Alaska's Plea Bargaining Ban Re-Evaluated, Teresa White Carns, John Kruse Jan 1991

Alaska's Plea Bargaining Ban Re-Evaluated, Teresa White Carns, John Kruse

ISER Reports

This article summarizes the findings of the Alaska Judicial Council's most recent evaluation of Alaska's ban on plea bargaining. The study found several major differences between Alaska's pre-ban practices and current practices that could be directly attributed to the ban. First, the standard for screening of cases was tightened immediately after the ban was announced, resulting in an increase in the number of cases not accepted for prosecution. According to most persons interviewed, the present screening policy is a positive influence on the quality of cases and a useful tool for prosecutors. The Alaska Judicial Council recommends that the present …

Selective Return Of Criminal Law Activity To Alaska Native Villages: Neocolonialism Or Revitalization Of Tribal Sovereignty?, Conn N/A Mar 1990

Selective Return Of Criminal Law Activity To Alaska Native Villages: Neocolonialism Or Revitalization Of Tribal Sovereignty?, Conn N/A

Conference papers

As Alaska struggles with criminal justice delivery to Alaska Native villages, many experiments have been undertaken or postulated which would reinvigorate criminal law activity in these rural places. Initial enthusiasm for alleviation of burdens on the formal system has been replaced with a state concern that village activity will be viewed as tribal activity. The author isolates areas where the needs of the state and villages can be met without feeding the flames of the conflict between state sovereignty and village tribal sovereignty.

Analysis of 1988 data on reported crime incidents from seven villages in the North Slope Borough suggests that crime rates for certain offenses may be …

The Summer 1988 issue of the Alaska Justice Forum features an article presenting 1985-1986 crime statistics for eight predominately Yup'ik villages in the Bethel area of Alaska, with preliminary analysis indicating that crime rates in rural Alaska may higher than statewide or national averages — although data from such a small sample should be viewed with caution.

Merging Social Control And Criminal Law In Small Eskimo Villages In Alaska — Can It Be Done? The Portrait Of The Inner Logic Of Social Control Governing Drinking Behavior And Its Relationship To Criminal Law Process, Conn N/A Apr 1985

Merging Social Control And Criminal Law In Small Eskimo Villages In Alaska — Can It Be Done? The Portrait Of The Inner Logic Of Social Control Governing Drinking Behavior And Its Relationship To Criminal Law Process, Conn N/A

Conference papers

The legal reaction by Yup'ik and Inupiat Eskimos in Alaska to drunken behavior has changed over time from one that penalizes drunkenness to one that seeks to prevent drinking. This new therapeutic approach interferes with any preemptive aggressive response by persons seeking to control an intoxicated person. Moreover, since the law perceives an intoxicated person as sick rather than bad, the traditional perception that an intoxicated person is not his normal self may be reinforced by the law. Indeed, a drunken person may act aggressively without fear of later community blame. The author concludes that the law should re-orient Native …
