Cash Is King: How Market-Based Strategies Have Corrupted Classrooms And Criminal Courts In Post-Katrina New Orleans, 39 Seattle U. L. Rev. 1199 (2016), Olympia Duhart, Hugh Mundy

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship


On many accounts, it is a tale of two cities. The headlines and marketing machines tout to the world that “The Big Easy is Back.” But beyond the celebrations and parades, the story for poor Katrina survivors is very different. While many residents and businesses are enjoying a resurgence a decade after Katrina stormed through, others in post-Katrina New Orleans have a different experience. More than ten years after Hurricane Katrina, the city still struggles with systemic failures. These problem areas include housing, health care, mental health treatment, employment, education, and the criminal justice system. All of these challenges are …

The Jim Crow Effect: Denial, Dignity, Human Rights, And Racialized Mass Incarceration, 29 J. Civ. Rts. & Econ. Dev 15 (2016), Cecil J. Hunt Ii

The overarching theme of this paper is that the racialization of mass incarceration in America, which has been taking place since the latter part of the last century, and continues to this very day, is characterized by what I term, the “Jim Crow effect".

Archives Of Violence: Seeking And Preserving Records On Mass Sectarian Attacks In India, Surabhi Chopra Jan 2016

Archives Of Violence: Seeking And Preserving Records On Mass Sectarian Attacks In India, Surabhi Chopra

National Law School of India Review

ndependent India has seen multiple instances of systematic mass violence, targeted at minorities, and tolerated, if not facilitated, by the state. However, the preservation and publicisation of official records on these instances has been inadequate. This is despite such information being vital to preventing as well as responding to future episodes of mass violence. This paper examines the difficulties in obtaining official records on mass violence through the Right to Information (RTI) Act. It specifically looks at records concerning four instances between 1983 and 2002, in Nellie, Delhi, Bhagalpur, and Gujarat. The author concludes by proposing a framework to make …

Application Of Routine Activities Theory To The Study Of Residential Armed Robbery In Ghana, Neeh Nhai Lhayea Jan 2016

Application Of Routine Activities Theory To The Study Of Residential Armed Robbery In Ghana, Neeh Nhai Lhayea

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study utilized Routine Activities theory to explain deterrent and motivating factors associated with residential armed robbery in Ghana. Although several studies have examined crime through the lenses of Routine Activities theory, none such studies have been dedicated to the study of residential armed robbery in Ghana. This study, therefore, attempts to fill that void by applying Routine Activities theory to the study of residential armed robbery. This research samples 56 of armed robbers in three selected prisons of contemporary Ghana to provide a fuller criminological and descriptive analysis of the offence, the offenders, motivation and guardianship to committing residential …


Fourth Amendment Time Machines (And What They Might Say About Police Body Cameras), Stephen E. Henderson Jan 2016

Fourth Amendment Time Machines (And What They Might Say About Police Body Cameras), Stephen E. Henderson

Faculty Articles

When it comes to criminal investigation, time travel is increasingly possible. Despite longstanding roots in traditional investigation, science is today providing something fundamentally different in the form of remarkably complete digital records. And those big data records not only store our past, but thanks to data mining they are in many circumstances eerily good at predicting our future. So, now that we stand on the threshold of investigatory time travel, how should the Fourth Amendment and legislation respond? How should we approach bulk government capture, such as by a solar-powered drone employing wide-area persistent stare technology? Is it meaningfully different …

Comorbid Substance Use Diagnoses And Partner Violence Among Offenders Receiving Pharmacotherapy For Opioid Dependence, Cory A. Crane, Robert C. Schlauch, Susan Devine, Caroline J. Easton Jan 2016

Comorbid Substance Use Diagnoses And Partner Violence Among Offenders Receiving Pharmacotherapy For Opioid Dependence, Cory A. Crane, Robert C. Schlauch, Susan Devine, Caroline J. Easton

Psychology Faculty Publications

While previous studies find mixed evidence of an association between opioid use and intimate partner violence perpetration among community samples, initial evidence has detected increased rates of partner violence among individuals receiving pharmacological intervention for opioid dependence. The current study evaluated the role of current comorbid substance use diagnoses, a robust risk factor for violent behavior, on the likelihood of perpetrating partner violence among a high risk sample of offenders receiving pharmacological intervention for opioid dependence. The authors analyzed self-report data provided by 81 (55 male) opioid dependent offenders during a court-ordered substance use interview. Approximately one-third of the sample …

