Afghanistan: An Analysis Of U.S. Foreign Policy’S Effect On Afghan Terrorism Rates, Katelyn E. Tinsley Foust
Afghanistan: An Analysis Of U.S. Foreign Policy’S Effect On Afghan Terrorism Rates, Katelyn E. Tinsley Foust
Honors Theses
While the term ‘terrorism’ was first coined and widely used in the late 1700s regarding the French Reign of Terror, its popularity has grown dramatically around the globe in the last few decades. Advancements in things like technology and news reporting have made these attacks more popular and have given terrorists an easier outlet to be recognized around the world. One such area we hear about often is the Middle East and the Levant. Countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Israel, and more, are routinely discussed in our news cycles here in the United States, especially since the terrorist attacks on …

Enhancing Strategies For Government Partnerships To Meet Organizational Goals And Objectives, Nuela Uche Umeh
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Organization X’s mission to strengthen legal rights and rehabilitate inmates involves effective collaboration with government entities. Organization X struggled to build strong partnerships with government agencies, limiting its ability to provide legal aid and rehabilitation services to marginalized inmates and victims of human rights violations. The purpose of this study was to use a SWOT analysis to explore the challenges and opportunities in government partnerships, aiming to identify barriers and recommend strategies to strengthen collaboration, build staff capacity, and enhance service delivery. Guided by four research questions, the study examined barriers and opportunities in government partnerships. Data were collected through …

An Analysis Of The Armorettes’ Mission To Help The Atlanta Lgbtq+ Community, Edwin Hernandez
An Analysis Of The Armorettes’ Mission To Help The Atlanta Lgbtq+ Community, Edwin Hernandez
Master's Theses
The Armorettes are a self-proclaimed camp drag troupe that have been performing in the Atlanta drag scene since 1979. First formed as a cheer group for a softball team associated with The Armory, a well known gay bar at the time, they quickly added drag performance and charity work to their name. The group came to be as the HIV/AIDS epidemic began affecting Atlanta. Atlanta was hit hard by the disease. Several comorbid factors contributed to the disproportionate numbers seen in the city beginning in the 1980s. They quickly took on the mission of raising money for charities and organizations …
Extending The Smith V. Hooey Duty To The Holding Jurisdiction, Ronald D. Russell
Extending The Smith V. Hooey Duty To The Holding Jurisdiction, Ronald D. Russell
Maine Law Review
The right to a speedy trial has been an integral part of the Anglo-American legal system since its foundation. The first statement of this guarantee seems to be in the codification of basic rights included in the Magna Charta. It was incorporated into the earliest laws of colonial America and later expressed in the sixth amendment to the Constitution. In Klopfer v. North Carolina, the United States Supreme Court stated, "The history of the right to a speedy trial and its reception in this country clearly establish that it is one of the most basic rights preserved by our Constitution." …
Bernier V. State - The Right To Counsel In Entrustment Revocation Proceedings, Peter J. Detroy
Bernier V. State - The Right To Counsel In Entrustment Revocation Proceedings, Peter J. Detroy
Maine Law Review
Theodore Bernier was adjudicated a juvenile offender in September, 1966, and was subsequently committed to the Boys Training Center (BTC) for the term of his minority. In February, 1968, he was released on entrustment to his parents. Almost a year and a half later, Bernier was questioned by local police regarding his possible involvement in the theft of greenstamps from a local store. Although he was released without the police taking further action, they notified an aftercare and placement worker assigned to the BTC of the questioning. As a result, the BTC revoked the entrustment, and the police took him …
Search And Seizure, Daniel G. Lilley
Search And Seizure, Daniel G. Lilley
Maine Law Review
Search and Seizure, authored by Colorado Judge Edward C. Fisher, is a book of better than 300 pages which purports to be a recent survey of the law dedicated to "peace officers of America." The foreword states that it is written for law enforcement officers and is a ready reference for attorneys, judges, and others concerned with the administration of criminal justice. The book is clearly written. It tells police officers how to conduct searches and seizures and it tells them why restrictions are imposed. Where there is still conflict and doubt, it gives the officer some "safe" approaches to …

