Prosecuting Race, Anthony V. Alfieri Apr 1999

Prosecuting Race, Anthony V. Alfieri

Duke Law Journal

Theoreticians and practitioners in the American criminal justice system increasingly debate the role of racial identity, racialized narratives, and race-neutral representation in law, lawyering, and ethics. This debate holds special bearing on the growing prosecution and defense of acts of racially motivated violence. In this continuing investigation of the prosecution and defense of such violence, Professor Alfieri examines the recent federal prosecution of five white New York City police officers charged with assaulting Abner Louima, a young male Haitian immigrant, in 1997. Professor Alfieri presents a raceconscious, community-oriented model of prosecutorial discretion guided by constitutional precepts, citizenship ideals, professionalism values, …

Individual Bankruptcy: Preliminary Findings Of A Socio-Legal Analysis, Iain D. C. Ramsay Apr 1999

Individual Bankruptcy: Preliminary Findings Of A Socio-Legal Analysis, Iain D. C. Ramsay

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article presents preliminary findings from an empirical study of individuals who filed for bankruptcy in the Toronto bankruptcy district in 1994. The central findings are that bankrupts are both asset- and income-poor at the time of declaring bankruptcy, and have much higher ratios of debt-to-income than the general population. Bankrupts are not drawn solely from low status occupations, but neither are they drawn significantly from the highest status occupations. The major reasons for declaring bankruptcy are adverse employment changes and business failure. There has been a large rise in the number of women declaring bankruptcy since earlier studies in …

Stare Decisis In Historical Perspective: From The Founding Era To The Rehnquist Court, Thomas R. Lee Apr 1999

Stare Decisis In Historical Perspective: From The Founding Era To The Rehnquist Court, Thomas R. Lee

Vanderbilt Law Review

As numerous statistical studies have noted, the modern Supreme Court has overruled itself at a rate that far exceeds that which prevailed during the Court's early years. But is the accelerated rate a result of a decay in the Court's doctrine of stare decisis? Several critics have presumed so without engaging in any historical analysis. In this Article, Professor Lee offers a detailed historical examination of the evolution of the Supreme Court's overruling rhetoric. The author traces the evolution of important strands of the Rehnquist Court's doctrine of stare decisis from founding-era treatises to early applications in the Marshall and …

Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza Apr 1999

Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay will argue that the public defender, or any other attorney appointed by the court to defend adults or juveniles charged with criminal offenses, should not undertake, or fail to undertake, any action to the legal detriment of a client on the basis of a conflict the attorney perceives between religious and professional imperatives, except in the rare case of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another. This argument rests on the following four premises: (1) the public defender occupies a unique position in our legal system, and options that may be available to lawyers who serve private …

The Rape Victim's Response An Examination Of The Impact Of Situational Factors On Self-Protective Strategies Utilized By Sexual Assault Victims, Sharon K. Flax Apr 1999

The Rape Victim's Response An Examination Of The Impact Of Situational Factors On Self-Protective Strategies Utilized By Sexual Assault Victims, Sharon K. Flax

Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations

This study explores the impact of several factors on a victims' responses during sexual assault and/or rape. Specifically, the relationship between self-protective measures taken and the victims age, race, social economic status and the victim-offender relationship were examined. The study utilized the 1995 rape subset of the 1992-1995 redesigned National Crime Victimization Survey. The sample consisted of 350 female rape and/or sexual assault victims. Findings suggest that the victim-offender relationship significantly effects victims' self-protective strategies. Victims of intimate-perpetrated assaults utilize more passive-verbal self-protective tactics. Implications for law enforcement efforts and future research are discussed.

Kajian Awal Tentang Money Laundering Serta Implikasinya Dalam Pasar Keuangan Internasional, Hariyadi Ramelan, Delfianto Ras Mar 1999

Kajian Awal Tentang Money Laundering Serta Implikasinya Dalam Pasar Keuangan Internasional, Hariyadi Ramelan, Delfianto Ras

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Perkembangan teknologi perbankan internasional dalam dekade terakhir ini telah memberikan jalan bagi tumbuhnya jaringan-jaringan perbankan yang semula lokal/regional menjadi suatu lembaga keuangan yang global. Kecenderungan tersebut ternyata juga memberikan kesempatan bagi para pelaku money laundering untuk turut memanfaatkan kecanggihan jaringan layanan perbankan. Uang hasil transaksi ilegal (obat bius/ narkotika, senjata gelap, suap/korupsi/ manipulasi serta fraud perbankan) telah menjadi “legal” dalam dunia bisnis di pasar keuangan internasional. Dalam posisi ini, perbankan internasional khususnya International Offshore Banking Centres (IOBC) dengan segala aspek perlindungan data serta keleluasaan pajaknya telah menjadi lembaga intermediasi yang sangat diminati oleh para money launderer. Namun pada sisi yang …
