Healing Communities With Police Divestment: Seeking Abolition Through Transformative Reform And Community-Government Collaboration, Jessica E. Gillson
Healing Communities With Police Divestment: Seeking Abolition Through Transformative Reform And Community-Government Collaboration, Jessica E. Gillson
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Concerns about the efficacy and sustainability of the U.S. carceral system have persisted throughout the country’s history, recently fueling renewed activism and bipartisan calls for reform. However, proposed solutions remain divisive. This thesis first defines the current status of our prison systems, then explores collaborative alternatives to incarceration and policing that support communities and break cycles of incarceration.
Focusing on partnerships among local governments, community organizations, justice-involved individuals, and law enforcement, this study examines holistic approaches to crime prevention, reentry, and reintegration. Using an interdisciplinary framework incorporating restorative justice, community resilience, and systems theory, it investigates how community-based strategies can …

Survival Of The Social Interest: Redefining The Bruen Standard To Protect Women From Violence Through United States V. Rahimi, Katelyn M. Sundstrom
Survival Of The Social Interest: Redefining The Bruen Standard To Protect Women From Violence Through United States V. Rahimi, Katelyn M. Sundstrom
Lewis & Clark Law Review
This Note explores the intersection of gun rights and gender-based violence within the U.S. legal system. It delves into the pervasive issue of domestic violence and explores the 2022 Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which rejected the use of “interest balancing” in evaluating gun regulations in favor of a purely historical and traditional approach. This shift placed significant legal scrutiny on existing firearm restrictions, including 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.
The analysis centers on the 2023 case United States v. Rahimi, …

Racial Disparities In Crime-Based Removal Proceedings, Emily Ryo, Ian Peacock, Weston Ley, Christopher Levesque
Racial Disparities In Crime-Based Removal Proceedings, Emily Ryo, Ian Peacock, Weston Ley, Christopher Levesque
Faculty Scholarship
Whether and to what extent racial minorities experience harsher treatment or face worse outcomes in court are questions of fundamental importance for any justice system. Questions of racial inequality are especially salient in the context of removal proceedings that are triggered by immigrants’ criminal history. Many individuals in crime-based removal proceedings are immigrants of color who face a host of legal disadvantages that are tantamount to double penalties for the same crime for which they have already been punished through the criminal justice system. This Article offers, for the first time, systematic empirical analyses of crime-based removal proceedings decided between …

“Murder The Media”: Press Freedom, Violence, And The Public Sphere, Joseph Blocher
Faculty Scholarship
The first goal of this chapter is to argue that the press as an institution is entitled to special solicitude under the First Amendment, not only because it is textually specified in the Constitution or because it serves important roles such as checking public and private power, but because it can contribute to the marketplace of ideas in ways that a healthy democracy needs. In other words, the press as an institution can provide an important link between the First Amendment’s epistemic and democratic values. The chapter’s second goal is to provide a rough and preliminary sketch of the relationship …
Criminalization Of Immigration, Emily Ryo, Jennifer M. Chacón, Cecilia Menjívar
Criminalization Of Immigration, Emily Ryo, Jennifer M. Chacón, Cecilia Menjívar
Faculty Scholarship
This article presents a critical analysis of social scientific research from the past fifteen years on the criminalization of immigration in the United States. Our review reveals three central themes. First, although immigration law is considered federal civil law, immigration enforcement has become substantially intertwined with criminal law enforcement in ways that have broad-ranging and radiating effects on immigrant communities of color. Second, race plays an important bidirectional role in the increasing criminalization of immigration. Specifically, criminalizing immigration results in the racialization of certain immigrant groups as dangerous outsiders, and such racialization has the effect of sustaining and promoting the …
Sex Crimes And Progressive Prosecution: Reimagining Sex Offenses And Sorn Laws As An Opportunity For Criminal Justice Reform, Kana Turley
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
As progressive efforts to reform the U.S. criminal legal system continue to take form, one category of crime has been consistently overlooked: sex offenses. While the carceral system is often condemned for its excessive punitiveness, severe punishments for sex offenders remain largely unchallenged and even popular. A primary example of these punishments is sex offender registration and notification (SORN) laws, which significantly constrain the lives of sex offenders after they have served their time in prison. Though subject to decades of empirical criticism from scholars, much of which has found that SORN laws have no significant impact on sex offender …
Fortifying Nuclear Security: Cultivating Vigilance Culture Among Personnel For Enhanced Prevention And Response, Sabariah Kader Ibrahim, Sonia Naz
Fortifying Nuclear Security: Cultivating Vigilance Culture Among Personnel For Enhanced Prevention And Response, Sabariah Kader Ibrahim, Sonia Naz
International Journal of Nuclear Security
A vigorous nuclear security culture is crucial in preventing the theft and sabotage of nuclear material. It requires vigilance from all employees because relying solely on closed-circuit television systems and security personnel is insufficient to deter potential threats. Employee attentiveness plays a vital role in recognizing and preventing suspicious activities. However, achieving a strong security culture is challenging because of the lack of incidents in some facilities, leading to employee complacency.
This paper highlights the pivotal role of personnel in the success of nuclear security measures, emphasizing the need for a proactive and vigilant mindset among staff. Through the analysis …
Women In Nuclear Security: The United Arab Emirates Story, Mohamad Z. Zineddin
Women In Nuclear Security: The United Arab Emirates Story, Mohamad Z. Zineddin
International Journal of Nuclear Security
Historically in the United Arab Emirates, security personnel stationed at nuclear sites were typically men with military or policing backgrounds. Although these groups bring important, transferrable skills and experience to the nuclear security mission, some Emirati stakeholders recognize the increased benefit of a greater diversity of voices and backgrounds within the nuclear security team hierarchy. By recruiting from a wider range of disciplines and encouraging gender diversity, the security team could develop broader insight into security challenges, and a greater variety of perspectives could bring forth more innovative solutions.
When aligning a diverse, multinational workforce with a common mission, all …
Teaching Client Counseling In The Shadow Of Homelessness, Gregory Zlotnick
Teaching Client Counseling In The Shadow Of Homelessness, Gregory Zlotnick
Faculty Articles
Working with clients at risk of or experiencing, homelessness teaches personal and professional humility like few other experiences in law school or the practice of law. Yet such sensitive work also provides an opportunity for law students to develop both a keener understanding of their own professional identity-with its capacities and limitations and critical counseling skills. This essay draws upon experiences gained in three distinct law school projects that work with clients at risk of or experiencing, homelessness.
After providing a brief overview of each project, the essay will explore methods used for training and supervising students during their counseling …

