Assessing The Counterfactual: The Efficacy Of Drug Interdiction Absent Racial Profiling, Katherine Y. Barnes Mar 2005

Assessing The Counterfactual: The Efficacy Of Drug Interdiction Absent Racial Profiling, Katherine Y. Barnes

Duke Law Journal

This Article investigates the costs and benefits of racial profiling in the context of drug interdiction. I begin by reviewing the empirical economic and civil rights literature regarding the existence and rationality of racial profiling and then build an explicit model of a trooper's decision to search a stopped vehicle. Estimating the model using stop and search data from a portion of Interstate 95 in Maryland, I find that the Maryland State Police use the motorist's race as a factor in deciding which stopped vehicles to search. This result persists even after controlling for many other descriptive variables that impact …

Bougainville Community Crime Trends: A Survey Of Crime In Arawa And Buka, Mark Findlay, Gerard Guthrie, Fiona Hukula, James Laki Mar 2005

Bougainville Community Crime Trends: A Survey Of Crime In Arawa And Buka, Mark Findlay, Gerard Guthrie, Fiona Hukula, James Laki

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The fundamental difference in the role of the state in the recent histories of Arawa and Buka is critical to understanding community attitudes to crime and policing. In Arawa, the state was entirely absent for over 10 years during the civil war and community-based agencies provided the sole source of authority and social control. In Buka, the state remained in control in difficult circumstances. The peace process was based around indigenous dispute resolution techniques and now a role for the state is being gradually reintroduced into post-conflict Bougainville, including of policing services to Arawa. The differences in the recent histories …

Awakening An Empire Of Liberty: Exploring The Roots Of Socratic Inquiry And Political Nihilism In American Democracy, Maurice R. Dyson Feb 2005

Awakening An Empire Of Liberty: Exploring The Roots Of Socratic Inquiry And Political Nihilism In American Democracy, Maurice R. Dyson

ExpressO

This book review timely examines Cornel West’s latest sequel to his 1992 best seller, Race Matters. In Democracy Matters, West unflinchingly examines the waning of democratic energies and nihilistic practices of private and public sector in our present age of democracy. This review takes a critical examination of the logic underpinning West’s arguments, his nomenclature of various nihilism plaguing our society, the sometimes clumsy employment of literary devices and his thesis regarding the ‘niggerization’ of America after 9/11 that can serve as a basis for unifying collective action against imperialism. West makes a compelling argument that the public needs to …

Combating Wmd: Challenges For The Next 10 Years, Center For The Study Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction Feb 2005

Combating Wmd: Challenges For The Next 10 Years, Center For The Study Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction

Books and Book Chapters

One need only glance at newspaper headlines each morning to appreciate that the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threat environment is dynamic. President George W. Bush has identified WMD in the hands of rogue states and terrorists as the greatest security threat to the United States. The pace of WMD events in recent years has been truly remarkable. Taking stock of what has occurred since the National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction was issued nearly 2 years ago, it is clear that combating WMD is a difficult but far from hopeless task. Important progress has been made, though …

Strategic Implications Of Intercommunal Warfare In Iraq, W. Andrew Terrill Dr. Feb 2005

Strategic Implications Of Intercommunal Warfare In Iraq, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In the post-Saddam era, differences among Iraqi ethnic and religious groups will either emerge as a barrier to political cooperation and national unity, or they will instead be mitigated as part of the struggle to define a new and more inclusive system of government. Should Iraqi ethnic and sectarian differences become unmanageable, a violent struggle for political power may ensue. This study does not predict an ethnic or sectarian civil war in Iraq except as a worst case, which must be analyzed and considered. If Iraqi violence erupts along religious/sectarian and ethnic lines, this conflict will have thunderous echoes throughout …
