Evaluation Of Relationships Between Reported Resilience And Soldier Outcomes, Report #1: Negative Outcomes (Suicide, Drug Use And Violent Crime), Paul B. Lester, Peter D. Harms, Denise Bulling, Mitchel Herian, Seth M. Spain

University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications

This document is the first of a series of reports evaluating the impact of the Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) Program by examining relationships between reported resilience and various health and behavioral outcomes (both positive and negative) among Soldiers. Resilience is measured by the Global Assessment Tool (GAT), a self-report inventory designed to provide confidential feedback to Soldiers about their personal level of resilience along four dimensions (Emotional, Family, Social, and Spiritual). The first set of de-identified GAT data made available for analysis included responses from Soldiers who completed suicide in 2010, Soldiers who tested positive for illicit drug use, …

Promoting Democracy In Prosecution, Russell M. Gold

Washington Law Review

Voters were meant to check prosecutors’ decisions, but that check has eroded because voters lack the information necessary to cast meaningful votes in prosecutor elections. Voters’ lack of an effective political check on prosecutors causes two related problems: (1) inefficient allocation of prosecutorial resources and (2) divestment of democratic sovereignty from the people. Prosecutors currently need not consider expenditures for incarceration or public defense because voters never see these costs and thus cannot hold their prosecutors accountable for them. Accordingly, these costs become an externality in the prosecutorial decision-making process, causing prosecutors to spend resources in socially inefficient ways. To …

Mechanisms For Eliciting Cooperation In Counter-Terrorism Policing: Evidence From The United Kingdom, Tom R. Tyler, Stephen J. Schulhofer, Aziz Huq

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

This study examines the effects of counterterrorism policing tactics on public cooperation amongst Muslim communities in London, U.K. It tests a procedural justice model developed in the context of studying crime control in the United States. The study reports results of a randomsample survey of 300 closed and fixed response telephone interviews conducted in Greater London’s Muslim community in February and March 2010. It tests predictors of cooperation with police acting against terrorism. Specifically, the study provides a quantitative analysis of how perceptions of police efficacy, greater terrorism threat, and the choice of policing tactics predict the willingness to cooperate …

Essay: Post-Conviction Death Penalty Investigations: The Need For Independent Investigators, Laurie L. Levenson

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Currently, no standards guide the police or prosecutors on when they should appoint new investigators to conduct post-conviction investigations. One would hope that common sense would lead them to use independent investigators—as opposed to those with conflicts of interest—without a formal rule dictating that they had to do so. Evidence, however, suggests otherwise. This Essay discusses why it is essential to institute more formal guidelines to maintain the fairness and integrity of the justice system.

In addition to the condemned inmates whose cases are often the focus of such post-conviction investigations, 140,000 inmates are currently serving sentences of life imprisonment. …

Executing The Will Of The Voters?: A Roadmap To Mend Or End The California Legislature’S Multi-Billion-Dollar Death Penalty Debacle, Judge Arthur L. Alarcón, Paula M. Mitchell

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Since reinstating the death penalty in 1978, California taxpayers have spent roughly $4 billion to fund a dysfunctional death penalty system that has carried out no more than 13 executions. The current backlog of death penalty cases is so severe that most of the 714 prisoners now on death row will wait well over 20 years before their cases are resolved. Many of these condemned inmates will thus languish on death row for decades, only to die of natural causes while still waiting for their cases to be resolved. Despite numerous warnings of the deterioration of California’s capital punishment system …

The Signaling Function Of Religious Speech In Domestic Counterterrorism, Aziz Huq

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

A wave of attempted domestic terrorism attacks in 2009 and 2010 has sharpened attention to the threat of domestic-source terrorism inspired or directed by al Qaeda. Seeking to preempt that terror, governments face an information problem. They must separate signals of terrorism risk from potentially overwhelming background noise and persuade juries or fact finders that those signals warrant coercive action. Selection of accurate signals of terrorism danger in the information-poor circumstances of domestic counterterrorism is arguably a central challenge today for law enforcement tasked with preventing further terrorist attacks. To an underappreciated extent, governments have used religious speech as a …

Campus Violence, Pamela Jenkins

DRU Workshop 2011 Presentations - Disaster Resistant University Workshop: Building Partnerships in Mitigation

Universities are often portrayed as sanctuaries of learning – of places where students, faculty and staff come together to think and talk about ideas.  After four or five years, a student leaves and takes this learning to his or her new workplace.  That view of college campuses is nostalgic and inaccurate. Colleges, like all parts of the community, are affected by a variety of crimes and criminal behavior.  How a university responds to this problem sets the stage for defining the institution’s climate.  It is not only about how safe students are, but more importantly how safe students feel.  In …

Federalism And Criminal Law: What The Feds Can Learn From The States, Rachel E. Barkow

Faculty Articles

Criminal law enforcement in the United States is multi jurisdictional. Local, state, and federal prosecutors all possess the power to bring criminal charges. An enduring question of criminal law is how authority should be allocated among these levels of government. In trying to gain traction on the question of when crime should be handled at the federal level and when it should be left to local authorities, courts and scholars have taken a range of approaches. Oddly, one place that commentators have not looked for guidance on how to handle the issue of law enforcement allocation is within the states …
