Gang Loitering And Race, Lawrence Rosenthal Dec 1999

Gang Loitering And Race, Lawrence Rosenthal

Lawrence Rosenthal

The decision of the United States Supreme Court in City of Chicago v.

In fact, in the pending Civil Rights Act of 1990, Congress is considering reversing some of what the Supreme Court did during that Term. One of the issues that the Supreme Court addressed during the 1988 Term involved allocating burdens of proof in two major types of Title VII claims, dis- parate-treatment and disparate-impact. Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, dealt with a disparate-treatment …
