Cyber Security And The Government/ Private Sector Connection, Jeffrey F. Addicott

Faculty Articles

The United States does not possess a sufficient cyber security framework. Over eighty-five percent of the critical infrastructure in the United States is controlled by private industry. The greatest concern is an intentional cyber attack against electronic control systems that regulate thousands of interconnected computers, routers, and switches. The centralized computer networks controlling the U.S. infrastructure presents tempting targets.

Generally, there are four types of cyber attacks. First, the most common, is service disruption—which aims to flood the target computer with data packets or connection requests, thereby making it unavailable to the user. The second type is designed to capture …

The Individual And Collective Consequences Of Mass Incarceration In The African American Community, Deon Larue Mcqueen

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

While over time the terms of reference (e.g., Negro, Colored, Black, African American, Afrikan) have changed, the degraded cast status of Black people has been an immutable constant. For the purpose of this paper, African American and Black will be used interchangeably. No other minority ethnicity, has attempted to assimilate into White American culture more than African Americans. African Americans carry European names, speak the language (opposed to speaking native ancestors’ languages), and also share many of the same religious beliefs. Yet the stigmatization of blacks as an inferior race remains constant. Today the words African American and criminal are …

Examining Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Among A Sample Of Individuals In Opioid Treatment Programs, Erin Stevenson

Theses and Dissertations--Social Work

National rates of chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) are rising alongside increasing reports of prescription opioid abuse and mortality. Associations between the rise in CNCP and in opioid abuse seem logical, yet research on CNCP among individuals with opioid dependence is currently limited due to the complicated nature of comorbid conditions in research and treatment. This study aims to expand the CNCP knowledge base by responding to the question: Do individuals with CNCP participating in an opiate treatment program have better or worse treatment outcomes than individuals without CNCP?

This study used a secondary dataset including 483 adults from Kentucky’s Opiate …

A Law Clinic Systems Theory And The Pedagogy Of Interaction: Creating Legal Learning System, Patrick C. Brayer

Faculty Works

This article introduces a clinical systems approach that reframes professional experience as an interaction with a professional environment. The article encourages clinical faculty and other legal educators to contemplate the pedagogy of systemic interaction when teaching from experience and to then expand professional interactive opportunities within the short period of student participation. Clinical systems theory operates on the premise that students should reframe how they look at their surroundings so that the challenges that make up their professional system are not seen as problems but as means to a solution. Reframing by the student is realized in a clinical system …

False convictions have received a lot of attention in recent years. Two-hundred and forty-one prisoners have been released after DNA testing has proved their innocence, and hundreds of others have been released without DNA evidence. We now know quite a bit more about false convictions than we did thirty years ago - but there is much more that we do not know, and may never know.

California And The Future Of Partial Match Dna Investigations, Jenny Choi

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Though DNA testing has been successfuly used in the United States since the 1980s, many high profile prosecutions have thrust this forensic tool into general acceptance as well as the public consciousness. In 2008, California broke new forensic ground, authorizing "partial match" DNA testing to augment the arsenal of law enforcement tools. This proactive technique has yielded substantial results, but has also opened the door to criticism.

This Note analyzes the history of DNA testing in California and nationally, including the progression towards partial match testing. This Note also considers constitutional, social, and policy concerns raised by the use of …

It states that the NCAA should implement a rule in 2012 which would allow them to revoke the eligibility of any student-athlete who is found to be responsible for committing a sexual assault.
