mistakes Of The Past?, James W. Diehm Dec 1995

New Federalism And Constitutional Criminal Procedure: Are We Repeating The Mistakes Of The Past?, James W. Diehm

James W. Diehm

More than thirty years have passed since the United States Supreme Court made these observations in the landmark case of Mapp v. Ohio." The Court, no doubt, thought it was putting an end to the wrenching problems that developed since it laid the groundwork for the exclusionary rule in Boyd v. United States in 1886. Although the merits of the exclusionary rule have been debated for many years and will be debated for years to come, the advent of the exclusionary rule raised important issues of federalism that were not resolved easily.

Medical Investigation Of Suspects By The Police, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee Dec 1995

Medical Investigation Of Suspects By The Police, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee

Jack Tsen-Ta LEE

Although medical examinations and samples taken from suspects' bodies in the course of police inquiries often lead to the discovery of important evidence, Singapore criminal procedure does not appear to empower the police to carry out such medical investigations. Neither does it safeguard the interests of suspects. It is submitted that the Criminal Procedure Code and other statutes should be brought up to date with modern science.

George Bush's America Meets Dante's Inferno: The Americans With Disabilities Act In Prison, Ira P. Robbins

Ira P. Robbins

Introduction: The conditions in America's correctional facilities have long been cause for concern. Even those who do not advocate a comfortable quality of life for inmates recognize that basic problems such as overcrowding, inmate violence,' inadequate staffing,2 and increasing costs of building and maintaining prisons have approached crisis levels. Meanwhile, the prison population continues to swell. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the United States Department of Justice, the number of prisoners incarcerated at state and federal prisons annually has grown at a rate of 8.4% in recent years.'
