“It Depends On Where You Go!” The Transnational Racial Consciousness Of Dominican Immigrants, Lucinda Bratini
“It Depends On Where You Go!” The Transnational Racial Consciousness Of Dominican Immigrants, Lucinda Bratini
Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations
This study aimed to explore transnational racial consciousness among immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Racial consciousness is the process whereby the people develop awareness and understanding of social oppression (Freire, 1971; Quintana and Segura-Herrera, 2003, p. 274). Fifteen self-identified Dominican immigrants participated in semi-structured interviews, focused on their understandings of skin-color, racialization, racism, and group membership. A grounded theory design framed from a constructivist and critical social justice approach guided the analysis of the data. The theoretical framework that emerged from the analysis of the data suggests a core narrative of “negotiating contradicting cultural scripts” about race and racialization and …
Book Review: The Law And The Older Persons: Is Geriatric Jurisprudence Therapeutic?, Jennifer Jedrzejewski
Book Review: The Law And The Older Persons: Is Geriatric Jurisprudence Therapeutic?, Jennifer Jedrzejewski
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Marshall Kapp discusses Therapeutic Jurisprudence, the study of law's healing potential and the actual impact of laws. He states that laws designed to help the elderly often focus on enforcement rather than assisting beneficiaries. Kapp suggests that TJ inquiries should include the effects on seniors, including discussions about regulatory control, increased costs, guardianship, long-term care, mental health, and research projects involving the elderly.
The Disjunction Between Prevention And Compensation Of Hip Fractures Among Elderly Citizens: The Law's Role In Creating Ex Ante Incentives, Janis Sarra
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article examines the relationship between the compensation for and the prevention of hip fractures among the growing population of seniors in Canada. Sarra postulates that the current system expends funds on liability protection that would be better spent on prevention. Options explored are no-fault compensation, redirecting legal resources, negotiated risk, and adjust[ing] the tax base to ensure that there are sufficient resources to support elderly individuals.
Prosecuting Crimes Against The Elderly While Addressing The Victim's Loss Of Autonomy, Preston Mighdoll
Prosecuting Crimes Against The Elderly While Addressing The Victim's Loss Of Autonomy, Preston Mighdoll
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Using three case studies as examples, Mighdoll illustrates the emotional problems encountered by victims after their abusers are removed from the situation. Often the victim has become so dependent on the abuser that independent living is no longer possible and relocation is necessary. The team efforts of the task force in Palm Beach County to work with these problems are described in detail.

Accountability And Evidence-Based Approaches: Theory And Research For Juvenile Justice, David Myers
Accountability And Evidence-Based Approaches: Theory And Research For Juvenile Justice, David Myers
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
As part of the ‘accountability movement’ in juvenile justice, policy-makers, funding agencies, and the general public have called for greater accountability from agencies and organizations involved with youthful offenders. Within this context, performance measurement and monitoring, and use of evidence-based programs and practices, have emerged as recommended aspects of juvenile justice system operations nationwide. Little is known empirically, however, about the actual performance of juvenile justice systems or the real changes brought by contemporary reforms, and theory and research on the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based approaches have been slow to emerge. This paper will review the key aspects of …

Grandparents' Visitation Rights: A Survey Of Reciprocal Kinship-Ties Based In Historical Common Law And Legislative Policies, Jane E. Atkinson
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article presents an in-depth exploration of the view that family ties and relationships should play an important role in determining grandparent-grandchild visitation rights, based on the important role of the extended family throughout recorded history. Atkinson postulates that post-Troxel visitation decisions should include increased consideration of the value to the child of grandparent visitation.

Aging Offenders In The Criminal Justice System , Ronald H. Aday, Jennifer J. Krabill
Marquette Elder's Advisor
As America is graying, so is the prison population. This article discusses the variable ways police treat elderly offenders, often depending on the nature of their infractions. Courts also vary in their treatment of elderly offenders. The greatest future challenges may be in the area of providing (and paying for) adequate health care programs for elderly inmates, especially those with mental health problems.
The Role Of Private Responsibility In Closing The Gap Between Knowledge And Practice In Long-Term Care, Marshall B. Kapp
The Role Of Private Responsibility In Closing The Gap Between Knowledge And Practice In Long-Term Care, Marshall B. Kapp
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Kapp discusses the expanding need for long-term care services by looking at the goal put forward by aging policy analyst Dr. Larry Polivak of closing the gap between knowledge and practice in the United States long-term care financing and delivery system. The article first discusses points of agreement between Kapp and Polivak's viewpoints. Kapp then discusses how their viewpoints diverge and puts forth his own policy views about public versus private responsibility as it applies to long-term care.
New Standards For The Involuntary Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: "Danger" Redefined, Elizabeth A. Mcguan
New Standards For The Involuntary Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: "Danger" Redefined, Elizabeth A. Mcguan
Marquette Elder's Advisor
McGuan's article examines the way legislatures have amended their involuntary commitment statutes to allow for the more aggressive commitment of the mentally ill. The article discusses whether the definition of dangerous conduct in an Illinois amendment deprives a mentally ill person of a fundamental liberty interest guaranteed by the Constitution. The article begins with an overview of mental health law in the United States since World War II, followed by an analysis of the constitutionality of the Illinois amendment.

Finding Safe Harbor: Protection, Prosecution, And State Strategies To Address Prostituted Minors, Darren Geist
Finding Safe Harbor: Protection, Prosecution, And State Strategies To Address Prostituted Minors, Darren Geist
Legislation and Policy Brief
The common policy of treating sexually exploited minors as criminals represents a fundamental failing of the justice system. Prostituted minors should not be treated as delinquents requiring discipline but rather as severely traumatized and abused victims requiring specialized services and counseling. Yet, in most states, prostituted minors are re-traumatized through arrest, prosecution, and detention instead of receiving specialized services. Besides being unjust, this policy is counter-productive. Arresting, prosecuting, and detaining minors hinders law enforcement efforts to go after the real criminals – the pimps and the johns, and misses an important opportunity to rescue minors from a system of commercial …
Bias Crime And Minority Threat, Michele Stacey
Bias Crime And Minority Threat, Michele Stacey
Dissertations
Beginning in the 1980s, the term hate crime became part of the research canon of criminologists across the United States. Researchers have examined the characteristics of hate crime victims, offenders, and offenses. However, little is known about the context of hate crime, and more specifically about the ways that the changing demographics of the United States have contributed to hate crime. The dissertation examines the relationship between these demographic shifts and the trend in hate crime from 2000 to 2007 through the use of population averaged panel models. These models assess changes over time and across place in the number …

The Relationship Between Legal And Extra-Legal Factors: How Judges Come To Make Their Decisions In Domestic Violence Cases, Ioulia Koublitskaia
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to understand how Trial Court Judges in state and city courts make decisions in domestic violence cases. The researcher examined the relationship between legal (e.g., evidence) and extra-legal factors (e.g., preconceived biases and behaviors related to judicial decision-making) using a qualitative research design. A case study of multiple locations in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes was used whereby a purposive sample of 17 current civil, municipal, and criminal court judges were interviewed. Judicial decision-making strategies were studied via face-to-face interviews, courtroom observations, and content analysis of courtroom communications (e.g., speech, written text, interviews, images, etc.). …
