Effects Of Race And Tattoo Status On Criminality Judgements, Madelyn Wells, Gabriella Haddad, Helen C. Harton

Research in the Capitol

310 Prolific participants viewed eight AI-generated images of men who appeared to be Asian, Hispanic, Black, or White who were "suspects in an ongoing investigation." Participants viewed one of the two targets for each ethnic group, one with an arm tattoo and one without. Participants rated each target on characteristics such as intelligence, competency, and trustworthiness, and rated how likely they think it is that the target is the perpetrator. AI men without a tattoo were rated higher on positive characteristics, for all four races. Hispanics were rated the lowest, with or without a tattoo.

Mitigating Uas Airspace Risks Through Policy Innovation, Christopher Daniel Sidor

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, have become an everyday part of our lives. Once a technology reserved for the defense industry, UAS are now widely available and affordable in the commercial market. These systems have been used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, route mapping, and kinetic deployment of munitions. In modern warfare, drones have been at the forefront, leveraging new tactics, techniques, and procedures to enhance lethality and destruction. The integration of fiber-optic (FO) connected drones, first-person view (FPV) technology, and 3D printed munition-dropping devices in particular demonstrates a dire need for legislative intervention. These …

Building Competence And Confidence Through Experiential Learning: A Case Study Of The Bengal Triathlon, Caroline E. Faure Edd; Atc

The COSMA Journal

This descriptive case study examines the perceived effectiveness of the Bengal Triathlon, an experiential learning (EL) activity integrated into a sport management course at Idaho State University. Drawing on student reflections over three years, the study highlights how this experience enhanced students’ confidence and skills in planning and managing sport events, particularly in high-pressure areas such as risk management, event logistics, and customer service. Despite participation being a course requirement, a noticeable shift in student attitudes was observed. Students moved from seeing the event as a mandatory task to taking full ownership, driven by increased motivation and enjoyment. This case …

Capital Punishment And Domestic Terrorism: Reconsidering Domestic Terrorism As An Aggravating Factor, Josh B. Starner

Criminal Law Society Blog

Federal law permits the death penalty when an individual commits an offense after substantial planning to cause death or commit terrorism. Yet the ambiguity surrounding the term “terrorism,” particularly in domestic contexts, complicates the application of the federal statute. This Article argues that invoking the terrorism aggravating factor in domestic cases undermines the justifications for capital punishment and risks inconsistent enforcement. Drawing on recent examples, including the prosecution of Luigi Mangione and the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE officials, this Article illustrates how the “domestic terrorist” label can cause harsh prosecutorial discretion, intensify political polarization, and …

Race, Sexual Danger, And The Moral Logic Of Punishment In The Registry Era, Edith Meade

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Across U.S. history, sexual regulation has operated as a powerful tool for producing racial hierarchy, defining moral boundaries, and legitimating punishment. From the colonial construction of Indigenous “savagery” to the hypersexualization of Black Americans under slavery and Jim Crow, sexual deviance has repeatedly been mobilized to justify surveillance, punishment, and racial terror. This project argues that the contemporary sex offender registry, widely understood as a neutral mechanism of public safety, is best understood as a modern extension of long-standing racialized narratives that link sexuality, danger, and exclusion.

The purpose of this study is to examine how offender race and age, …

Friend Or Tether: How Regulation Can Cut The Strings Of Manipulative Chatbots, Steve Hammerton

Student Journal of Information Privacy Law

In the time since AI chatbots and other LLMs became widely available to the public, there has been a pattern of deaths linked to interactions with this technology. While it was settled in early 2026, Garcia v. Character Technologies serves as a case study of how AI chatbots can negatively prey on vulnerable groups in the absence of interventions to mitigate harmful AI behaviors and tragic human outcomes. There is not a singular approach to regulating the harmful effects of predatory chatbots; however, this paper advocates for a harms-based regime influenced by protections in human-subject research. In a sense, AI …

A Mixed Method Approach To Assessing The Feasibility Of Implementing The Ottawa Paramedic Physical Abilities Test (Tm) In The Australian Context, Samantha Sheridan, Rodney Pope, Renee S. Macphee, Alexander Macquarrie, Steven Fischer, Gavin Buzza, Hannah Stack, Lyndal Bolton, Jacob Grevell, Christopher Tony Sheridan, Jacinta Buckman, Russell Rayner

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Introduction: There is a need for evidence-based pre-employment physical fitness test standards in paramedic organisations. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing an existing, international, standardised pre-employment paramedic physical capacity test, the Ottawa Paramedic Physical Abilities Test (OPPAT^TM), in the Australian context. Methods: In this mixed-method feasibility study, 12 undergraduate paramedicine students completed two generic predictive tests - a three-minute step test (3MST₂₀) and a grip strength test - and two physical employment tests: the Ottawa Paramedic Physical Abilities Test (OPPAT^TM) and the New South Wales Ambulance Test (NSWAT) – and a …

