The Relationship Between International Criminal Tribunals And National Militaries, Frank Rosenblatt

Journal Articles

This article studies the possibilities and perils of international criminal tribunals collaborating with national military forces to support the investigation and prosecution of international crimes. It does so through a case study of Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2002, where a multinational military peacekeeping coalition called Stabilisation Force (SFOR) headquartered in Sarajevo supported the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. Through that case study, the article extracts larger lessons potentially applicable to other post-conflict scenarios involving both military forces and international courts. Some ways that militaries and tribunals can work together are familiar, such as …

A Forensic And Historical Look At John Taylor’S Watch: Evidence Of Divine Mercy, Brian A. Warburton

BYU Studies

In June 2023, the Church History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the public availability of forensic and historical research recently completed on the pocket watch of John Taylor. Taylor, an Apostle of the Church at the time, was present when Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by a mob in the Hancock County Jail in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844. During the attack, Taylor was shot four times, and his watch was damaged. This artifact has long held a special place in the hearts of many members of the Church as …

Designing Sanctuary, Rick Su

Faculty Publications

In recent decades, a growing number of cities in the United States have adopted “sanctuary policies” that limit local participation in federal immigration enforcement. Existing scholarship has focused on their legality and effect, especially with respect to our nation’s immigration laws. Largely overlooked, however, is the local process through which sanctuary policies are designed and the reasons why cities choose to adopt them through city ordinances, mayoral orders, or employee handbooks. This Article argues that municipal sanctuary policies are far from uniform, and their variation reflects the different local interests and institutional actors behind their adoption and implementation. More specifically, …

The Confrontation Clause & State Action, John L. Watts

SMU Law Review

The Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause works in conjunction with the right to counsel and trial by jury to protect the people against the government’s abuse of its prosecutorial monopoly. However, the history of the Court’s Confrontation Clause jurisprudence has not always focused on the Sixth Amendment’s goal of limiting government power and was treated as virtually synonymous with the hearsay rules. In Crawford v. Washington, the Court restored the Confrontation Clause to constitutional significance by correctly identifying it as a procedural guaranty that empowers the jury to evaluate the reliability of government witnesses through live testimony subject to cross-examination. Unfortunately, …

Pirates Of The Academe: A Critical Criminological Analysis Of Intellectual Property Laws Criminalizing Filipino College Students Using Pirated Papers From Sci-Hub, Jasper Franz T. Mapa

Asia-Pacific Intellectual Property Management and Innovation Book Series

This study addresses the unrecognized impact of shadow libraries and piracy websites on copyright and intellectual property laws within academic institutions. Focusing on students from the Philippines who faced criminalization for using Sci-Hub, the study aims to provide valuable insights and bridge gaps in the existing literature from critical criminological perspectives. By exploring the criminalization resulting from intellectual property laws, student motivations for accessing Sci-Hub, and the social characteristics that influenced their usage, the researcher sought to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. Using snowball sampling, four participants were recruited for this study. The findings revealed four main themes: …

The Future Of Livestock Genetic Engineering In The United States: Going Against The Grain Or With The Herd?, Sam Harvey

St. Thomas Law Review

For several years, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have carried tension over which agency should regulate genetically modified livestock. Recently, this tension has boiled over with the release of many articles and statements from each organization as they battle over regulatory authority, most notably the USDA's claim that they are ready to take the bull by the horns and control the regulation of genetically engineered livestock. This note examines history and present-day practices to predict which agency will succeed in this battle of regulations, the USDA or the FDA.

Time For Reform, Not Abolition: Balancing Justice And Morality Through Amendment Of The Federal Death Penalty, Madison Steinkamp

St. Thomas Law Review

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan addressed Congress, saying it was "scandalous and intolerable" that federal law did not provide for an enforceable death penalty.' Ten years prior, following a brief moratorium on its application, the death penalty had been ruled constitutional. While thirty-five states had already reinstated the death penalty at the state level and constitutionally executed ninety-three prisoners since 1976, Congress had not yet enacted the rational, objective standards necessary for applying the death penalty constitutionally. In the year following his speech to Congress, President Reagan successfully signed the federal death penalty into law through the Anti-Drug Abuse Act …

Lessons From Rwanda: Why The U.K. Should Promote Reconciliation Through Localized Strategies In Place Of Prosecutorial Amnesty, Jeremy J. Perillo

St. Thomas Law Review

The United Kingdom ("U.K.") has a long, rich, and complicated history, but is likely better known contemporarily through its icons, the late Queen Elizabeth II and Big Ben, for example. Beyond that surface, formulated through its time as an expansive empire, is the complexity and controversy that comes with being the U.K., a prominent global hegemonic power throughout generations. One such complexity that has spanned centuries is the demarcation between Northern Ireland ("N.I.") and the Republic of Ireland. In early September 2023, the U.K.'s House of Commons ("Parliament") passed the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act ("the Act"), intending …

How Can Law Enforcement Use Technology To Protect Citizens Justly?, Zach Kantenwein

Emerging Writers

This paper explores the danger of emerging artificial intelligence technology perpetuating racial injustice in law enforcement and how police can ensure the protection of citizens amid this information age. We dissect a real-world case in which AI predictive policing technology resulted in alarming racial discrimination against American minority citizens. We discuss the possible explanations for this result and explore the limitations of artificial intelligence technology. Furthermore, we brainstorm methods for ensuring American citizens' just and constitutional protection as new technology is developed and tested. We propose implementing transparency laws that make the details about any policing technology and surveillance available …

The Extent To Which The Humanistic Approach In Japanese Juvenile Training Schools Affects Recidivism, Natalie Bui

AUCTUS: The Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship

Japan’s juvenile justice system is regarded as one of the most unique and successful implementations of reformative justice. This approach has remained effective in maintaining Japan’s low rates of juvenile delinquency and recidivism, despite massive changes in Japanese society over the past decade. While Japan’s crime seems to be on an impressive decline, the United States continues to struggle with social control, juvenile delinquency, and, more recently, demands for justice reform from social movements like the Black Lives Matter Movement. The American juvenile justice system needs reform now more than ever and where better to get inspiration, than the industrialized …

From White Noise To Sound Decisions: Overcoming Noise In Corporate Law, Maria Lucia Passador

American University Business Law Review

This article explores the realm of noise, which is characterized by the lack of discernible patterns and unpredictable nature, distinguishing it from biases in terms of features, implications, and solutions. After examining the integration of behavioral economics into legal matters, the article delves into the application of this framework in the context of corporate law.

Studying noise into corporate law offers valuable insights into specific areas. Needless to say, this paper sheds light on the legal practice of corporate law, encompassing aspects such as contractual matters, M&A due diligence, and corporate governance. Understanding the complexities of corporate transactions is particularly …

Real Versus Perceived Crime Rates: Examining Causes Of The Disconnect Between Fear And Reality, Sage L. Eck-Miller

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

Americans are more fearful of crime than at any other point in the past two decades, even though crime rates are at the lowest point in close to 30 years. Previous literature has examined various causes of this exaggerated fear, ranging from gender differences to perceived neighborhood disorder as the cause. There have been multiple findings suggesting that neighborhood disorder plays a significant role in creating fear of crime. The presence of trash, unkempt lawns, and run-down properties lead people to believe crime is worse in their area than it actually is. This study examines fear of crime in association …
