Problem Of Age And Jurisdiction In The Juvenile Court, C. William Reiney Jun 1966

Problem Of Age And Jurisdiction In The Juvenile Court, C. William Reiney

Vanderbilt Law Review

The waiver provisions produce a conflict between the ideal of the juvenile court that the "best interests" of the child shall be protected and the demand of society that society be protected. Perhaps in so doing, they help define the true role of the juvenile court. The juvenile court is a part of our legal system, a system which must protect many interests of individuals and groups. The juvenile court can do no less. Apparently, the United States Supreme Court in the 1965 term has adopted this view of the juvenile court. The waiver provisions are, thus, a necessary adjunct …

A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison Apr 1966

A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison

Michigan Law Review

No one would deny that the FBI performs a vital function in investigating, identifying, and tracking down suspects who may endanger the life, liberty, and property of Americans. However, this writer feels that the Uniform Crime Reports published by the FBI should be subjected to a very critical analysis. Of primary concern are the indiscriminate acceptance of the official data by legislators and social science investigators and the doubtful inferences which a frightened public draws from news releases proclaiming that "the U.S. is sitting on a seething volcano of crime."

Fireworks, Explosives, Guns, And Minors, George Braun Jan 1966

Fireworks, Explosives, Guns, And Minors, George Braun

Cleveland State Law Review

In most of the United States the laws governing the sale and use of fireworks, explosives and flammable decorations follow the form of control regulations recommended by the National Fire Prevention Association. These severely restrict the use of explosives and fireworks (with the exception of paper caps for toy guns) to adults. Ohio has led the trend by imposing safeguards more restrictive than most states and, by recent statutes together with decisions, imposing strict standards against manufacturers, sellers, keepers, users or other handlers of explosives and fireworks in attempts to effectively control the hazards presented by these products.

Authorization Of Involuntary Blood Transfusion For Adult Jehovah's Witness Held Unconstitutional--In Re Brooks' Estate, Michigan Law Review Jan 1966

Authorization Of Involuntary Blood Transfusion For Adult Jehovah's Witness Held Unconstitutional--In Re Brooks' Estate, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Despite serious illness, plaintiff requested, in accordance with her religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness, that blood transfusions not be administered to her. Upon the request of her physician and several assistant state's attorneys, a court-appointed guardian was authorized to consent to a blood transfusion for the plaintiff, and a transfusion was administered. On appeal of the court's action to the Supreme Court of Illinois, held, order reversed. The authorization of a blood transfusion for an adult Jehovah's Witness who has only adult children is an unconstitutional interference with the patient's right to the free exercise of her religion.
