Watching Me, Watching You: The Use Of Cctv To Support Safer Work Places For Public Transport Transit Officers, Christine Teague, Lelia Green, David Leith

Research outputs pre 2011

Over recent years there has been a proliferation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in public and private settings in a bid to increase security and combat crime. Whilst concern abounds from citizens that the use of these cameras are an invasion of personal privacy, governments and organisations have continued to view them as a panacea in the fight against crime and public disorder. Drawing on a research project currently being undertaken in a metropolitan railway environment, this paper aims to address a gap in the CCTV literature and examines the use of CCTV cameras as a ‘safety protection’ for …

Corporate 'Miranda' Warnings, Peter A. Joy, Kevin C. Mcmunigal

Faculty Publications

Administrative agencies and prosecutors have adopted formal and informal measures to push corporations to establish compliance programs, to disclose wrongdoing voluntarily, and to cooperate with government investigations, creating what some commentators refer to as a culture of cooperation. Key to internal investigations are employee interviews by counsel.

Employees, especially senior employees, may assume that the lawyers representing their organizational employers represent them as well in matters relating to their work. To avoid this misunderstanding, both in-house and outside counsel now use “corporate Miranda warnings” or “Upjohn warnings.” In law enforcement interrogation, the Miranda warning is an antidote to the coercive …

Reducing Recidivism In The State Of California: An Evaluation Of California's Prison And Parole Programs, Heidi C. Wolfgruber

CMC Senior Theses

Studies in the past few years have found that California has the highest recidivism rate in the nation. Until just a few decades ago, many did not believe that the rate of recidivism could be decreased for Robert Martinson’s 1974 study stated that “nothing worked” when trying to rehabilitate criminals. However, a renewed interest has proven that criminals can be rehabilitated. Thus, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), as well as various independent researchers have begun to study the effects of programming on inmates. This thesis evaluates various California in-prison and parole programs in order to determine if …

Testimony Before The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Miami, Florida September 21, 2010, William K. Black

Faculty Works

"Control frauds" are seemingly legitimate entities controlled by persons that use them as a fraud "weapon." (The person that controls the firm is typically the CEO, so that term is used in this testimony.) A single control fraud can cause greater losses than all other forms of property crime combined. Neo-classical economic theory, methodology, and praxis combine to optimize criminogenic environments that hyper-inflate financial bubbles and produce recurrent, intensifying financial crises. A criminogenic environment is one that creates such perverse incentives that it leads to widespread crime. Financial control frauds’ "weapon of choice" is accounting. Neoclassical theory, which dominates law …

You're On Your Own, Kid... But You Shouldn't Be, Daniel B. Weddle

Faculty Works

This article addresses the question: Should courts recognize a duty on the part of schools to implement proven strategies to reduce and prevent bullying? Nothing influences the answer to that question as understanding the nature of bullying in schools. Once understood, bullying seems less a rite of passage or builder of character and more like child abuse perpetuated by peers. The realization that many school children suffer such abuse that inflicts long-lasting and severe damage shifts the analysis from whether the problem is serious enough for courts to engage to how they might most effectively engage it. This article addresses …

Monetary Recoveries For State Crime Victims , Jeffrey A. Parness, Edmund Laube, Laura Lee

Cleveland State Law Review

In this Article, we explore the constitutional, statutory, and common law foundations of the three recovery avenues available to crime victims. We also explore the federal-state and interstate differences in these avenues, along with the associated barriers to recovery. Finally, we propose better ways in which to facilitate state crime victim recoveries.

