Legal Endearment: An Unmarked Barrier To Transforming Policing, Public Safety, And Security, Emmanuel Mauleón Jan 2024

Legal Endearment: An Unmarked Barrier To Transforming Policing, Public Safety, And Security, Emmanuel Mauleón

Articles

The problems of racialized policing have come into renewed focus over the past decade. The advent of viral bystander videos has not only forced a popular confrontation with moments of both routine and extraordinary policing violence but also sparked protests, uprisings, and grassroots movements to challenge current practices in policing and determine what must be done to transform it. And yet, even after the mobilization of one of the largest racial justice movements in American history, transformative change remains elusive. This Article offers an answer to this puzzle by foregrounding White people’s collective relationship with policing and describing how this …


On The Importance Of Listening To Crime Victims . . . Merciful And Otherwise, Paul Cassell Jan 2024

On The Importance Of Listening To Crime Victims . . . Merciful And Otherwise, Paul Cassell

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

What role should mercy play in the criminal justice system? While several of the other symposium’s articles here in the Texas Law Review argue for expanding mercy’s role, I write to raise a cautionary note. Expanding mercy could potentially conflict with another important feature of contemporary criminal justice: the expanding role of crime victims. Because considerations of mercy focus exclusively on the offender, greater attention to mercy necessarily means less attention to victims. This change in focus would be at odds with a broadly advancing crime victims’ movement in this country and, indeed, in many countries around the world. This …

Prosecutorial Data Transparency And Data Justice, Perry Moriearty Jan 2024

Prosecutorial Data Transparency And Data Justice, Perry Moriearty

Articles

The U.S. criminal legal system is notoriously racialized. Though Black and Latinx people make up less than 30% of U.S. residents, they constitute more than 50% of the nearly two million people currently in U.S. prisons and jails. For decades, research has indicated that one group of decision-makers has had an outsized influence on these numbers: prosecutors. From whom to charge to what sentences to recommend, no actor plays a greater role in determining who goes to prison in this country. Highly subjective and lacking in formal guidance and accountability, prosecutorial decisions are especially vulnerable to racial bias. They are …


Why Mass Incarceration Is Uniquely American, Michael Tonry Jan 2024

Why Mass Incarceration Is Uniquely American, Michael Tonry

Articles

Mass incarceration, among Western countries a uniquely American phenomenon, resulted from a transformation of American criminal justice systems. Indeterminate sentencing systems in which legislatures established maximum sentences, prosecutors processed cases, judges decided who went to prison, and parole boards decided how long people stayed there were replaced by determinate systems in which legislatures prescribed minimum sentences, prosecutors made the key charging and sentencing decisions, judges processed cases and sentenced minor crimes, and parole boards lost much of their authority. Parole boards and judges become largely irrelevant whenever prosecutors file charges subject to mandatory sentence, three-strikes, truth-in-sentencing, and life without parole …

Exploring Perceptions Of Self-Compassion In Individuals With Complex Trauma Symptomology: A Qualitative Approach, Brooke Roseman Jan 2024

Exploring Perceptions Of Self-Compassion In Individuals With Complex Trauma Symptomology: A Qualitative Approach, Brooke Roseman

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

The aim of the present study sought to explore the perceptions of self-compassion through the perspectives of individuals who experience complex trauma symptomology and low rates of self-compassion to inform and enhance trauma treatment. Despite a growing accumulation of studies implicating self-compassion as an integral construct for alleviating symptoms associated with complex trauma, most research designs were quantitative and did not investigate the internal processes occurring within the individual. Based on this gap, the current study expanded the scope of the current literature to include a qualitative thematic analytic approach to better understand the nuances of how this population relates …


Land Use Policy Impact On Health Equity In Rural America Counties, Shayla Holmes Jan 2024

Land Use Policy Impact On Health Equity In Rural America Counties, Shayla Holmes

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

This dissertation investigates the relationship between land use policies and health equity in rural American counties. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the research scrutinizes eight counties across four states, examining publicly available data such as census details, land use policy documents, community health reports, and planning documents. The study is guided by two main research questions: 1) Are there land use policies in rural America that align with the creation of health equitable communities? and 2) Do health equitable communities within rural America feature equity in housing stock? The results from the thematic coding and content analysis of ninety-six …


Enhancing Commercial Driver Safety Screening For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Through Educational Intervention, Wendy Mortimer Jan 2024

Enhancing Commercial Driver Safety Screening For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Through Educational Intervention, Wendy Mortimer

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

This quality improvement project aimed to identify if an educational intervention will increase obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening in commercial medical drivers over six weeks. Eight healthcare providers certified as commercial medical examiners from a national occupational company in central Pennsylvania engaged in an optional educational poster for two weeks. A pre-and post-educational retrospective chart review was performed on 80 charts, 40 from pre-educational and 40 from post-educational. Each chart was reviewed to determine if the commercial driver was at risk for OSA and, if so, if the commercial medical examiner performed an obstructive sleep apnea screening. The educational intervention …

