Access To Justice In India: Exploring Grassroots Perspectives, Maurya Vijay Chandra

Maurya Vijay Chandra

Measurement of access to justice has acquired increased significance in South Asia, especially as many national initiatives on access to justice are being funded by international agencies. However, the perspectives of the people at the grassroots nave not sufficiently been explored in either conceptualising access to justice or developing indicators for measuring it. It was with the hope that discussion of these issues mignt provide a fresh insight into measuring access to justice that I conducted 18 focus-group discussions in six towns and cities in India.

Mental Health Parity: National And State Perspectives 2000: A Report To The Florida Legislature, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe, Sara A. Kuppin Apr 2000

Mental Health Parity: National And State Perspectives 2000: A Report To The Florida Legislature, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe, Sara A. Kuppin

Ardis Hanson

By failing to appropriately treat adults and children with severe mental illness, we incur enormous social costs through payments for disability benefits (Medicaid, SSI, SSDI), increased medical expenses, accidents and suicides, avoidable criminal justice proceedings, lost productivity, and increased need for homeless shelters and services. People who are underinsured are forced by arbitrary caps and limits to increasingly rely on the public sector. By providing parity for mental health, Florida will bring mental health into the mainstream of health care and become a leader in dispelling the prejudice that surrounds treatment of persons with severe mental illness.

Comparing Outcomes Of Major Models Of Police Responses To Mental Health Emergencies, Randy Borum Jan 2000

Comparing Outcomes Of Major Models Of Police Responses To Mental Health Emergencies, Randy Borum

Randy Borum

OBJECTIVE: The study compared three models of police responses to incidents involving people thought to have mental illnesses to determine how often specialized professionals responded and how often they were able to resolve cases without arrest. METHODS: Three study sites representing distinct approaches to police handling of incidents involving persons with mental illness were examined-Birmingham, Alabama; and Knoxville and Memphis, Tennessee. At each site, records were examined for approximately 100 police dispatch calls for "emotionally disturbed persons" to examine the extent to which the specially trained professionals responded. To determine differences in case dispositions, records were also examined for 100 …


Intensive Supervision Probation: An Impact Evaluation, Greg Warchol Dec 1999

Intensive Supervision Probation: An Impact Evaluation, Greg Warchol

Greg Warchol

Beginning in the early 1980's, intensive supervision probation was increasingly viewed as a popular sentencing alternative to conventional probation and incarceration for specific types of high‐risk offenders. Evaluations of intensive probation however, have raised doubts about its effectiveness in reducing recidivism among high‐risk offenders. Using a quasi experimental multiple interrupted time series research design, this study compares recidivism rates for high‐risk repeat DWI offenders in an intensive supervision probation program to repeat DWI offenders who were sentenced to incarceration. The results indicate that offenders who were sentenced to and completed intensive supervision probation had a lower rate of recidivism than …

Conceptualizing The Ethical Aspects Of Community Policing's Inception And Practice, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Gorazd Meško Dec 1999

Conceptualizing The Ethical Aspects Of Community Policing's Inception And Practice, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Gorazd Meško

Joanne Ziembo-Vogl

The rationale for this conceptual work is to examine the ethical aspects of community policing's inception and practice, as evidenced in America. Historical patterns of ethical issues and reform responses to ethical breaches in conduct are informative for newly democratic I. countries in the midst of transitional models of law enforcement. Much can be learned from the rich history of American policing. The history of modern policing in America commenced with what Kelling and Moore (1988) term the "Political Era" in the late 1800s. Spanning several decades into the early 19005, the Political Era was marked by broad provision of …

Comparing The Moral Values Of Slovenian And American Criminal Justice Students, Police Officers, And Jail Officers, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Gorazd Meško, James Houston, Peter Umek Dec 1999

Comparing The Moral Values Of Slovenian And American Criminal Justice Students, Police Officers, And Jail Officers, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, Gorazd Meško, James Houston, Peter Umek

Joanne Ziembo-Vogl

Braithwaite and Scott describe the study of values as multi-disciplinary involving, "the intersection of interests of philosophers, anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists. Values are presumed to encapsulate the aspirations of individuals and societies. They pertain to what is desirable, to deeply engrained standards that determine future directions and that justify past actions. Values have been postulated as key constructs in the socialization process, and have found their way into cultural, religious, political, educational, occupational, and family research" (1991 :661). Psychological and biological aspects of an individual (one's characteristics and needs) link research to attitudes, personality, and self-esteem (1991). These individual factors …


Battered Women In The Restraining Order Process: Observations On A Court Advocacy Program, Angela M. Moe Dec 1999

This article reports observations of how legal advocates in the program are affecting battered women's lives through their services as well as accounts of battered women's experiences in the court system and responses by court personnel to them. These observations are discussed in relation to existing research and theory on work with battered women and to the social context in which such work occurs.


The Right To Silence Helps The Innocent: A Game-Theoretic Analysis Of The Fifth Amendment Privilege, Alex Stein, Daniel Seidmann Dec 1999

The Right To Silence Helps The Innocent: A Game-Theoretic Analysis Of The Fifth Amendment Privilege, Alex Stein, Daniel Seidmann

Alex Stein

This Article develops a consequentialist game-theoretic perspective for understanding the right to silence. By applying this perspective, the Article reveals that the conventional perception of the right to silence, as impeding the search for truth and thus helping criminals alone, is mistaken. The Article demonstrates that the right to silence can help triers of fact to distinguish between factually innocent and guilty suspects and defendants. This is achieved by an important feature of the right to silence which this Article brings to the fore: a criminal's self-interested response to questioning can impose externalities (in the form of wrongful conviction) on …
