Less Privacy Please, We're British: Investigating Crime With Dna In The U.K. And The U.S., Duncan Carling Jan 2008

Less Privacy Please, We're British: Investigating Crime With Dna In The U.K. And The U.S., Duncan Carling

UC Law SF International Law Review

The United States and Great Britain are the world leaders in the use of DNA databases for criminal investigations, but the laws governing their use are evolving differently in each country. This note compares the American and British DNA database programs, and looks at two notable differences in practice: the collection of DNA samples from people who have been arrested but not convicted, and the technique of looking for an offender's relatives in the database. The note offers an explanation as to why the legislation is evolving differently, and argues that disparate cultural views on privacy are as much part …

The Fourth Amendment And Immigration Enforcement In The Home: Can Ice Target The Utmost Sphere Of Privacy?, Marisa Antos-Fallon Jan 2008

The Fourth Amendment And Immigration Enforcement In The Home: Can Ice Target The Utmost Sphere Of Privacy?, Marisa Antos-Fallon

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note discusses whether targeting and entering homes of non-citizens without court-ordered warrants raises problems under the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of "unreasonable searches and seizures." Specifically, this note argues that additional protections are necessary to ensure that ICE does not violate the Fourth Amendment rights of those they target and those who get swept up in their enforcement effort. This is particularly true with initiatives such as "Operation Return to Sender" and "Operation Community Shield" because they are carried out in private homes, the traditional sphere of greatest Fourth Amendment protection. Part I of this Note details the particular ICE …


Securing The Global City: Crime, Consulting, Risk, And Ratings In The Production Of Urban Space, Katharyne Mitchell, Katherine Beckett Jan 2008

Securing The Global City: Crime, Consulting, Risk, And Ratings In The Production Of Urban Space, Katharyne Mitchell, Katherine Beckett

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The last decade has witnessed the rise of private transnational institutions that increasingly influence the organization and management of urban space. Two institutions are especially powerful in this regard: bond-rating agencies and global security firms. Bolstered by a discourse of risk and the need to securitize cities, these institutions have garnered enormous amounts of power with respect to urban social and spatial control. They are implicated in the imprisonment and displacement of marginalized populations, the intensification of gentrification, and general shifts in municipal funding priorities. The authors illustrate these themes through a case study of New York City, followed by …

Brennan Lecture Evidence-Based Judicial Discretion: Promoting Public Safety Through State Sentencing Reform, Michael A. Wolff Jan 2008

Brennan Lecture Evidence-Based Judicial Discretion: Promoting Public Safety Through State Sentencing Reform, Michael A. Wolff

All Faculty Scholarship

In this speech delivered for the annual Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. Lecture on State Courts and Social Justice, the Honorable Michael Wolff offers a new way of thinking about sentencing. Instead of attempting to limit judicial discretion and increase incarceration, states should aim to reduce recidivism in order to make our communities safer. Judge Wolff uses the example of Missouri's sentencing reforms to argue that states should adopt evidence-based sentencing, in which the effectiveness of different sentences and treatment programs are regularly evaluated. In pre-sentencing investigative reports, probation officers should attempt to quantify - based on historical data - …


Justifying Facial Discrimination By Government Defendants Under The Fair Housing Act: Which Standard To Apply, Kaitlin A. Bridges Jan 2008

Justifying Facial Discrimination By Government Defendants Under The Fair Housing Act: Which Standard To Apply, Kaitlin A. Bridges

Missouri Law Review

This Summary will discuss the standard that the Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have adopted, as well as the opposing viewpoint of the Eighth Circuit. In discussing the various standards that courts of appeals have adopted, this Summary will demonstrate that the standard currently employed by the Eighth Circuit fails to adequately prevent and protect citizens from housing discrimination, as intended by the Fair Housing Act. The Summary will ultimately conclude that the Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have applied the appropriate standard, and that the Eigth Circuit needs to join those Circuits in applying a standard that encourages those …