Rule Of Law As A Law Of Rules: A Template For A Sustainable Foreign Investment Protection System, Divesh Kaul Jan 2024

Rule Of Law As A Law Of Rules: A Template For A Sustainable Foreign Investment Protection System, Divesh Kaul

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

This article evaluates the relationship between rule of law and the foreign investment protection system. It illustrates that practice under foreign investment law presents the mechanism to appraise international rule of law principles. This work argues that rule of law not only provides a basis for the organization of public power but also sustains a minimum threshold of justice. A globalized rule of law, lying at the intersection of international law and economic globalization, provides the foundation of a minimum threshold and normative expectation for the international minimum standard with a focus on justice and individual rights. Accordingly, this work …


Automated Stategraft: Electronic Enforcement Technology And The Economic Predation Of Black Communities, Sonia Gipson Rankin, Melanie E. Moses, Kathy Powers Jan 2024

Automated Stategraft: Electronic Enforcement Technology And The Economic Predation Of Black Communities, Sonia Gipson Rankin, Melanie E. Moses, Kathy Powers

Faculty Scholarship

Automated traffic enforcement systems disproportionately impact Black communities in the United States. This Essay uncovers a troubling reality: while technologies such as speed cameras and red light cameras are often touted as tools for public safety by the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration, they disproportionately burden Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. The authors coin the term “automated stategraft” to describe this phenomenon—an insidious process that siphons financial resources from already vulnerable groups under the guise of law enforcement. In doing so, it exacerbates economic disparities and erodes trust in legal and governmental institutions.

This Essay delves into the biases inherent in …


Market Versus Policy Responses To Novel Occupational Risks, Robert J. Kramer, Elissa Philip Gentry, W Kip Viscusi Jan 2024

Market Versus Policy Responses To Novel Occupational Risks, Robert J. Kramer, Elissa Philip Gentry, W Kip Viscusi

Scholarly Publications

The unprecedented occupational risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic prompted employers to boost wages and federal authorities to propose hazard pay policies. This article estimates a market-based compensating differential for workers facing elevated risks through contact with the public using CPS employment data for 2019–2020 and occupational characteristic data from the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network. The estimated premium for exposure was roughly $820 overall and $1000 for essential workers. These premiums fall short of those proposed—but not enacted—by the federal government and are more commensurate with estimates of the value of a statistical life than were the …


Evaluating Superfund Effectiveness And Community Engagement: Smurfit-Stone Mill Case Study, Abigail M. Sherwood Jan 2024

Evaluating Superfund Effectiveness And Community Engagement: Smurfit-Stone Mill Case Study, Abigail M. Sherwood

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

The Smurfit-Stone Mill operated in Frenchtown, MT from 1957 until 2010, releasing toxic pollutants into the Clark Fork River and surrounding areas. Despite environmental protests since the 1960s, substantive action to remedy environmental damage did not occur until 2015. Stakeholders including local residents, Indigenous tribes, Missoula County, and environmental non-profits have advocated for comprehensive site characterization, a timely cleanup, and robust community engagement. While residents and visitors contend with elevated toxins in fish tissue, prompting a 100-mile fish consumption advisory near the Smurfit-Stone Mill, the Environmental Protection Agency is several years away from determining the scope of a reclamation. Community …

Concealed Carry Legislation And Firearm-Related Deaths In The United States: Possible Causes And Ramifications, Amelia Liu, Kyle Willette Jan 2024

Concealed Carry Legislation And Firearm-Related Deaths In The United States: Possible Causes And Ramifications, Amelia Liu, Kyle Willette

Scholarship in Medicine - All Papers

Background: Previous research has shown that there is not an association between the legislation of constitutional carry and firearm deaths, but rather it is predominantly associated with socioeconomic status and location. On the national scale, the factors that most significantly affected firearm related deaths, firearm homicides, and firearm suicides were partisan lean, urbanization, and poverty rate over these three categories. Concealed carry legislation was not significantly associated with deaths. Objective: We are looking at whether the passage of constitutional carry laws have impacts on the rates of firearm-related deaths or violent crime across states. Important variables we are considering include …


Print Media Coverage Of Digital Land Registration In Kenya: A Case Of Daily Nation And Standard Newspapers., Olgah Aluoch Atellah Jan 2024

Print Media Coverage Of Digital Land Registration In Kenya: A Case Of Daily Nation And Standard Newspapers., Olgah Aluoch Atellah

Master of Arts in Digital Journalism

Kenya's nascent digital land registration system has already captured the attention of the nation's print media. This study investigated how two prominent newspapers, The Daily Nation and The Standard, framed and presented this complex issue, potentially shaping public perception and influencing policy decisions. Key findings reveal a contrasting media landscape. While existing research explored media coverage of digital land registration elsewhere, understanding its portrayal within Kenya remained a critical gap. Anchored in Framing Theory and agenda-setting Theory, the study employed a strategic selection approach where months were strategically chosen based on their significance or key events because of the buildup …
