The Use Of Code-Switching By African-American Teachers In Inner-City Classrooms, Yvonne Wilson Jan 2020

The Use Of Code-Switching By African-American Teachers In Inner-City Classrooms, Yvonne Wilson

Wayne State University Dissertations

Language and its use in classrooms has a significant impact on student motivation and self-perception (Delpit, 1988; Lei, 2009). Even more curious and significant is the motivation of teachers that intentionally use culturally-specific language and affectations, also known as code-switching, as an instructional device. This dissertation will examine the use of code-switching by African-American or Black teachers in urban, non-White classrooms. It will explore the foundations of sociolinguistics, specifically, language as a social construct (Gumperz; 1982; Gal, 2014; Levinson, 2015), as well as a communicative tool. In the span of the research contained in this dissertation, 12 African-American teachers will …


The Machinery Of International Law And Democratic Backsliding: The Problem Of Term Limits, Tom Ginsburg Jan 2020

The Machinery Of International Law And Democratic Backsliding: The Problem Of Term Limits, Tom Ginsburg

Articles

Utilizing a comprehensive panel dataset spanning from 1900 to 2020, this study introduces an innovative methodology for the analysis and categorization of legal documents, specifically national constitutions. Contrary to the predominant reliance on unsupervised methods within the field, this research incorporates a supervised machine-learning approach, notably the SEMMS method, alongside traditional unsupervised algorithms. This dual approach facilitates a nuanced analysis of the human rights provisions contained within national constitutions, resulting in the identification of both traditional and novel constitutional groupings. Broadly speaking, the more traditional common law-civil law divide does not seem particularly relevant in this context. Furthermore, our methodology …

Lights, Camera, Anxiety: The Spotlight Effect, Social Anxiety And The Perception Of Gaze Direction, Allison S. Bernique Jan 2020

Lights, Camera, Anxiety: The Spotlight Effect, Social Anxiety And The Perception Of Gaze Direction, Allison S. Bernique

Undergraduate Review

The goal of the current project was to replicate and extend research on the spotlight effect, a term used to describe the feeling of being the focus of others’ attention (Gilovich, Medvec, & Savitsky, 2000). The spotlight effect has been linked to social anxiety, or the fear of negative social evaluation and scrutiny (Lipton, Weeks, Daruwala, & Reyes, 2016); however, there is little literature on how the spotlight effect might be linked to distorted perceptions of others’ gaze direction (averted or direct). To address this gap in the literature, methods and materials from research on social anxiety, the spotlight effect, …

Prosecuting Members Of Defense Legal Teams And Its Ethical Implications For The Prosecutor: A Proposal For A New Ethical Standard, Belle Yan Jan 2020

Prosecuting Members Of Defense Legal Teams And Its Ethical Implications For The Prosecutor: A Proposal For A New Ethical Standard, Belle Yan

Hastings Journal of Crime and Punishment

This Note explores improprieties and conflicts of interest that may arise when a prosecutor’s office investigates and files charges against defense counsel or a member of the defense legal team. Specifically, this Note focuses on such investigations and charges that arise from defense counsel’s representation of a defendant whom the same prosecutor’s office is prosecuting. The intimately adversarial and professional relationships between prosecutors and defense attorneys taint the legitimacy of any charges against defense counsel for alleged misconduct. The ethical standard proposed here suggests a non-waivable conflict of interest. This would assist the prosecutor’s office in avoiding the appearance of …


Pandemic, Protests, And Prison Reform? Why 2020 Is A Catalyst To Rethink Drug Policy, Keelia Lee Jan 2020

Pandemic, Protests, And Prison Reform? Why 2020 Is A Catalyst To Rethink Drug Policy, Keelia Lee

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article will argue for the abandonment of the current criminal justice system as it relates to drug offenses and for its replacement with a medical model to address the healthcare problem of addiction. The medical model approach calls for complete decriminalization of all controlled substances coupled with better rehabilitation and reintegration policies. This Article argues the criminalization of drugs has targeted minorities under the guise of keeping communities safe. It will look at the differences between the United States and Portugal, a country that has implemented the medical model, while also analyzing recent legislation in the United States addressing …

