Of Raids And Returns: Sex Work Movement, Police Oppression, And The Politics Of The Ordinary In Sonagachi, India, Simanti Dasgupta

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

Drawing on ethnographic work with Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee (DMSC), a grassroots sex worker organisation in Sonagachi, the iconic red-light district in Kolkata, India, this paper explores the politics of the detritus generated by raids as a form of state violence. While the current literature mainly focuses on its institutional ramifications, this article explores the significance of the raid in its immediate relation to the brothel as a home and a space to collectivise for labour rights. Drawing on atyachar (oppression), the Bengali word sex workers use to depict the violence of raids, I argue that they experience the raid …

African-American Male Perceptions On Public Schooling After Discipline: A Contextual Portrait From The Inner City, Kevin William Smith Jr.

LMU Theses and Dissertations

Literature shows that one of the major issues affecting the achievement of inner-city African- American male students in public-schools is the ineffectiveness of disciplinary procedures. These studies have shown a direct positive relationship between student behavioral problems and academic failure. This study was an attempt at answering Noguera’s (2008) call for understanding more fully how African-American males come to perceive schooling, in particular their discipline experiences, and how environmental and cultural forces impact this perception of their behavior and performance in school. This was a qualitative study that heard the stories of inner-city African-American male students who were pushed out …

Silenced Voices: Remedying The Historical Suppression Of Felons And The Black Vote, Isabel Tayag

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

The disenfranchisement of felons in the United States evolved from a historical precedent brought to the Americas during colonization. Our country adopted the political philosophy that shaped criminal voting laws around the country—criminals are unable to govern themselves and therefore unable to govern a country; their participation in our government would be danger to the purity of the ballot box. With rising racial tensions after Reconstruction, preserving the purity of the ballot box became a preservation of the white vote. This paper argues that felon disenfranchisement became a tool to further suppress African American after poll taxes, literacy tests, and …

The Evolution Of The Criminal Justice System Through Dna Sequencing, Ashley Driscoll

Academic Festival

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA stores all of the genetic information that is unique to each individual. Scientists have long since discovered DNA, however without the proper technology it has been of little use in forensic analysis. In 1970 the first method of DNA sequencing had been developed which had great promise amongst many fields including biology, psychology, and even forensics. Specifically, with respect to the criminal justice system investigators now had the ability to accurately convict guilty criminals as well as to exonerate those who have been wrongfully convicted. Although DNA sequencing is very commonly used across many different disciplines, …

The Sociological, Religious, Psychological, And Media Influences On Corporal Punishment, Deanna Aliperti

This paper offers the sociological, religious, psychological, media perspectives on the use of corporal punishment and its effects. From the sociological perspective, it has been found that factors such as one’s gender, race and culture, socioeconomic status, and the region in which someone lives can affect the prevalence of the usage of corporal punishment. From the religion perspective, it has been found that conservative religious southerners and their belief in biblical literalism influences their increased usage of corporal punishment, however, they can only partake in this under certain guidelines.

Equitable Gateways: Toward Expanded Federal Habeas Corpus Review Of State Court Criminal Convictions, Eve Brensike Primus

Articles

State prisoners who file federal habeas corpus petitions face a maze of procedural and substantive restrictions that effectively prevent almost all prisoners from obtaining meaningful review of their convictions. But it is a mistake to think that habeas litigation is just a Kafkaesque nightmare with no constructive potential. Federal courts do sometimes cut through the doctrinal morass to consider state prisoners’ claims, relying on what this Articleterms "equitable gateways" to federal habeas relief. Litigants and courts generally underestimate the potential these gateways offer, with the result that habeas litigation does not focus on them as often as it should. Here …
