Sex Offender Regulations And The Rule Of Law: When Civil Regulatory Schemes Circumvent The Constitution, Ryan W. Porte Jan 2018

Sex Offender Regulations And The Rule Of Law: When Civil Regulatory Schemes Circumvent The Constitution, Ryan W. Porte

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The U.S. Supreme Court last decided the issue of whether post-incarceration sex offender regulations constituted punishment or nonpunitive regulations over twenty years ago. In coming to its conclusion, the Supreme Court assessed the regulations as they were written in the 1990s and the early 2000s and maintained the assumption that offenders constituted a greater danger to the public than other classes of criminals. In 2018, post-incarceration sex offender regulations are far more restrictive than they were two decades ago and scientific studies tend to refute the public belief that sex offenders are more recidivistic than other criminals. Recognizing this, some …


Street Harassment: The Need For Criminal Remedies, Sonja Arndt Jan 2018

Street Harassment: The Need For Criminal Remedies, Sonja Arndt

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

This article shines light on the lack of street harassment laws in the United States, while outlining why there is an immediate need for these types of laws. The author seeks to develop a working legal definition of street harassment, while subcategorizing street harassment into three separate categories: catcalling, verbal sexual harassment, and verbal sexual assault. Lastly, the author puts forth a legal proposal which would criminalize verbal sexual harassment and verbal sexual assault.


Proceed With Caution: Hate Speech Regulation In Japan, Junko Kotani Jan 2018

Proceed With Caution: Hate Speech Regulation In Japan, Junko Kotani

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The Diet of Japan enacted the Hate Speech Elimination Act in 2016 amid heated debates over the appropriate role that the government should play in confronting the vulgar racist hate speech that had been permeating the country. The Act, however, does not criminalize or make illegal hate speech and is thus criticized by Professor Craig Martin. This Article argues that while the principles of freedom of speech under the Constitution of Japan may tolerate criminalization of narrowly defined hate speech, one should be cautious in advocating for immediate criminalization of racist hate speech in the country. This Article provides an …


The First Pride Was A Riot: How Queer Activism Has Partnered With Police To Hurt The Community’S Most Vulnerable, Delaney Nevius Jan 2018

The First Pride Was A Riot: How Queer Activism Has Partnered With Police To Hurt The Community’S Most Vulnerable, Delaney Nevius

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Summarizing the history and development of queer rights activism in San Francisco, this article reflects upon the legal goals of the queer community in San Francisco from 1960 to the present, observing a movement away from law enforcement resistance and towards collaboration and placing the community’s most vulnerable, queer people of color, at risk. The author outlines and problematizes three potential legal goals for the queer community moving forward: a constitutional claim of police misconduct, hate crime legislation, and police reform tactics.


Intersectional Resistance: A Case Study On Crimmigration And Lessons For Organizing In The Trump Era, Robin Pomerenke Jan 2018

Intersectional Resistance: A Case Study On Crimmigration And Lessons For Organizing In The Trump Era, Robin Pomerenke

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Increasingly, the federal government has sought to utilize local law enforcement’s proximity to and intimacy with local communities to detain and deport immigrants. The resultant growth of crimmigration—the simultaneous enforcement of immigration law and criminal law—has sparked a large-scale social movement in California over the last ten years. This movement has built connections and solidarities among actors across communities and issue areas, including the faith community, the legal community, [etc.]. Using the response to crimmigration as a case study, this Note examines the potentials for intersectional resistance. What role has an awareness of intersectionality played in the fight against crimmigration? …

Leveraging Social Science Expertise In Immigration Policy, Ming Hsu Chen Jan 2018

Leveraging Social Science Expertise In Immigration Policy, Ming Hsu Chen

Faculty Scholarship

The longstanding uncertainty about how policymakers should grapple with social science demonstrating racism persists in the modern administrative state. This Essay examines the uses and misuses of social science and expertise in immigration policymaking. More specifically, it highlights three immigration policies that dismiss social scientific findings and expertise as part of presidential and agency decision- making: border control, crime control, and extreme vetting of refugees to prevent terrorism. The Essay claims that these rejections of expertise undermine both substantive and procedural protections for immigrants and undermine important functions of the administrative state as a curb on irrationality in policymaking. It …

Conflicting Definitions Of Sexual Assault And Consent: The Ramifications Of Title Ix Male Gender Discrimination Claims Against College Campuses, Tyra Singleton Jul 2017

Conflicting Definitions Of Sexual Assault And Consent: The Ramifications Of Title Ix Male Gender Discrimination Claims Against College Campuses, Tyra Singleton

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Sexual assault is pervasive on college campuses across the country. Title IX mandates that school’s receiving federal funding protect student victims of sexual assault. Some campuses have gone further than the Title IX requirements and have created internal policies that are stacked against the accused and potentially reach the level of violating the accused’s constitutional rights. This note examines how Title IX has influenced academia and how unjust campus tribunals have caused accused male students to seek redress in federal courts for gender discrimination. This note will also examine the racial implications of Title IX and consider how race contributes …


Minority Mens Rea: Racial Bias And Criminal Mental States, Francis X. Shen Jun 2017

Minority Mens Rea: Racial Bias And Criminal Mental States, Francis X. Shen

UC Law Journal

The American criminal justice system relies upon jurors to regularly decode the mental states of criminal defendants. These determinations are often of black and Hispanic defendants, making “minority mens rea” a centerpiece of the justice process. This Article presents an empirical investigation of how jury eligible subjects decode minority mens rea. In a study involving over 1200 subjects, the Article explores whether subjects assign fictional protagonists named Jamal and Lakisha more culpable mental states than they assign to protagonists named John and Emily. The results show that, at least on this particular experimental task, racial bias does not affect the …
