Marijuana Enforcement In Nebraska (2009-2014), Nebraska Center For Justice Research, University Of Nebraska At Omaha
Reports
Purpose Examine trends in law enforcement and corrections related to the possession and sale of marijuana in Nebraska in the first full year of recreational legalization in Colorado. County Group and Statewide Comparison According to the testimony of county and state officials in September 2014, counties along the border, in the panhandle, and along the I-80 corridor should be the hardest hit by increases in marijuana arrests, jail admissions and associated costs. These differences should be especially pronounced when these county groups are compared to the remainder of the counties in Nebraska. In addition, we compare these trends to overall …

Exposure To Violence, Substance Use, And Neighborhood Context, Abigail A. Fagan, Emily M. Wright, Gillian M. Pichevsky
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
Adolescent exposure to violence and substance use are both public health problems, but how neighborhood context contributes to these outcomes is unclear. This study uses prospective data from 1416 adolescents to examine the direct and interacting influences of victimization and neighborhood factors on adolescent substance use. Based on hierarchical Bernoulli regression models that controlled for prior substance use and multiple individual-level factors, exposure to violence significantly increased the likelihood of marijuana use but not alcohol use or binge drinking. There was little evidence that community norms regarding adolescent substance use influenced rates of substance use or moderated the impact of …

Enlisting In The Military: The Influential Role Of Genetic Factors, Kevin M. Beaver, J. C. Barnes, Joesph A. Schwartz, Brian B. Boutwell
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
Given that enlistment in the U.S. military is completely voluntary, there has been a great deal of interest in identifying the various factors that might explain why some people join the military, whereas others do not. The current study expanded on this line of literature by estimating the extent to which genetic and environmental factors explained variance in the liability for lifetime participation in the military. Analysis of twin pairs drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) revealed that 82% of the variance was the result of genetic factors, 18% of the variance was …
Gay Liberation In The Illiberal State, Stewart L. Chang
Gay Liberation In The Illiberal State, Stewart L. Chang
Washington International Law Journal
A comparative analysis of incrementalist approaches to gay rights as they are deployed in the United States and Singapore demonstrates that seeking gay rights in a full democracy is actually no better than seeking them in an authoritarian regime. Incrementalism ultimately promotes sexual normativity by dividing the gay community into “good gays,” who deserve equal protections, and “bad queers,” who are further marginalized. Incrementalism in the United States began with decriminalization of sodomy and terminated with the recognition of gay marriage but did so by imagining gay sexuality within the context of committed relationships. The gay rights movement in Singapore …

Understanding The Pathways To Youth Involvement In The Juvenile Justice System: A Longitudinal Investigation Of Poor, Inner-City African American Adolescents, Charlene Harris
Theses and Dissertations--Family Sciences
It is widely recognized that African American youth are disproportionately represented in the juvenile justice system in comparison to other ethnic/racial groups, and this has generated a large body of research into the etiology and prevention of crime in this population. Although there has been considerable research attention to identifying and reducing the disproportionate contact among African American youth within the juvenile justice system, it is still unclear what factors contribute to their involvement in the criminal justice system. Accordingly, the dissertation tests whether self-reports of behaviors in early adolescence are predictive official offending behaviors in late adolescence, as measured …

Database Infamia: Exit From The Sex Offender Registries, Wayne A. Logan
Database Infamia: Exit From The Sex Offender Registries, Wayne A. Logan
Scholarly Publications
Since originating in the early-mid 1990s, sex offender registration and community notification laws have swept the country, now affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals. The laws require that individuals provide, update and at least annually verify personal identifying information, which governments make publicly available via the Internet and other means. Typically retrospective in their reach, and sweeping in their breadth, the laws can target individuals for their lifetimes, imposing multiple hardships. This symposium contribution surveys the extent to which states now afford registrants an opportunity to secure relief from registration and community notification and examines the important …

Jell-O Shots, Gordon A. Crews
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
A Jello Shot is an alcoholic beverage consisting of liquor incorporated into sweetened gelatin dessert and chilled in a small container. Given the various kinds of gelatin and liquor on the market, the types of Jello Shots are almost unlimited. Since the mid-1950s, people have developed their own recipes and personalized their production in various ways through the use of colors and chilling molds. Many do not view these as actual “alcoholic beverages” given the addition of what they have come to know as a sweet desert. A significant problem is that when people have this view then they often …
Privatization And Its Discontents: The Troubling Record Of Privatized Prison Health Care, Dan Weiss
Privatization And Its Discontents: The Troubling Record Of Privatized Prison Health Care, Dan Weiss
University of Colorado Law Review
As part of a decades-long national trend towards privatization, local governments have turned to private contractors to provide health care in American prisons and jails. Ostensibly, the driving force behind this phenomenon is a desire to cut costs in an era of expanding prison health care expenditures and contracting governmental revenue streams. Local government officials build the cost-cutting incentive directly into their contracts via fixed-rate payment structures and cost-sharing provisions for off-site emergency treatment. While these contracts encourage cost-reduction, they simultaneously discourage proper oversight; their indemnification clauses render local governments largely immune from financial consequences when contractors deny emergency care …
How National Park Law Really Works, John Copeland Nagle
How National Park Law Really Works, John Copeland Nagle
University of Colorado Law Review
This Article provides the first explanation of the relationship between three overlapping sources of national park law. It first explains how the Organic Act affords the National Park Service substantial discretion to manage the national parks, including deciding the proper balance between enjoyment and conservation in particular instances. It next shows how federal environmental statutes push national park management toward preservation rather than enjoyment. Finally, the Article explains that Congress often intervenes to mandate particular management outcomes at individual parks, typically but not always toward enjoyment rather than preservation. The result is that the National Park Service has substantial discretion …
The Argument For Moving Away From Residential Placement For Most Juvenile Offenders, Marika Dawkins-Cavazos
The Argument For Moving Away From Residential Placement For Most Juvenile Offenders, Marika Dawkins-Cavazos
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
This paper examines the theoretical and empirical argument or moving away from residential placement for juvenile offenders. To that end, the use ofres1dential placement for Juvenile offenders and incarceration for adult offenders are compared to shed light on the inconsistencies between rhetoric and actual practices as related to the deterrence theory. While residential placement and incarceration are generally regarded as two separate mechanisms, the literature suggests that residential placement is counterproductive and the U.S. must continue to reassess its approach to juvenile offending.

Supportive Housing Outcomes For Ex-Offenders: Correlations Between Criminal History And Tenancy Success, Emma F. Grochowsky
Supportive Housing Outcomes For Ex-Offenders: Correlations Between Criminal History And Tenancy Success, Emma F. Grochowsky
Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Theses
Ex-offenders face a variety of social, economic, and legal barriers to housing due to their criminal convictions. While many of these barriers exist due to the belief that convicted exoffenders are dangerous tenants, few empirical studies have actually evaluated this relationship. This study examines the relationship between criminal history and housing success for formerly homeless and low-income individuals in a supportive housing environment, both with and without criminal histories. Housing outcomes are measured through length of tenancy, lease violations during tenancy, and reasons for leaving. Implications for future research and housing policies are discussed.
