Institutional And Post-Institutional Treatment Of The Sex Offender, Thomas P. Wall Jr., Chalmers P. Wylie

Vanderbilt Law Review

The problem of the sex offender is as old as society itself. Today, as in the distant past, man is more concerned, in the first instance, with protecting himself and his loved ones from the corrupting touch of the so-called "sex-fiend" than he is with the punishment, treatment or cure of such persons. This phenomenon of social psychology still prevails in spite of the growing preachments of the doctor, psychologist, criminologist and more recently, of the lawyer prosecutor, the lawyer law-maker and the lawyer practitioner,' to the effect that the primarily desirable end of protecting society can best be achieved …

Criminal Law - Statutory Interpretation - Possession Of Gambling Devices As Misdemeanor, Richard B. Gushée

Michigan Law Review

Parties-Postmaster General As Indispensable Party To Injunction Against Local Postmaster, Ralph J. Isackson

Michigan Law Review

The Postmaster General, after a hearing in Washington, D.C., found petitioners' business fraudulent, and issued a fraud order directing respondent, the local postmaster, to stamp "fraudulent" on all mail addressed to petitioners and return it to the senders. The petitioners sued, without joining the Postmaster General, to enjoin respondent from carrying out the order. The federal district court dismissed the complaint, and the circuit court affirmed. On certiorari, held, reversed. The Postmaster General is not an indispensable party if the decree restraining the local postmaster will give the relief desired without requiring any action on the part of the …

To What Extent Does The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination Protect An Accused From Physical Disclosures, Mary E. Mann, Thomas A. Thomas

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Federal Government and forty-six states have incorporated within their constitutions the common law privilege against self-incrimination. Iowa and New Jersey, the two exceptions, have accepted the privilege, either by incorporation into their common law by judicial interpretation, or by statute. Originally, this universal acceptance was an outgrowth of the thumb-screw and rack days of the star chamber in England, and the protection from physical torture by officers of the law to extract confessions was deemed such a fundamental right' as to warrant constitutional safeguards. However, since its adoption in this country, authorities both in and outside of the legal …

Criminal Law-Manslaughter-Effect Of Violation Of Statute Or Ordinance On Criminal Negligence, C. E. Becraft

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was convicted of the crime of negligent homicide and appealed, alleging that the Louisiana statute, making violation of a statute or ordinance presumptive evidence of criminal negligence, was repugnant to the due process clauses of the state and federal constitutions. Held, affirmed. The effect of the statute is merely to shift the burden of introducing evidence of one element of the crime charged: that of criminal negligence. The presumption does not operate as a prima facie presumption of guilt of the crime -and the state must still prove every element of the offense. State v. Nix, (La. …