Elevating Nebraska’S Early Childhood Workforce: Report And Recommendations Of The Nebraska Early Childhood Workforce Commission, Susan Sarver, Catherine Huddleston-Casas, Cama Charlet, Renee Wessels

Buffet Early Childhood Institute Reports and Publications

Executive Summary The science of early childhood development makes clear that the early years, from birth through age 8, are a time of unparalleled human growth and development— and that healthy development during these pivotal early years requires reliable, positive, and consistent interactions between the developing child and familiar, caring adults. Because of today’s economy, in which most parents of young children work outside the home, families often rely on early childhood professionals to provide positive interactions and experiences that young children need to thrive. Yet, despite what we know about the critical role of early childhood professionals in young …

Are We Still Cheap On Crime? Austerity, Punitivism, And Common Sense In The Trump/Sessions/Barr Era, Hadar Aviram Jan 2020

Are We Still Cheap On Crime? Austerity, Punitivism, And Common Sense In The Trump/Sessions/Barr Era, Hadar Aviram

Hastings Journal of Crime and Punishment

Literature on “late mass incarceration” observed a contraction of the carceral state, with varying opinions as to its causes and varying degrees of optimism about its potential. But even optimistic commentators were taken aback by the Trump-Sessions administration’s criminal justice rhetoric. This paper maps out the extent to which federal, state, and local actions in the age of Trump have reversed the promising trends to shrink the criminal justice apparatus, focusing on federal legislation, continued state and local reform, and the role of criminal justice in 2020 presidential campaigns. The paper concludes that the overall salutary trends from 2008 onward …

Lay Judge And Victim Participation In Japan: Japan’S Saiban’In Trial, The Prosecution Review Commission, And The Public Prosecution Of White-Collar Crimes, Hiroshi Fukurai Jan 2020

Lay Judge And Victim Participation In Japan: Japan’S Saiban’In Trial, The Prosecution Review Commission, And The Public Prosecution Of White-Collar Crimes, Hiroshi Fukurai

Hastings Journal of Crime and Punishment

In September 2019, the University of California Hastings Law School hosted a symposium on Japan’s newly instituted public and victim participation systems in the criminal process. This paper addresses themes raised by five scholars' presentations at the symposium, covering the effectiveness and impact of three different newly adopted systems of lay and victim participation in Japan: (1) the new 2009 law of the Prosecution Review Commission (PRC), a Japanese-style “civil grand jury” originally introduced in 1948, which gave the PRC the power to force the prosecution of formerly unindicted cases, thereby challenging and reversing the prosecutor’s original non-prosecution decision; (2) …

The Effect Of Health Insurance On Crime: Evidence From The Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion, Qiwei He, Scott Barkowski Jan 2020

The Effect Of Health Insurance On Crime: Evidence From The Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion, Qiwei He, Scott Barkowski

Publications

Little evidence exists on the effect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on criminal behavior, a gap in the literature that this paper seeks to address. Using a simple model, we argue we should anticipate a decrease in time devoted to criminal activities in response to the expansion, because the availability of the ACA Medicaid coverage raises the opportunity cost of crime. This prediction is particularly relevant for the ACA expansion because it primarily affects childless adults, a population likely to contain individuals who engage in criminal behavior. We validate this forecast empirically using a difference‐in‐differences framework, estimating the expansion's …

The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program's Impact On Academic Self-Efficacy, M Storm Spencer, Katie Owens-Murphy, Yashica Williams, Christopher W. Purser Jan 2020

The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program's Impact On Academic Self-Efficacy, M Storm Spencer, Katie Owens-Murphy, Yashica Williams, Christopher W. Purser

Inside Out Prison Exchange

Building on the work of Sarah Allred, a faculty/student research team studied the impact of an Inside-Out course on academic self-efficacy at a maximum-security men's prison on North Alabama. Attention was also given to the demographic backgrounds of the students so that researchers could examine what, if any, role demographics played in the results.
