Risk And Public Judgments On Police Pursuits: A Nationally Representative Conjoint Experiment, Scott M. Mourtgos, Ian T. Adams, Kyle Mclean, Geoffrey P. Alpert Jan 2026

Risk And Public Judgments On Police Pursuits: A Nationally Representative Conjoint Experiment, Scott M. Mourtgos, Ian T. Adams, Kyle Mclean, Geoffrey P. Alpert

Faculty Publications

Police vehicle pursuits emphasize a central tension between law enforcement imperatives and public safety. While modern policies emphasize balancing apprehension needs against risks of continuation, little is known about whether public intuitions mirror this framework. We address this gap using a nationally representative conjoint experiment (N = 3,334) that varied eleven contextual factors across randomized pursuit scenarios. Respondents rated perceived risk, indicated whether pursuits should be terminated, and made forced-choice tradeoffs. Across all outcomes, high-risk situational factors (e.g., high speeds, adverse weather, heavy traffic, urban settings, etc.) increased perceived danger and termination support, while more serious underlying offenses, particularly …


Time As A Constitutional Constraint: Resolving The Circuit Split On Prolonged Fourth Amendment, Ian Seabrooks Jan 2026

Time As A Constitutional Constraint: Resolving The Circuit Split On Prolonged Fourth Amendment, Ian Seabrooks

Washington Law Review Online

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. . . .” Some circuits, like the Ninth and D.C. Circuits, have interpreted the Fourth Amendment’s reasonableness standard to apply beyond just the initial seizure of property but also to include the continued retention of the seized property. Other circuits, such as the First, Second, Sixth, Seventh, and Eleventh Circuits, have read the reasonableness standard more narrowly and interpreted this requirement to pertain only to the original seizure. …

An Introduction To Oral Traditions And Poetry Of The Baloches, Emran Dorrazehi Jan 2026

An Introduction To Oral Traditions And Poetry Of The Baloches, Emran Dorrazehi

English Dissertations - Archive

There is not much known about the history and literature of the Baloches besides the translation and transliteration of Mansel Longworth Dames. Dames while serving as an official in the region wrote a book, Popular Poetry of the Baloches (1907) in two volumes. Dames translated a series of oral poetry of his subjects. This dissertation utilized 13 poems from Dames’ transliterations and employed a compensatory, creative and restorative translation to recreate their earlier states.  It is the assertion of this dissertation that the poems given to Dames by minstrels were already heavily censored to reflect Islamic, Mongol and Mughal identities. …


Safety Valves In Charter Analysis:A Quick Fix Rather Than A Structural Solution, Jamie Chai Yun Liew Jan 2026

Safety Valves In Charter Analysis:A Quick Fix Rather Than A Structural Solution, Jamie Chai Yun Liew

The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

A safety valve is a flap, lid or device that acts as a fail-safe. For those unfortunate to have experienced backflow into your home, a safety valve installed in a sewer line permits wastewater to exit while blocking unwanted backflow. It is a reliable and indispensable tool in this context. The legal world has adopted this term in constitutional analyses. This paper examines whether legal safety valves do provide relief. First, the paper provides an overview of how safety valves have been installed in the Supreme Court of Canada’s legal analyses. Then the paper provides a sober discussion of how …

Always Elsewhere: Constitutional Rights In Ccr, Audrey Macklin, Josh Blum

The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

The Canada-United States Safe Third Country Agreement (“STCA”) requires refugee claimants travelling overland to seek protection in the first country of arrival as between Canada and the United States. The Federal Court determined that the United States’ detention practices did not comply with minimum human rights standards, such that Canada breached section 7 obligations to the applicant refugee claimants by deflecting them back to the United States. The Federal Court of Appeal overturned the decision, and the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal. The authors review the CCR judgment and present it as a cautionary tale about how a …


A Necessary Realignment:Section 7 Engagement In Canadian Council For Refugees, Jacqueline Swaisland, Alison Imrie Jan 2026

A Necessary Realignment:Section 7 Engagement In Canadian Council For Refugees, Jacqueline Swaisland, Alison Imrie

The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This paper explains how the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Canadian Council for Refugees repudiates decades of section 7 jurisprudence in the immigration law context and mandates that it be realigned with the section 7 jurisprudence outside of it. The paper sets out how Courts in the immigration context continue to apply decades-old jurisprudence which unilaterally declared that section 7 cannot be engaged by a person’s removal from Canada. It also explains how the Courts incorporated a remoteness barrier into the causation analysis which further prevented section 7 scrutiny of government action in the immigration context in all but …


A New Justification For Section 12 Hypotheticals Andtwo Rules For Constructing Them, Lisa Kerr, Michael Perlin Jan 2026

A New Justification For Section 12 Hypotheticals Andtwo Rules For Constructing Them, Lisa Kerr, Michael Perlin

The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

The use of the reasonable hypothetical device in the section 12 context has been a source of unceasing controversy. The Supreme Court has tried to lay the debate to rest; but we argue that there are convincing and practical reasons for the use of hypotheticals which the Court could do more to explain, as a way to persuade skeptics. These reasons are tied to the realities of the criminal justice system and how mandatory penalties can shape penal outcomes in covert ways, apart from, and in addition to, delivering cruel and unusual punishment to individuals. Along with articulating this new …


Equality Rights And The Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, Sharryn J. Aiken, Colin Grey Jan 2026

Equality Rights And The Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, Sharryn J. Aiken, Colin Grey

The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Under the Canada-United States Safe Third Country Agreement (“STCA”), Canadian immigration officials return refugee protection claimants arriving from the United States to have their claims determined in that country, and vice versa. This paper tries to tease out the equality rights arguments under section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms likely to be advanced in an ongoing constitutional challenge to the STCA and its implementing regulations. The paper briefly explores why equality rights challenges have often been given short shrift in cases involving “migration control”. We argue such cursory treatment is inappropriate in the challenge to the …

Symbolic Reform Or Substantive Change? The Effect Of Body-Worn Camera Implementation On Lethal Use-Of-Force In Missouri, Sophia A. Tuncer Jan 2026

Symbolic Reform Or Substantive Change? The Effect Of Body-Worn Camera Implementation On Lethal Use-Of-Force In Missouri, Sophia A. Tuncer

CMC Senior Theses

This thesis investigates whether body-worn cameras reduce lethal use-of-force among police departments in Missouri. Aggregating data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and Mapping Police Violence, I create a panel of 188 cities in Missouri, with and without body-worn camera adoption. The OLS and Poisson regression results show that body-worn cameras do not have a significant effect on lethal use-of-force in the short run, but that the technology does significantly lower lethal use-of-force in the medium run.


Restoring Justice: Evaluating The First Step Act's Legal Framework For Rehabilitation And Recidivism Reduction, Bryana Hamilton Jan 2026

Restoring Justice: Evaluating The First Step Act's Legal Framework For Rehabilitation And Recidivism Reduction, Bryana Hamilton

Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal

The First Step Act of 2018 represents a significant congressional effort to steer the federal criminal justice system towards rehabilitation and recidivism reduction. By requiring evidence-based programming and incentivizing inmates’ participation in rehabilitative programs, Congress aimed to integrate restorative justice principles into federal incarceration and inmate reentry policy. While this act was intended to promote rehabilitative justice, implementation by the Bureau of Prisons remains inconsistent, resulting in many of the Act’s rehabilitative goals being unachieved. This paper examines the legislative intent, fundamental construction, and judicial interpretation of the First Step Act to assess whether the Act effectively creates enforceable rehabilitative …
