Refocusing On Women: A New Direction For Policy And Research On Intimate Partner Violence, Lisa A. Goodman, Deborah Epstein

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

A key question facing researchers of intimate partner violence is how the real-life contexts of victims’ lives should affect state policy. The bulk of recently adopted and much touted criminal justice reforms have taken the form of relatively inflexible, one-size-fits-all mandatory responses focused on counseling, restraining, and punishing batterers. Even the protection order system relies far more heavily on batterer treatment programs than on victim support to prevent future violence. Together, these reforms have largely sacrificed the contextualized, woman-centered focus from which the anti-domestic violence movement originated. Recently, however, a small body of research has emerged indicating that responding flexibly …

La Substitution Des Solvants Par Le Carbonate De Propylène, Denis Bégin, Charles Beaudry, Michel Gérin

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

Le carbonate de propylène (n° CAS : 108-32-7) est un ester cyclique liquide, peu volatil, ni inflammable ni combustible, soluble dans l’eau et les solvants organiques. Il est produit industriellement par réaction entre le dioxyde de carbone et l’oxyde de propylène. Il est utilisé dans la fabrication ou la formulation de multiples produits : batteries, teintures, encres, cosmétiques, résines, peintures, huiles et graisses, gaz industriels, pesticides et médicaments. Le carbonate de propylène trouve un usage accru, souvent sous forme de mélange avec d’autres solvants, dans le décapage de pièces peintes, le décapage dans l’industrie des semi-conducteurs, le nettoyage des outils …

Liberalism, Torture, And The Ticking Bomb, David Luban

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Torture used to be incompatible with American values. Our Bill of Rights forbids cruel and unusual punishment, and that has come to include all forms of corporal punishment except prison and death by methods purported to be painless. Americans and our government have historically condemned states that torture; we have granted asylum or refuge to those who fear it. The Senate ratified the Convention Against Torture, Congress enacted antitorture legislation, and judicial opinions spoke of "the dastardly and totally inhuman act of torture.” Then came September 11.

Anticompetitive Overbuying By Power Buyers, Steven C. Salop

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Two types of single-firm overbuying are analyzed in this article. Predatory overbuying consists of overbuying inputs as a predatory strategy to cause buyer-side competitors in the input market to exit from the market or permanently shrink their capacity in order to gain monopsony power in the input market. Raising Rivals' Costs (RRC) overbuying consists of overbuying inputs as an exclusionary strategy to raise rivals' input costs and thereby gain market power in the output market. In most cases, the additional input purchases are used to produce output. However, in unusual cases a firm may engage in naked overbuying, that is, …

The "Monster" In All Of Us: When Victims Become Perpetrators, Abbe Smith

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this Essay, I will discuss the "cycle of violence”, that transforms victims into perpetrators, focusing on the Aileen Wuornos case. I will examine the odd lack of support for Wuomos and others like her as soon as they become perpetrators. I will then talk about men and boys who have been sexually abused and become perpetrators. I will conclude by arguing that the prevailing feminist approach to crime and violence has been too narrowly focused on victims, and has - witting or not - contributed to the nation's extraordinary and exclusive turn to punishment over the past three decades.

Community Self Help, Neal K. Katyal

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This paper advocates controlling crime through a greater emphasis on precautions taken not by individuals, but by communities. The dominant battles in the literature today posit two central competing models of crime control. In one, the standard policing model, the government is responsible for the variety of acts that are necessary to deter and prosecute criminal acts. In the other, private self-help, public law enforcement is largely supplanted by providing incentives to individuals to self-protect against crime. There are any number of nuances and complications in each of these competing stories, but the literature buys into this binary matrix.