Residual Next-Day Effects Of Alprazolam On Psychomotor Performance And Simulated Driving In Healthy Normal Adults, Stevie C. Roszkowski, Shanna Babalonis, Marion A. Coe, Paul Nuzzo, Michelle R. Lofwall, Laura C. Fanucchi, Sharon L. Walsh
Center on Drug and Alcohol Research Faculty Publications
The prevalence of drugged driving has increased in the United States. Some drugged driving may be unintentional as prescription medications used as sleeping aids, like zolpidem, cause impairment after the predicted duration of therapeutic action has elapsed. The aim of this study was to determine if nighttime administration of alprazolam, a drug commonly prescribed off-label as a sleeping aid, impacts driving performance the following day. Participants were healthy adults (n = 15) who completed a double-blind, double-dummy, within-subjects inpatient study examining the effects of nighttime administration of alprazolam (0.5, 1, and 2 mg), zolpidem (10 mg), and placebo on driving …
Yes, The Founders Were Originalists, William Baude
Yes, The Founders Were Originalists, William Baude
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Jonathan Gienapp’s Against Constitutional Originalism accuses originalism of a kind of self- defeat, arguing that the Founders weren’t really originalists. But like Jefferson Powell’s sim- ilar argument forty years ago, which encouraged a shift from original intent to original meaning, Gienapp’s work may only help along a similar shift, this time from original mean- ing to our original law.
Gienapp makes four main claims: that the Founders’ Constitution wasn’t conventional law; that the Founders couldn’t agree on how to read it; that much of their fundamental law was unwritten; and that no originalist theory can account for this. As we …
Reconstituting Corporate Power & Accountability, Donald Braman, Theresa Gabaldon, Cindy J. Cho
Reconstituting Corporate Power & Accountability, Donald Braman, Theresa Gabaldon, Cindy J. Cho
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Modern society faces a growing crisis of corporate impunity. While corporations generate immense value, they increasingly inflict harm at scales that dwarf those of traditional street crime. Decades of deregulation, unchecked corporate lobbying, and a judiciary actively dismantling the administrative state have created a dangerous accountability vacuum. And just as federal oversight is collapsing, the Supreme Court's expanding preemption doctrine is handcuffing state regulators. This Article proposes a paradigm shift: the revitalization of state criminal authority, a power largely shielded from federal interference. Upon securing a conviction or deferred prosecution agreement, states should mandate that the offending corporation conduct all …
Climate Goodbyes: Reporting On Loss, Change And The Human Response In Montana, Madeline Jorden
Climate Goodbyes: Reporting On Loss, Change And The Human Response In Montana, Madeline Jorden
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
This portfolio explores how climate-driven environmental change intersects with long-standing tensions over natural resource management, tribal sovereignty, and rural identity in Montana. It consists of three stories: a historically low water year at Flathead Lake that intensified disputes between tribal dam operators and non-tribal waterfront homeowners; the first confirmed presence of invasive smallmouth bass in the Bitterroot River, signaling warming stream conditions and ecological disruption; and a political narrative from Colstrip, where coal industry workers cling to promises of revival amid economic and regulatory decline. Each piece illustrates how climate change acts not only as an environmental force but also …

