A Comparative Review Of A College Education's Effect On Law Enforcement Officers Relating To Internal Affairs Complaints, Bill Griffin

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

The purpose of this research is to determine if a relationship exists between higher education levels and misconduct allegations for Deputy Sheriffs. Official documentation from 128 internal affairs reports were collected from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. Significant relationships were found to exist between higher education levels and the misconduct allegations. While some college exposure may be beneficial for job performance, a four-year degree may not yield the desired results.

When Terrorism Threatens Health: How Far Are Limitations On Personal And Ecomonic Liberties Justified, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The government is engaged in a homeland-security project to safeguard the population's health from potential terrorist attacks. This project is politically charged because it affords the state enhanced powers to restrict personal and economic liberties. Just as governmental powers relating to intelligence, law enforcement, and criminal justice curtail individual interests, so too do public health powers.

How Much Do We Really Know About Race And Juries? A Review Of Social Science Theory And Research, Samuel R. Sommers, Phoebe C. Ellsworth

Articles

The past decade has witnessed numerous high-profile criminal trials in which controversial verdicts have been attributed to racethe race of the defendant, the racial composition of a jury, an attorney "playing the race card," and so on. A predominantly Black jury's acquittal of O.J. Simpson and White jurors' leniency in the police brutality cases of Rodney King and Amadou Diallo not only sparked public debate, but also led to rioting and violence. In the wake of trials such as these, many have questioned the viability of the American jury system.' More specific questions regarding the influence of race on jury …

The Effect Of 8 U. S. C. 1324(D) In Transporting Prosecutions: Does The Confrontation Clause Still Apply To Alien Defendants., Donna F. Coltharp

St. Mary's Law Journal

Cases prosecuted under 8 U.S.C. §1324 present special challenges for the Government and for defendants. Under §1324, it is a crime to transport or smuggle aliens into the United States. Prosecuting transporters or smugglers may present a challenge if a witness is unavailable. Even though transporting or smuggling always has witnesses—the alien(s) who hired the smuggler or transporter—not all witnesses have prolonged detentions, and some are returned to their native country. The transporter or smuggler may then assert their Sixth Amendment right. The Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause requires that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to …

Introduction: The Utah Restorative Justice Conference, Erik Luna

Utah Law Review

Restorative justice proves to be a fascinating topic and a provocative foil for challenging contemporary crime and punishment in the United States. The Utah Restorative Justice Conference may be the first of its kind in American legal academe, providing a much-needed forum to hash out the arguments for and against restorativism vis-d-vis traditional approaches to the criminal process. As such, the Symposium hopes to inspire further debate on restorative justice, its principles, and its practices. Restorativism certainly has both charms and warts, but given the current state of affairs in criminal courts and correctional facilities across the nation, the potential …

Repairing The Harm: Victims And Restorative Justice, Lawrence W. Sherman, Heather Strang

Utah Law Review

From a victim perspective, restorative justice has been shown usually to do better than the existing criminal justice system. It has met the burden of proof for benefiting one stakeholder in the process of justice. It might arguably lose that status if it is found that restorative justice also hurts offenders or communities. But in thousands of restorative justice conferences on three continents, no clear evidence has yet emerged that restorative justice has such negative side effects. Given the substantial evidence of unfairness and disrespect in the treatment of victims by criminal justice, restorative justice seems to be in a …

Restoration, A Component Of Justice, Kathy Elton, Michelle M. Roybal

Utah Law Review

Because of the different orientation to crime and conflict, the mediation process, with its roots in restorative justice, is able to avoid "leav[ing] victims feeling twice victimized," as can happen in the criminal justice system due to its "pre-occupation with offenders. Through their posttrial and postsentence mediated dialogue, it seems victims and offenders are more able to understand an event whose by-products are haunting them, and can then try to move on with their lives. With the storytelling and sense of feeling heard that is typical of victim-offender mediation as a process in pretrial disposition, victims and offenders are able …

Reconstructing Professional Roles In Restorative Justice Programs, Susan M. Olsen, Albert W. Dzur

Utah Law Review

We begin with a brief introduction to restorative justice norms and practices, followed by an analytical discussion of the roles court and corrections professionals play in the conventional criminal justice system. Next we turn to a more detailed presentation of the restorative justice critique of the criminal justice system and its implications for professional roles. We then introduce two functioning restorative justice programs, "Passages" in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Reparative Probation in Vermont. Moving back and forth between restorative justice theory and our case analysis, we identify patterns in the emerging roles of what we call by the somewhat …

Between Town And Gown: The Rise And Fall Of Restorative Justice On Boulder's University Hill, Thomas D. Russell

