The Evolving Police Power: Some Observations For A New Century, Glenn H. Reynolds, David B. Kopel Jan 2000

The Evolving Police Power: Some Observations For A New Century, Glenn H. Reynolds, David B. Kopel

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The conventional wisdom about the scope of state police powers goes like this: in the early days of the Republic, legitimate regulation existed only to prevent concrete harm to specified interests. Sometime around the previous turn of the century, the scope of state police powers expanded; states could regulate as they chose so long as they claimed to be working to promote the public safety, welfare, or morality. This article examines a number of recent state constitutional decisions having to do with sodomy, parenting, marriage, and procreation and argues that in deciding these cases the courts are returning to the …

Slippery When Wet: The Effects Of Local Alcohol Access Laws On Highway Safety, Reagan Anne Baughman, Michael Edward Conlin, Stacy Dickert-Conlin, John V. Pepper Jan 2000

Slippery When Wet: The Effects Of Local Alcohol Access Laws On Highway Safety, Reagan Anne Baughman, Michael Edward Conlin, Stacy Dickert-Conlin, John V. Pepper

Center for Policy Research

This paper examines 237 instances of policy changes related to alcohol sales and consumption enacted in Texas communities between 1975 and 1996 to determine their effect on the incidence of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents. These policies are categorized by location where the alcohol is consumed after sale (on the premises or off) and the type of alcohol available for consumption (beer and wine or hard liquor). After controlling for both county and year fixed effects, we find evidence that (i) the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises (in bars and restaurants) is associated with a sizeable increase in …

Quartering Species: The Living Constitution, The Third Amendment, And The Endangered Species Act, Andrew P. Morriss, Richard L. Stroup Jan 2000

Quartering Species: The Living Constitution, The Third Amendment, And The Endangered Species Act, Andrew P. Morriss, Richard L. Stroup

Faculty Scholarship

The authors argue that the fundamental flaw in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is that it fails to force government decision makers to consider the opportunity cost of their actions, resulting in flawed decision making that imposes heavy costs on landowners without actually protecting endangered species. The authors develop this analysis through an examination of the ESA in light of the modern "living Constitution" theory of interpretation. They conclude that under this theory the ESA's "quartering of species" on private land violates the Third Amendment's ban on quartering soldiers.

Stopping Hate Without Stifling Speech: Re-Examining The Merits Of Hate Speech Codes On University Campuses, Catherine B. Johnson Jan 2000

Stopping Hate Without Stifling Speech: Re-Examining The Merits Of Hate Speech Codes On University Campuses, Catherine B. Johnson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note explores legislative attempts to help reduce incidents of hate speech on university campuses. It begins by analyzing the rise in hate speech codes at public universities and examining two U.S. Supreme Court decisions in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul and Wisconsin v. Mitchell. The author argues that a hate speech code that implements forward-looking, long-term education objective would work towards stopping hate on campus without violating students' First Amendment rights. This Note reaches the conclusion that a narrowly drawn hate speech code based on recognized First Amendment exceptions, implemented along with with education initiatives, could facilitate the …

Our Drug Laws Have Failed - So Where Is The Desperately Needed Meaningful Reform?, David C. Leven

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The article begins by stating that the harsh drug laws of New York have failed to have an effect on the amount of drug dealers and instead have led to overcrowding of prisons with non-addict drug users. It states that the laws must be modified to give greater sentencing to judges, increasing diversion of non-violent offenders to rehabilitation. The article then delineates the problems resulting from current drug law and the criticism thereof. It then states the attempted reforms of drug laws that have been insufficient. The article concludes by suggesting proposals to solve the problems delineated, including proportionate sentences, …

Faculty Scholarship

The title for this year’s program of the Section on Urban, State and Local Government Law of the Association of American Law Schools is The City in the 21st Century. These three articles provide a stimulating introduction to three issues that are likely to be central to the study of the city in the twenty-first century-as they were in the twentieth century and in the nineteenth century: the interplay of local and regional forces in land development, the battles among interest groups to control city hall, and the role of local government in promoting local economic development. These issues are …

Africanized Honey Bee Colonization In The Human Domain: Issues Of Environmental Anthropology In Southern Nevada, Daniel Edward Lebas Jan 2000

Africanized Honey Bee Colonization In The Human Domain: Issues Of Environmental Anthropology In Southern Nevada, Daniel Edward Lebas

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Environmental anthropology seeks to identify issues and propose resolutions when humans are directly affected by environmental consequences or indirectly by policies that may marginalize the concerns of certain populations. Africanized Honey Bees created both environmental and policy consequences in southern Nevada. Identification of the issues was accomplished with literature review, participant observation, informal interview, and conferencing with academic and agency officials related to the human/bee problem. The controversy in risk assessment has implications for urban residents in southern Nevada. Both agricultural and urban environments may be economically and politically impacted by the colonization of feral Africanized Honey Bees. Urban populations …

Alcohol Abuse And Violent Crime: A Contemporary Examination And Comparison Of Adult Male And Female Violent And Nonviolent Criminal Offenders., Don Randall Haley

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The focus of this study was to investigate the relationship between violent criminal activity and alcohol abuse, and to further extend the knowledge about these phenomenon which currently appear in the literature. The association between these two variables has been asserted for many years, but few definitive correlations have been established using representative data. This study sought to determine if a statistical relationship exists between alcohol abuse rates of inmates serving time in Louisiana and their convictions for violent crimes. The research design used to investigate the relationship between alcohol abuse and violent criminal behavior was non-experimental and correlational. Interviews …
