Amy And Vicky's Cause: Perils Of The Federal Restitution Framework For Child Pornography Victims, Robert W. Jacques
Amy And Vicky's Cause: Perils Of The Federal Restitution Framework For Child Pornography Victims, Robert W. Jacques
Georgia Law Review
Child pornography is unique among violent crimes in at
least one aspect: victims are harmed not only from their
initial abuse but also from knowing that people on the
Internet continue to view the images. In recent years, a
split has arisen among federal courts on whether victims
of child pornography are entitled to restitution from non-
production offenders, i.e., offenders that were not involved
in the initial abuse of victims. The controversy has
surrounded 18 U.S.C. § 2259-the mandatory restitution
statute for sex offenses. While some courts find victim
harm not sufficiently traceable to the crimes at issue to …
Prosecutorial Discretion And The Neglect Of Juvenile Shielding Statutes, Andrea L. Dennis
Prosecutorial Discretion And The Neglect Of Juvenile Shielding Statutes, Andrea L. Dennis
Scholarly Works
When legislatures enact statutes, furtherance of legislative intent depends on the behavior of actors in the executive and judicial branches of government. In the criminal justice system, prosecutors may frustrate legislative intent when they exercise prosecutorial discretion. This Article examines an instance in which prosecutors’ choices work to the detriment of children.
This Article reviews the failure of juvenile shielding statutes to take hold in the prosecution of cases involving child witnesses because of prosecutors’ discretionary decisions not to use these statutes. The Article investigates prosecutors’ pragmatic and doctrinal justifications for not utilizing juvenile shielding statutes and concludes that the …
Collateral Damage? Juvenile Snitches In America’S 'Wars' On Drugs, Crime And Gangs, Andrea L. Dennis
Collateral Damage? Juvenile Snitches In America’S 'Wars' On Drugs, Crime And Gangs, Andrea L. Dennis
Scholarly Works
The government’s use of children as informants in America’s 'wars' on drugs, crime, and gangs is little recognized and rarely discussed by scholars, policymakers, and the public. As with many governmental practices, only notorious instances make headlines, such as when a child is killed in retaliation for informing. Because public attention rarely is focused on the practice, it has not generated consistent documentation of, regulation of, or accountability for such use of child informants. As a starting point for discussion, this article illuminates the experiences of child informants, describing a facet of the snitching institution that generally operates under the …
International Legal Standards Governing The Use Of Child Soldiers, Dorcas B. Mulira
International Legal Standards Governing The Use Of Child Soldiers, Dorcas B. Mulira
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper seeks to analyze the international laws governing the use of children in armedconflict. Despite the prohibition of the use of child soldiers in armed conflict in internationallaw, States and non-State actors continue to actively recruit, abduct, and directly use children,some as young as eight, in hostilities. International humanitarian law's limited scope prevents itfrom protecting the worldÕs most vulnerable children, child soldiers, while human rightsinstruments adopted to make up for these limitations lack enforcement mechanisms, thereforerendering the much-needed protection for child soldiers inadequate. As development ofinternational law concerning child soldiers progresses on paper, progress on the ground lagsbehind, thus …

Parens Patria: Fiction Of The Juvenile Court, David M. Featherstone
Parens Patria: Fiction Of The Juvenile Court, David M. Featherstone
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper briefly examines two functions of the juvenile court, contrasting theory and practice. It will be shown that in handling juvenile delinquency cases the parens patriae concept has been virtually discarded. The second area examined, that involving abused children, has to some extent functioned within the original theoretical framework. This paper presents the following basic question: Could the parens patriae concept be better implemented through a social rather than legal institution?