Overseeing Agency Enforcement, Rachel E. Barkow Jan 2016

Overseeing Agency Enforcement, Rachel E. Barkow

Faculty Articles

A big part of what agencies do — indeed, the core of their executive power—is law enforcement. Whether it is a statute or an agency regulation, agencies make sure that individuals and entities comply with the law. In the case of some agencies, such as prosecutors’ offices or police departments, all they do is law enforcement; they do not possess rulemaking or judicial powers. Even for agencies that possess an array of powers, including rulemaking, enforcement is typically a core part of successfully achieving their statutory mission. Agency authorizing statutes typically give the agency broad discretion to set enforcement policies …


Neuroscience And The Civil/Criminal Daubert Divide, Erin E. Murphy Jan 2016

Neuroscience And The Civil/Criminal Daubert Divide, Erin E. Murphy

Faculty Articles

In the modern constitutionalist tradition, the concept of constituent power imagined to be held by “We the People” is widely held to be foundational for the legitimate authority of constitutions. There is, however, a jurisprudentially questionable structural nationalist/statist as well as voluntarist/positivist character in the way that “We the People” as constituent power is predominantly conceptualized in the modern tradition. I will contrast this modern understanding with a different, revised understanding of constituent power as an integral part of a revised understanding of constitutionalism. That revised understanding is both cosmopolitan and post-positivist, even if sovereign states and positive law remain …


Rights And Regulation: The Evolution Of Sexual Regulation, Melissa Murray Jan 2016

Rights And Regulation: The Evolution Of Sexual Regulation, Melissa Murray

Faculty Articles

Since it was decided in 2003, Lawrence v. Texas has underwritten the effort to expand access to marriage to same-sex couples. It is curious that Lawrence has served as a foundation for same-sex marriage. After all, Lawrence was not a case about marriage—samesex or otherwise. Instead, Lawrence was a case about criminal sex and more specifically about limiting the state’s authority to regulate and punish nonmarital sex and sexuality. In short, Lawrence was a case about sexual liberty. The focus on Lawrence as a way station to samesex marriage has allowed us to overlook a developing threat to Lawrence’s values …


From War To Peace: When Democracy Prevails?, Izabela Pereira Watts Jan 2016

From War To Peace: When Democracy Prevails?, Izabela Pereira Watts

Saint Louis University Public Law Review

Why are some war-torn countries able to make the transition to democracy? This paper intends to bring to light central dilemmas originating from the efforts of building peace and democracy in fragile states after war. We will focus on understanding the tensions and contradictions in post-conflict democratization, the challenges facing interim governments and the role of the international community. We will first analyze the set of structural and common dilemmas of peace-building and democratization in the aftermath of civil war, such as temporal, systemic, horizontal, and vertical dilemmas. The paper highly contributes theoretically to the body of knowledge by proposing …

Alvaro Uribe Velez: Maintaining Popularity Despite Significant Government Scandals, Juliana A. Canas Baena Jan 2016

Alvaro Uribe Velez: Maintaining Popularity Despite Significant Government Scandals, Juliana A. Canas Baena

Scripps Senior Theses

Despite the scandals and the increase in violence towards vulnerable communities, Uribe and his government still had an extremely high approval rating. His popularity may be explained as a result of the majority of citizens benefitting from his policies because while they violate human rights, they function as mechanisms that support and enhance his success in delivering stability to Colombia’s middle and upper-classes. Moreover, Uribe did not address critics of his government or the media, instead he created a discourse that his government and its policies were responsible for successfully combatting the guerrillas and cartels and improving the economy. Thus …

Henry V British Columbia: Still Seeking A Just Approach To Damages For Wrongful Conviction, Emma Cunliffe Dr. Jan 2016

Henry V British Columbia: Still Seeking A Just Approach To Damages For Wrongful Conviction, Emma Cunliffe Dr.

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

“Henry v. British Columbia (Attorney General) was the first case in which a claimant sought damages under section 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for breaches of rights that led to a wrongful conviction and imprisonment. In its 2015 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada clarified the criteria for the award and quantum of such damages. In June 2016, Hinkson C.J.S.C. awarded $8,086,691.80 in damages to Ivan Henry in compensation, special damages and “to serve both the vindication and deterrence functions of s. 24(1) of the Charter”. This award reflected Hinkson C.J.S.C.’s findings that: Crown Counsel intentionally …