Utah Law Review

Seven weeks after I moved to Boulder, University of Colorado students rioted three-quarters of a block from my home. In July 2000, my wife, two young children, and I had moved from Austin, Texas, where I taught at the University of Texas. We bought a small Craftsman Bungalow in Boulder. Boulder real estate is expensive; we paid $435,000 for the 1600 square foot house. The first owner of the house, which was built in 1911, was the university librarian, who lived there until his death in 1937. Our next-door neighbor on one side was an English professor at the University …

Restorative Justice And The Two-Track Establishment Clause, Frederick Mark Gedicks

Utah Law Review

Many restorative justice programs, however, do have religious dimensions. A circle sentencing session, for example, may open or close with a prayer or other group religious ritual. Victim-offender mediations may be structured in accordance with theological concepts such as forgiveness, repentance, or atonement, or on sectarian versions of secular ideas like apology, remorse, restitution, or reconciliation. Many would argue, in fact, that even these ostensibly secular ideas were once religious. Participants in such mediations may explicitly invoke a God or a religious belief system as the source of ethical obligations owed by offenders or victims. For instance, a mediation involving …

Restorative Justice And The Jewish Question, Daniel J. H. Greenwood

Utah Law Review

The basic premise of restorative justice seems completely sound. If the goal is to reduce crime, harsh punishment alone seems unlikely to work. You cannot teach a child to avoid hitting others by hitting him; it is hard to believe that you can teach a people to not kill by killing, or teach criminals to respect the law and rights of others by violating the rights of the accused, or teach them to get a job by making them unemployable. Axes of Evil not with standing, most evil is done by people who are enmeshed in a system that invites …

Recent Developments In Utah Law, Timothy K. Conde, Christine M. Seaman

Utah Law Review

In First Equity Federal, Inc. v. Phillips Development, L.C.,' the Utah Supreme Court limited the two-dismissal provision of rule 41(a)(1) of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The First Equity court overruled the prior precedent of Thomas v. Heirs of Braffet, which expanded the meaning of a notice of dismissal to include a perfunctory, or ex parte, motion to dismiss. The court subsequently held that the plain language of rule 41(a)(1)5 does not apply to all types of dismissals, but refers exclusively to notices of dismissal and does not apply to motions to dismiss. Thus, after First Equity, a motion …

Correspondences And Contradictions In International And Domestic Conflict Resolution: Lessons From General Theory And Varied Contexts, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Does the field of conflict resolution have any broadly applicable theories that "work" across the different domains of international and domestic conflict? Or, are contexts, participants, and resources so "domain" specific and variable that only "thick descriptions" of particular contexts will do? These are important questions which have been plaguing me in this depressing time for conflict resolution professionals, from September 11,2001 (9/11), to the war against Iraq. Have we learned anything about conflict resolution that really does improve our ability to describe, predict, and act to reduce unnecessary and harmful conflict? These are the questions I want to explore …

The Harms Of Child Pornography Law, Bruce Ryder

Articles & Book Chapters

The author challenges the assumption that the expansion of child pornography offenses can lead only to a decrease in harm to children and to society. He argues that Canadian child pornography law is incoherent. In some respects, child pornography law makes valuable contributions to the prevention of child sexual abuse by targeting the production, dissemination and use of material ("real" child pornography) that involved harm in production. It also improves the law by criminalizing written and visual material that advocates the commission of sexual crimes against children and youth. In other respects, the law causes harm to society by suppressing …

Public Health And The Built Environment: Historical, Empirical, And Theoretical Foundations For An Expanded Role, Wendy Collins Perdue, Lawrence O. Gostin, Lesley A. Stone

Law Faculty Publications

In 2000, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Environmental Health issued a report that explored some of the ways in which "sprawl" impacts public health. The report has generated great interest, and state health officials are beginning to discuss the relationship between land use and public health. The CDC report has also produced a backlash. For example, the Southern California Building Industry Association labeled the report "a ludicrous sham" and argued that the CDC should stick to "fighting physical diseases, not defending political ones."

In this environment, it is understandable if the CDC looks to such …

Measuring Fear Of Crime On Campus: A Study Of An Urban University, Cheryl Papa Bedenbaugh

LSU Master's Theses

Since 1990, five federal laws and many state laws have been created to increase security on university campuses (Security on Campus 2000). These laws, which include provisions that require university police and administrations to accurately and openly report the school's crime statistics (Hudge 2000), have fueled an increased focus about crime committed on university campuses. The philosophy behind the open reporting laws is twofold: parents and students have the information necessary to help them make the best decisions on which college to attend, and students are armed with information so they can take necessary precautions to enhance their level of …