Multiple Q-Dqn Algorithm Based Rumor Control In Social Networks, Zainab Hasan, Huda Naji Nawaf

Journal of Intelligent Informatics, Networking, and Cybersecurity

Malicious rumours on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and others can be widely disseminated because of social problems. It is challenging to manage a rumour once it gains growth and quickly moves throughout a network. One of the main issues with information dissemination is figuring out how to reduce the propagation of rumours within a social network. A deep reinforcement learning technique might be an effective strategy to manage the rumour issue. Deep Q learning network (DQN) has been used in the literature to mitigate rumors by selecting a blocker at each time step. In this work, the proposed …

Art Intervention In A Time Of Momentum: A Transformative Pedagogy On Immigration In Undergraduate Art Education, Marissa A. Gutierrez-Vicario

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This article explores how art education can address social issues like immigration through an art intervention at a university in New York City. The author, a Mexican-American educator, guides students in using art to critically engage with immigration, challenge oppressive structures, and envision a more inclusive world. Through storytelling and public art, students invite campus members to reflect on immigration, encouraging dialogue and critical thinking. The intervention highlights the complex nature of social-engaged art, fostering creativity and questioning societal norms while promoting discussions around identity, migration, and belonging in the pursuit of social change.

Civil Liability In Airbnb Transactions And The Legal Gaps In Consumer Protection In Vietnam, Tuan Ngoc Tran

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

The rapid growth of the collaborative or sharing economy has posed numerous challenges to traditional legal systems, particularly in relation to short-term accommodation. As a decentralized, intermediary platform, Airbnb raises complex legal issues concerning the allocation of civil liability, enforceability of contracts, and mechanisms for consumer protection. In the context of Vietnamese law, where there is a lack of clear regulatory frameworks to govern digital platforms, consumers risk having their rights infringed without effective legal remedies. The article focuses on three core issues: the legal classification of hosts on Airbnb, the enforceability of clickwrap contracts, and the cross-border enforceability of …

The U Visa At 25: Legislative Missteps, Bureaucratic Neglect, And Geographic Roulette, Jason A. Cade

Scholarly Works

A quarter century ago, Congress created the U visa with dual goals: protecting immigrant crime victims and facilitating law enforcement cooperation by removing deportation barriers to crime reporting. Yet the program as implemented has fallen dramatically short of these aims. This Essay provides the first comprehensive analysis of the U visa's structural failures at its twenty-fifth anniversary. Two fundamental design flaws plague the program. First, Congress capped U visas at 10,000 annually-far below actual need-while the immigration agency has consistently failed to implement congressionally-authorized interim protections. The result is that, as of 2025, applicants wait five years for work authorization …

Bruen As Heller: Text, History, And Tradition In The Lower Courts, Leo Bernabei

Fordham Law Review Online

The Constitution and conventional wisdom suggest that lower courts must follow the most persuasive interpretations of U.S. Supreme Court precedent. But that does not always happen. Scholars recognize judicial under enforcement of Supreme Court precedent in several fields. This Essay contributes to this scholarship by analyzing lower court applications of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, in which the Supreme Court held that firearm laws must be consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. The lower courts vary widely in their approaches to analyzing gun laws under this standard. On one end, a small …

Disarming Data: An Empirical Take On The Loaded Debate About Felon-In-Possession Of A Firearm, Jonathan Abel

UC Law Journal

This Article answers a crucial empirical question at the heart of the scholarly and judicial debates about the laws governing felon-in-possession of a firearm: How often do defendants charged with this offense have violent felony convictions? Using a comprehensive dataset of over 27,000 defendants charged in California from 2021 through 2024, the study provides a novel, large-scale analysis of how prosecutors deploy this most-common gun charge. The findings substantiate longstanding concerns that felon-in-possession is overbroad in its application to nonviolent felons—only 8.5% of defendants had a “violent felony” conviction as defined by California law, rising to just 28.8% under a …

Development Of A Framework For Identifying Asphalt Pavement Cracking Distresses Using Machine Learning, Dingxin Cheng

Mineta Transportation Institute

Asphalt pavement cracking is one of the most critical distresses affecting pavement performance and service life. When pavement deteriorates, it can lead to safety hazards, higher vehicle maintenance costs, and expensive repairs for cities and states—making early detection essential for everyone who relies on the roadway system. To address this challenge, the research team developed a prototype cracking identification system that integrates a customized machine learning model with computer vision algorithms. High-resolution images collected from drones or ground-based cameras are processed within the system to automatically detect and classify major cracking types. The core of the framework utilizes the You …