Wall St. Fraud And Fiduciary Responsibilities: Can Jail Time Serve As An Adequate Deterrent For Willful Violations?, William K. Black

Faculty Works

The answer to the question posed by the title of this hearing is: only prison sentences can deter the violations that caused the debacle. We should, however, never rely solely on prosecutions to constrain crimes. The criminal justice system needs to work with regulation not only to make regulation more effective, but also to prevent “private market discipline” from becoming a “criminogenic” oxymoron. To understand the vital role that the criminal justice system must play if we are to avoid the recurrent, intensifying financial crises that have beset this and many other nations for nearly three decades we must begin …

Exxon Shipping Co. V. Baker: The Perils Of Judicial Punitive Damages Reform, Jeff Kerr

Emory Law Journal

The Supreme Court¿s recent decision in Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker established a conservative one-to-one cap on the ratio of punitive to compensatory damages in maritime law. This decision raises the question whether the Court will apply a similar constitutional limit in future punitive damages cases. In the meantime, lower courts have already begun to rely on Exxon Shipping as persuasive authority for limiting punitive damages further than the Supreme Court¿s previous cases require. This Comment argues that Exxon Shipping¿s one-to-one cap in maritime cases is inconsistent with key principles of punitive damages law, advises against the application of Exxon …

Killing One's Abuser: Premeditation, Pathology, Or Provocation?, Christine M. Belew

Emory Law Journal

This Comment illustrates how the current American approach of limiting battered women who preemptively kill to claims of self-defense has resulted in distortions in the law. It explores some of the practical results of using self-defense for battered defendants in nonconfrontational cases and demonstrates that this approach leads to outcomes that are in tension with social sentiments and the goals of the criminal law. Therefore, a new strategy is needed to better accommodate such cases. In proposing a new solution, this Comment draws from the experiences and strategies of approaches used in Australia and England to address the issues posed …

A Few Words About Women In The Discourse Of Criminal Law Upon Reading Martha Grace Duncan's Essay, Beauty In The Dark Of Night, Nancy Cook

Emory Law Journal

The harsh realities of crime, victimization, trial, and imprisonment—all laden with pain and violence—are discussed in opinions laced with antiquated poetic language, beautiful imagery, and soft sounds. Professor Duncan herself constructs similarly unlikely literary pairings in her writing about criminal law texts, interweaving the languages of story and witness into the academic discourse of a law journal essay.

Lawless By Design: Jurisdiction, Gender And Justice In Indian Country, Laura E. Pisarello

Emory Law Journal

To reduce crime, and sexual violence in particular, in Indian Country, Congress should “overturn” Oliphant and grant tribes direct criminal jurisdiction over all people—Indian or not—in Indian Country. Congress should also remove sentencing limits and explicitly grant tribal courts authority to adjudicate all crimes. Accordingly, this Comment discusses the effects of present legal hurdles to prosecuting those who commit crimes in Indian Country. It shows how Congress could remove these legal barriers and addresses possible constitutional concerns about this proposal. This Comment outlines the legal benefits of this proposal, including a more harmonized and modern legal framework that enhances tribal …

Overcoming Fragmentation In Disability And Health Law, Ani B. Satz

Emory Law Journal

Legal structures respond to human need by defining situations in which specific rights or entitlements attach. Legal protections usually depend on whether an individual is operating within a particular time period, physical space, or other context. The assumption underlying this targeted approach to state response is that the law must make distinctions between individuals that both determine eligibility for legal protections and possible remedies. In litigation, this approach may be perceived as necessary to promote fairness amongst adversarial parties. Targeted approaches may also facilitate desired judicial outcomes, by expanding, contracting, or reframing liability. Laws structuring social welfare programs or other …

Engendering Fairness In Domestic Violence Arrests: Improving Police Accountability Through The Equal Protection Clause, Niji Jain

Emory Law Journal

When police decline to respond to reported violations of restraining orders, victims of gender-based violence and their children suffer tragic consequences. Congress enacted 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to remedy problems of this sort by lifting the shield of immunity when a state actor violates an individual¿s constitutional rights. A credible threat of liability for police officers is imperative to encourage police to act in a way that protects individuals from harm. However, the Supreme Court has substantially limited the possible § 1983-based causes of action a victim of gender-based violence can bring against a police officer. The only remaining avenue …
