UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The current California HIV transmission statute is ineffective because the intentional exposure mens rea requirement drastically limits prosecutors' ability to show culpability for those who expose others to HIV through sexual activity.

From Punitive To Proactive: An Alternative Approach For Responding To Hiv Criminalization That Departs From Penalizing Marginalized Communities, Angela Perone

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Laws passed during the early stages of the HIV epidemic targeted people with HIV before researchers fully understood transmission and prevention of the disease. These laws now serve as vestiges of fear and misinformation about HIV transmission. These laws also perpetuate systems of inequality by enabling bias and misinformation to permeate the courts. As such, new approaches to HIV transmission should move from a punitive model and more toward a proactive transformative model. This article proposes a multi-pronged approach to destigmatize and decriminalize HIV involving community, legislative, and educational structural changes.

It briefly describes Idaho’s people, politics, and budgeting process. After discussing developments in Idaho’s economy and General Fund revenues, it reports on the governor’s budget recommendations and the legislature’s actions. It then considers impacts …