Declarative Design For Spatial Analysis Models, Yassine Elouri
Declarative Design For Spatial Analysis Models, Yassine Elouri
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools in addressing complex spatial challenges across diverse domains, including urban planning, environmental conservation, and climate change. However, the technical expertise required to use GIS effectively, particularly proficiency in general-purpose programming languages (GPLs), remains a significant barrier to broader adoption. Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) have proven to lower this barrier by offering tailored abstractions that simplify problem-solving in specific domains. Despite their potential, the GIS domain lacks a formal DSL framework that bridges the gap between the design of spatial analysis models and their practical implementation. This research addresses this gap by proposing Gaia, …
Rethinking Misdemeanor Incompetence, Susan A. Mcmahon
Rethinking Misdemeanor Incompetence, Susan A. Mcmahon
Emory Law Journal
The competence to stand trial system is a “slow-moving tsunami” that has grown exponentially in recent years, capturing far more people than jurisdictions have the capacity to handle. As a result, individuals who are incompetent become trapped in pretrial competence purgatory, often detained in jail for months or even years. The harms of this system can be tragic. Competence detainees have died by suicide, starvation, and beatings. They are placed in solitary confinement, experience neglect and abuse, and deteriorate mentally and physically while confined. Often, these individuals are accused of misdemeanors. Often, they go through the competence process only to …
The Migration Of Abolition Theory, Matthew Boaz
The Migration Of Abolition Theory, Matthew Boaz
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This Article considers whether and how theories of abolition developed by criminal law scholars are transferrable to the realm of immigration enforcement. A key question is how abolitionist principles might be employed in support of critiques of the United States’ immigration regulatory regime in the same way that these principles have been deployed in denouncing racialized policing and an injurious, industrialized prison system.
This Article makes two contributions: First, it identifies and illuminates a methodology adopted by critical and decarceral criminal law scholars: (i) denouncing the harms of a structural system, (ii) identifying the normative justification(s) for this system, and …

High Impact Practices Student Showcase Spring 2025
The purpose of this project was to be able to learn about public history in a military history setting. The two key activities that I did were; creating an exhibit for a fellow Navy Veteran, and helping with an Oral History event at the museum where we heard from two World War II veterans. The exhibit was especially important to me as it helped me to tell the story of a fellow Navy Veteran. It was also a helpful experience for me to be able to create all of the advertising for the oral history event. These projects helped me …

The State[S] Of Confession Law In A Post-Miranda World, Eve B. Primus
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
Police interrogators often use lies, threats, subterfuge, and psychological pressure to coerce vulnerable suspects to speak. These tactics produce false confessions, contribute to racial injustice, and undermine the legitimacy of the criminal process. Despite a documented need for better regulation, theU.S. Supreme Court has watered down constitutional protections in the interrogation room, signaling its intent to delegate most regulation of police interrogation practices to the states. Reformers and scholars must think about how best to push states to fill the void left by the absence of federal oversight.
This Article catalogues four different state approaches to regulating confession law: procedural …

Police Misconduct: Combatting The Complicity Crisis, Eric Arnold
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
This Comment explores the current state of police reform in the city of Chicago, with a special focus on the various oversight agencies currently in force. Chicago has a long history of police misconduct, and the city has tried to make changes over the years to restore the community’s trust in policing. The police reform movement became especially prevalent in recent years following the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald by a Chicago Police Officer in 2014. This Comment will show why the current mechanisms in place are insufficient to bring the needed change to the Chicago Police Department, and that …
Towards A Federalism(S) Framework Of Punishment, Sheldon A. Evans
Towards A Federalism(S) Framework Of Punishment, Sheldon A. Evans
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
Federalism and its impact on criminal punishment is foundational to understanding the failures of mass incarceration. Scholars studying the negotiation of power between the federal and state governments have highlighted the increase of cooperative agreements that allow these levels of government to accomplish mutually beneficial outcomes for their overlapping constituencies. In the context of criminal punishment, however, such cooperation has devolved into a race to the bottom in a bipartisan push to punish. Consequently, the modern cooperative era of federalism has facilitated mass incarceration in many respects as a policy vehicle to accomplish a national tough-on-crime agenda.
This Article argues …
Institutional Structures Of Penal Inequality, Alexandra Natapoff
Institutional Structures Of Penal Inequality, Alexandra Natapoff
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
The U.S. penal apparatus is a bundle of wildly divergent practices. Police in some cities use more force than others. Prosecutors in some jurisdictions file charges automatically while others screen carefully. Public defenders in some counties lack zeal while others provide high quality representation. Offices that share the same name and perform the same basic legal functions—“police,” “prosecutor,” “public defender,” “criminal court”—actually operate according to highly disparate legal, professional, and normative standards. These differences give rise to a stratified criminal process in which a minority of defendants and cases are handled lawfully with attention and care, while a much larger …

Material, Health, And Social Vulnerability And Loneliness Among Older Adults: From The Welfare Regime Perspective, Ji Young Kang, Oejin Shin, Sojung Park, Jihye Baek, Minyoung Kwak
Faculty Publications - Social Work
Loneliness in later life is a significant global public health issue that negatively impacts well-being, life satisfaction, and mental health. This study investigates how material, health, and social vulnerabilities contribute to loneliness among older adults using a welfare regime framework. It examines the link between vulnerability and loneliness in the United States, Korea, Sweden, Spain, and Germany using the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) alongside its international sister studies, encompassing both Western and East Asian welfare states. Findings indicate that older adults in less generous welfare regimes experience higher levels of loneliness and material vulnerability. A multidimensional approach reveals that …
