Procompetitive Justifications In Antitrust Cases Related To Companies' Coordination On Technology Development That Can Benefit Consumers And The Environment, Annie Soo Yeon Ahn

Denver Law Review Forum

As concerns about the environment increase, consumers have reportedly become more willing to purchase environmentally friendly products and services. To accommodate this, companies are developing environmentally friendly goods, which involves coordination among companies with similar goals. Annie Soo Yeon Ahn suggests that antitrust enforcement agencies and courts should carefully consider procompetitive justifications in antitrust cases concerning coordination on technology development. Further, procompetitive justifications should be considered when determining whether to apply the per se analysis or the rule of reason analysis.

Local Law Enforcement And The Human Right To Housing, Sophia Vander Kooy

Denver Journal of International Law & Policy

The homelessness crisis stands at a point of overflowing, affecting the world’s capacity to continue ignoring the problem. As the world globalized, vagrancy laws and pervasive stigmatization of the homeless community persisted, leaving modern-day social services with a failing ability to enact change. The United Nations first recognized the human right to adequate housing in the mid-twentieth century but has tried to strengthen this right over the past two decades. Law enforcement officers around the world interact regularly with individuals experiencing homelessness and are arguably tasked with being the front-line enforcers of the right to adequate housing. However, often, these …

Treatment For Mental Health And Substance Use: Spillovers To Police Safety, Monica Deza

Center for Policy Research

We study the effect of community access to mental health and substance use treatment on police officer safety, which we proxy with on-duty assaults on officers. Police officers often serve as first-responders to people experiencing mental health and substance use crises, which can place police officers at risk. Combining agency-level data on police officer on-duty assaults and county-level data on the number of treatment centers that offer mental health and substance use care, we estimate two-way fixed-effects regressions and find that an additional four centers per county (the average annual increase observed in our data) leads to a 1.3% reduction …

Covid-19 Has Strengthened The Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption And Domestic Violence, Monica Deza, Aaron Chalfin, Shooshan Danagoulian

Center for Policy Research

A large body of evidence documents a link between alcohol consumption and violence involving intimate partners and close family members. Recent scholarship suggests that since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home orders, there has been a marked increase in domestic violence. This research considers an important mechanism behind the increase in domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic: an increase in the riskiness of alcohol consumption. We combine 911 call data with newly available high-resolution microdata on visits to bars and liquor stores in Detroit, MI and find that the strength of the relationship between visits to alcohol …

Discontent And Discord: The Effect Of Anti-Government Animus On Compliance With The Norms Of Governance, Andrew F. Popper

Denver Law Review Forum

As distrust and discontent grows, public willingness to conform voluntarily with legal norms declines. The fact that the government is perceived negatively is not debatable. However, it takes years to transform the national belief structure. Professor Popper challenges why the federal regulatory state is perceived negatively. He tracks the devolution of public confidence in the government through the lens of tort reform and several regulatory agencies and programs.

Relationship Among Police Officers’ Alcohol Use, Child Sexual Abuse Material Exposure And Department Practices And Policies, Mahmuda Akter

Master's Theses and Capstones

This study explores the complex interplay of departmental practices and policies, exposure to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), social support, group connectedness, and gender in relation to alcohol consumption among police officers. The cross-sectional study utilizes self-reported data from 528 police investigators, forensic examiners and others connected with the criminal justice system from across the United States. Analysis reveals exposure to CSAM does not demonstrate a significant correlation with drinking habits among police officers. However, one significant positive relationship was observed between viewing CSAM that involves children aged 6 to 10 and drinking patterns. Furthermore, departmental practices are not associated …

From Greens To General Plans: Reinventing Abandoned Golf Courses, Chloe Carolyn Partain

City and Regional Planning

Police Funding As A Deficit Of Democracy, Not Deterrence, Anthony O'Rourke, Rick Su, Guyora Binder

Journal Articles

Professor Noah Smith-Drelich’s Funding the Police is a welcome addition to the growing literature on structural barriers to implementing abolitionist visions of public safety. Professor Smith- Drelich’s central argument is consistent with our findings, in Defunding Police Agencies, that external funding of local police agencies imposes a set of “indirect constraints” that ensure robust police budgets and disincentivize spending on non-police social programs that might better ensure public safety. We believe, however, that Professor Smith-Drelich may be too sanguine about the deterrence potential of constitutional tort judgments. Misconduct judgments are largely financed through commercial insurance and public borrowing. Legal changes …

Graph-Level Anomaly Detection Via Hierarchical Memory Networks, Chaoxi Niu, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Graph-level anomaly detection aims to identify abnormal graphs that exhibit deviant structures and node attributes compared to the majority in a graph set. One primary challenge is to learn normal patterns manifested in both fine-grained and holistic views of graphs for identifying graphs that are abnormal in part or in whole. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel approach called Hierarchical Memory Networks (HimNet), which learns hierarchical memory modules---node and graph memory modules---via a graph autoencoder network architecture. The node-level memory module is trained to model fine-grained, internal graph interactions among nodes for detecting locally abnormal graphs, while the …

Abolition And Environmental Justice, Allegra M. Mcleod

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

During the coronavirus pandemic, movements for penal abolition and racial justice achieved dramatic growth and increased visibility. While much public discussion of abolition has centered on the call to divest from criminal law enforcement, contemporary abolitionists also understand public safety in terms of building new life-sustaining institutions and collective structures that improve human well-being, linking penal divestment to environmental justice. In urging a reimagination of public safety, abolitionists envision much more than decriminalization or a reallocation of police functions to social service agencies or other alternatives to imprisonment and policing. Instead, for abolitionists, meaningful public safety requires, among other things, …
