Prisons Must Cease Re-Traumatizing Women: A Call For Gender-Responsive Programs That End The Cycle Of Abuse, Sally Abrahamson

Legal Writing Competition Winners

“They break us out there and then more in here. And they don't do anything to build us back up.” This is a quote from a woman serving thirty-one years for assault and crack-cocaine possession. Like many other incarcerated women, she has a history of being in domestically abusive relationships. Prison, she said, felt like an extension of feeling the same hopelessness she did before entering prison. Using drugs was a means to escape the reality of abuse and poverty. Her time in prison further disempowered her economically and socially, as she received no job-training and lost many of her …

Faith-Based Volunteers In Local Jails: The Inaugural Test Of Servant-Leadership, Linda Keena

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Robert Greenleaf believed the best leadership results from a desire to serve others (Greenleaf, 1991). Servant-leaders approach others with humble spirits, seeking to serve rather than to be served. In his essay The Servant as Leader, Greenleaf (1991) asserted, "Not everything that is old and worn, or even corrupt, can be thrown away. Some of it has to be rebuilt and used again. So it is with the words serve and lead" (p. 1). For that reason, the message of the "leader-as-servant" (Greenleaf, 1998, p. 4) exemplifies the spirit of faith-based correctional volunteers. As advanced by John MacArthur (1994) in …

The Effects Of Wife-Abuser Socio-Economic Level, Type Of Abuse, And Rater Gender, On Attribution Of Blame For Wife Abuse, Hayley Y. Golden

Open Access Dissertations

This study examined how wife abuse is constructed within the non-professional population, with an emphasis on the role of gender, as reflected in men's and women's differing attributions of blame for wife abuse to several possible causes (perpetrator, victim, situation, and societal attitudes). Fictional vignettes featuring married couples were used to vary two other potential influences on allocation of blame: socioeconomic status (SES) and physical vs. emotional abuse type. Four blame attribution scales in the Domestic Violence Blame Scale (DVBS) (Petretic-Jackson, Sandberg, & Jackson, 1994) served as dependent variables, with two levels of SES and abuse type portrayed in four …

The Future Of The Grave Breaches Regime: Segregate, Assimilate Or Abandon, James G. Stewart

All Faculty Publications

Grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions are one type of war crime. In this Article, I argue that the grave breaches regime has three possible futures. In the first, the regime remains segregated from other categories of war crimes in deference to the historical development of these crimes. This future, however, is one that will see a relatively dramatic decline in the use of grave breaches in practice, primarily because other offences cover the same acts more efficiently. In the second possible future, the grave breaches are entirely abandoned, but this eventuality seems both improbable and undesirable. Even though judicial …

Community-Based Collaboration: A Philanthropic Model For Positive Social Change, Lynda Frost, Susan Stone

The Foundation Review

· A highly publicized incident served as a catalyst for the Austin, Texas, community, convened by the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, to address gaps in the behavioral health system.

· The foundation worked with the local behavioral health authority, the mayor’s office, police and sheriff’s departments, and the city health department to design the Austin Mayor’s Mental Health Task Force. The task force was succeeded by a monitoring committee that identified six focus areas in which to develop action plans and monitor community progress.

· This collaborative process aimed to strengthen public commitment to behavioral health services and create …

Rethinking The Federal Role In State Criminal Justice, Joseph L. Hoffmann, Nancy J. King

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This Essay argues that federal habeas review of state criminal cases squanders resources the federal government should be using to help states reform their systems of defense representation. A 2007 empirical study reveals that federal habeas review is inaccessible to most state prisoners convicted of non-capital crimes, and offers no realistic hope of relief for those who reach federal court. As a means of correcting or deterring constitutional error in non-capital cases, habeas is failing and cannot be fixed. Drawing upon these findings as well as the Supreme Court's most recent decision applying the Suspension Clause, the authors propose that …
