Violence In College Students' Dating Relationships, Carol K. Sigelman, Carol E. Jordan-Berry, Katharine A. Wiles

Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women Publications

In a survey of 504 college students examining predictors of violence in heterosexual relationships, over half of both men and women had committed at least one physically violent act. Modest associations between physical violence and sexual aggression were uncovered. In a series of discriminant analyses, men who abused their partners were not readily distinguished from men who did not, but tended to by young, low in family income, traditional in attitudes toward women, abused as children, currently living with a women, and from Appalachian areas.

Social Workers As Magistrates Or Jps?, Donald E. Maypole

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

An inspection of data on magistrates and justices of the peace revealed that in many states the statutes do not require law degrees for the positions. A survey of a randomly selected sample of magistrates in one midwestern state found support for the claim that a law degree was not a pre-requisite for a magistrate's position. The author argues that social workers have the education and skills for magistrate and justice of the peace positions and proposes them as areas of employment.

Constitutionalizing Civil Commitment: Another Attempt—In Re Harris, 98 Wn. 2d 276, 654 P.2d 109 (1982), Betty L. Drumheller

Washington Law Review

This Note first discusses recent statutory and judicial reforms of involuntary mental commitment procedures in the United States and Washington. It then analyzes the Washington Supreme Court's decision in In re Harris, focusing on the court's interpretation of the required standard for involuntary commitment and the new procedural requirements for issuance of a summons. The Note concludes that the Washington Supreme Court took a significant but incomplete step in conforming the Washington involuntary commitment procedures to the requirements of the United States Constitution.

The Battering Parent Syndrome: Inexpert Testimony As Character Evidence, Thomas N. Bulleit Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note proposes that courts refuse to give further consideration to admitting the battering parent syndrome as evidence in both civil and criminal proceedings arising out of child abuse. Part I of the Note describes the syndrome as it appears in the psychological literature. Part II suggests that current judicial attitudes favor the future admissibility of the syndrome, conditioned only on an improved showing of scientific accuracy. Part III demonstrates that regardless of scientific accuracy, the character evidence rule forbids courts from admitting the battering parent syndrome. Part IV argues that the important policies underlying the character evidence rule override …

traditionally tend to allocate funds for more costly social services

The Governor's Constituency For Children: Concerned Adults Unite In Lobbying Efforts, Margaret Kempel

Nova Law Review

In the political lexicon of the 1980s, a "constituency" has come to

mean a special interest group coalesced around a single issue. These

single-issue constituencies, or special interest lobbies, range from right

wing to left wing, from neighborhood associations to well-organized political

action committees, from environmental causes to tax-slashing

referenda.

Criminalizing Juvenile Justice: Rules Of Procedure For The Juvenile Court, Barry C. Feld

Articles

The 1967 United States Supreme Court decision In re Gault 1 precipitated a procedural revolution that has transformed the juvenile court into a legal institution very different from that envisioned by its Progressive creators. 2 In the years since Gault, states have struggled to bring the administration of their juvenile courts into harmony with the requirements of the Constitution, 3 aided by professional commentary and the continuing evolution of juvenile procedural due process requirements.

Mediation Of Wife Abuse Cases: The Adverse Impact Of Informal Dispute Resolution On Women, Lisa G. Lerman

Scholarly Articles

This Article articulates a law enforcement critique of domestic violence mediation. It will explain the feminist view that mediation in abuse cases is based on misconceptions about the nature of wife abuse, and that mediation not only fails to protect women from subsequent violence, but also perpetuates their continued victimization.

The Article will recommend that other remedies be preferred over mediation. Recognizing that many programs will persist in mediation of wife abuse cases, however, the Article recommends that those programs should adopt procedures which will offer protection to victims of abuse, will make clear to the abuser that stopping the …

Admissibility Of Written Standards As Evidence Of The Standard Of Care In Medical And Hospital Negligence Actions In Virginia, Gwen M. Schockemoehl

University of Richmond Law Review

The standard of care in a medical negligence action represents the duty which the defendant physician, nurse, hospital or other health care provider owes to the patient. In Virginia, it is that degree of care and skill possessed by the reasonably prudent practitioner of the same specialty in this state. This standard is an elusive one at best. While learned treatises and journal articles assist in determining the standard, in practice the plaintiff offers experts who state, based on their knowledge, training, and experience that the standard of care requires the defendant to provide a particular type of care which …