Loyalty, Paternalism, And Rights: Client Counseling Theory And The Role Of Child's Counsel In Delinquency Cases, Kristin N. Henning

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This Article seeks to identify an attorney-child framework that will (1) give substantive meaning to the child's constitutional right to counsel in delinquency cases, (2) satisfy the ethical mandates of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, (3) have the flexibility to accommodate cognitive limitations while enhancing the decisionmaking capacity of children and adolescents, and (4) engage parents in various aspects of the delinquency case without compromising the sanctity of the attorney-client relationship or sacrificing the fundamental rights, dignity, and autonomy of the child client.

Cured Meat And Idaho Potatoes: A Comparative Analysis Of European And American Protection And Enforcement Of Geographic Indications Of Foodstuffs, Lilian V. Faulhaber

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Geographic indications, as defined by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights ("TRIPS Agreement"), are "indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of a member or region or locality in that territory where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin."

While the general concept of protecting geographically-significant products from competition has existed for centuries, the protection provided to geographic indications varies significantly, both between countries and according to the product being protected.

Since the protection of foodstuffs in both Europe and America is a less …

Marine Growth And Morphometrics For Three Populations Of Atlantic Salmon From Eastern Maine, Usa, Timothy F. Sheehan, John F. Kocik, Steven X. Cadrin, Christopher M. Legault, Ernest Atkinson, David A. Bengtson

Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Sciences Faculty Publications

Significant differences in growth and prespawning body morphology were detected among three stocks of Atlantic salmon reared in a common marine environment. Smolts originating from river-specific broodstock of the Machias, East Machias, and Dennys populations were reared at two marine net-pen facilities for 25 months. Significant differences in stock-specific growth were observed among two stocks at both sites, suggesting a genetic basis for the observed phenotypic variation. There was a significant stock effect to the total measured phenotypic variation based on collected truss network analyses. Linear discriminant function analysis of a truss network of morphometric distances allowed for 73% accuracy …

Armageddon’S Lost Lessons: Combined Arms Operations In Allenby’S Palestine Campaign, Gregory A. Daddis

History Faculty Articles and Research

In September 1918, the EEF concluded its campaign in Palestine by routing the Turkish forces at the battle of Megiddo. Under command of British general Allenby, the EEF successfully executed one of the most decisive engagements in any theater of World War I. Ably employing and synchronizing infantry, cavalry, and air forces, Allenby provided future military professionals and historians with a shining illustration of the efficacy of combined arms operations. In terms of surprise, concentration, and operational balance of forces, the culmination of the Palestine campaign was a foreshadowing of the German blitzkrieg used in World War II.

Aspects Of Bacterial Community Ecology Within The American Oyster (Crassostrea Virginica), And Surveillance Of Post-Harvest Vibrio Vulnificus Occurrence, Kenneth John La Valley

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation research addressed the fundamental question of what the general microbial flora within the oyster is and what influence depuration and relay have on bacterial communities in the oyster. Comparisons of bacterial community profiles were made using culture-dependent and culture-independent isolation techniques and a nested PCR-DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) approach. Differences in the composition of the bacterial community between culture-dependent and culture-independent profiles were detected. The effect of culture-based techniques is significant and results in a biased representation of community structure. This bias may be minimized for the oyster compared to the large differences typically detected between culturable …

Multidimensional Damage State Identification Using Phase Space Warping, Ming Liu

Open Access Dissertations

A concept called phase space warping (PSW) has been introduced to describe small drifts (caused by damage) in the phase space of a system. In previous research, a multidimensional damage identification approach has been developed based on this concept and validated using numerical model simulation. Further experimental validation and extension will be main focus of this dissertation. At first, an updated version of a well-known two-well magneto-elastic oscillator is used to validate the damage identification approach experimentally. Good identification results are observed when fatigue damage and simulated damage are present independently or combined with each other. Then, discussion about how …

Bolivia And Mexico: System-Wide Planning Is Needed For Decentralized Postabortion Care, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

Governments in developing countries recognize the need for appropriate technology for the treatment of emergencies from incomplete abortion or miscarriage. Numerous studies have investigated the appropriateness of an integrated model of postabortion care (PAC) that includes three essential elements: emergency treatment for spontaneous or induced abortion; counseling and family planning services; and links to other reproductive health services. Many integrated PAC services include replacement of the conventional clinical treatment, sharp curettage (SC), with manual vacuum aspiration (MVA). In 1997 and 1999 the Population Council supported intervention studies in Mexico and Bolivia, respectively, to assess PAC programs in terms of safety, …

Dominican Republic And Mexico: Promote Condom Use By Emphasizing Personal Benefits, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

Consistent and correct use of the male condom is a critical measure for preventing STI-related morbidity and mortality, yet condom use remains low worldwide and researchers have made limited progress in identifying positive factors that facilitate regular condom use. From 2001 to 2003 the Population Council explored the behavior of individuals who use condoms successfully. Findings on factors that facilitate or impede successful use could be used to develop more effective condom promotion strategies in family planning and STI prevention programs. The projects used qualitative data from successful condom users within three categories: male and female factory workers; male and …

Nepal: Support Communication To Enhance Young Mothers' Reproductive Health, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

From 2000 to 2003, FRONTIERS supported a study by the Center for Research on Environment, Health, and Population Activities to test communication-based models for improving young couples’ access to and use of reproductive health (RH) information and services in the Udaypur district of eastern Nepal. The 14-month intervention, undertaken as part of an RH project implemented by the Nepal Red Cross Society and the Center for Development and Population Activities, sought to improve social norms that leave young women vulnerable to health risks related to early marriage and childbearing and limited access to RH services. The study compared two experimental …

India: Enhancing Girls' Life Skills Requires Long-Term Commitment, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

While adolescents in India face a rapidly changing economic environment, the choices available to unmarried girls are very different from those available to boys. Girls are much less likely than boys to remain unmarried into their twenties, complete middle school, or generate income. Due to social norms, they have limited control over their life choices, and are less likely than boys to be allowed mobility within or beyond their immediate community. In 2001, the Population Council teamed with CARE India to test a pilot intervention to enhance skills and expand life choices for adolescent girls living in the slums of …

Senegal: Community Education Program Increases Dialogue On Fgc, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

From 2000 to 2003, FRONTIERS collaborated with the Senegalese nongovernmental organization Tostan to evaluate the effects of a community-based education program on awareness, attitudes, and behavior regarding reproductive health and female genital cutting. The Tostan program provides modules in local languages on hygiene, problem solving, women’s health, and human rights. It was designed to improve women’s health and promote social change by enabling participants, mainly women, to analyze and find solutions to community problems. As stated in this brief, Tostan implemented the education program as part of a scale-up effort in 90 communities in the Kolda district of southern Senegal. …

Burkina Faso: Community Education Program Scaled-Up In Burkina Faso, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

The government of Burkina Faso is committed to the improvement of women’s reproductive health. Within this context, the Population Council’s FRONTIERS Program collaborated with two nongovernmental organizations, Tostan in Senegal and Mwangaza Action in Burkina Faso, to replicate the Tostan community-based education program. Originally developed in Senegal, this program provides modules in local languages on hygiene, problem solving, women’s health, and human rights as a means of promoting community empowerment to facilitate social change. The intervention, implemented from 2000 to 2003 in the provinces of Bazega and Zoundwéogo in Burkina Faso, compared the performance of 23 participating villages with 23 …

Postabortion Family Planning Benefits Clients And Providers, James R. Foreit

Reproductive Health

A woman’s fertility can return quickly following an abortion or miscarriage, yet recent data show high levels of unmet need for family planning (FP) among women who have been treated for incomplete abortion. This leaves many women at risk of another unintended pregnancy and in some cases subsequent repeated abortions and abortion-related complications. It is thus vital for programs to provide a comprehensive package of postabortion care (PAC) services that includes medical treatment, FP counseling and services, and other reproductive health services such as evaluation and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV counseling and/or testing, and community support and mobilization. …