Stewart V. Smith: A Misapplication Of North Carolina V. Pearce, Alton C. Stevens
Stewart V. Smith: A Misapplication Of North Carolina V. Pearce, Alton C. Stevens
Maine Law Review
Gordon Stewart was convicted of a felony and sentenced to fifteen to nineteen months in the house of correction and a $2,000 fine, or an additional 2,000 days in lieu thereof. Since he was indigent this represented a total sentence of approximately seven years. Upon petition to the Windsor County Court this original sentence was set aside as being in excess of the twenty-four month statutory maximum. Resentencing was ordered and a different judge sentenced respondent anew to a term of twenty-three to twenty-four months in the state prison with appropriate credit given for time already served. On appeal to …
Retroactivity Rethought: The Hidden Costs, Pierce B. Hasler
Retroactivity Rethought: The Hidden Costs, Pierce B. Hasler
Maine Law Review
The validity of Justice Harlan's contention that retroactivity must be rethought is becoming increasingly evident, and it seems likely that extensive reevaluation of the doctrine will soon be necessary. The past six years have been marked by well over a dozen Supreme Court decisions addressed to the question of the retroactive or prospective effect to be given prior constitutional rulings in the area of criminal procedure. Rarely has an important constitutional doctrine achieved such full-blown proportions so quickly, yet several members of the Court would now vote to reject it and start anew. Linkletter v. Walkers was the landmark decision …
Argersinger And The Right To Counsel In The Military, Maine Law Review
Argersinger And The Right To Counsel In The Military, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
The dramatic advances made since 1965 in recognizing the right to counsel for accused indigents have steadily, albeit unevenly, extended to military courts-martial. Despite this progress, many questions remain unresolved regarding right to counsel both generally and in the military. While the right to counsel is solidified in general courts-martial, it remains precarious in special and summary courts-martial, for the right to lawyer counsel is defeasible where a military exigency is shown in the former and lawyer counsel is not yet required service-wide in the latter. The military exigency exception to full sixth amendment rights to easily degenerates into a …
Defense Of Indigents In Maine: The Need For Public Defenders, Peter Avery Anderson
Defense Of Indigents In Maine: The Need For Public Defenders, Peter Avery Anderson
Maine Law Review
During the past ten years the United States Supreme Court has engineered a major reworking of criminal procedure through judicial review. In no area of criminal procedure has the overhaul been so drastic as in the right to court appointed counsel. From a time when court appointment of counsel was virtually nonexistent, the right has been expanded to the extent that counsel is now available in nearly all cases and stages of the proceedings. This rapid growth of the right to counsel has placed an understandable strain on state and federal judicial systems. Various means of coping with the demands …
Nigeria's Retirement Pension System And Elderly Poverty, Tonyesima Furro
Nigeria's Retirement Pension System And Elderly Poverty, Tonyesima Furro
Journal of African Policy Studies
This study examines the nature of Nigeria's contributory retirement pension system. It shows that the government took monthly payroll deductions from the incomes of retirees and deposited in said retirement funds. Prior to retirement, retirees would receive a severance package of a lump-sum payment of a few months to a few years' earnings. They were assured that their regularly scheduled monthly disbursement would be remitted to their designated bank accounts. But due to the cumbersome bureaucratic procedures, many pension claimants were unsuccessful in receiving their benefits before death. The study reveals that the nation's pension administration system is characterized by …

Compensating Victims Of Crime: Individual Responsibility And Governmental Compensation Plans, Maine Law Review
Compensating Victims Of Crime: Individual Responsibility And Governmental Compensation Plans, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
During the last decade, legal scholars, criminologists, and sociologists have extensively discussed proposals for the compensation of injured victims of crime. The scholarly debate will, in all likelihood, soon come to fruition in the form of comprehensive federal legislation designed to provide an orderly and uniform governmental remedy for persons suffering losses as a result of criminally inflicted personal injury. The years following the widespread adoption of compensation programs will be crucial in the development of an effective and therapeutic system of criminal justice. As criminal sanctions are directed more toward reformation than punishment, and as compensation to victims is …
Reproductive And Sexual Autonomy In Hillary Jordan’S When She Woke, U. H. Ruhina Jesmin
Reproductive And Sexual Autonomy In Hillary Jordan’S When She Woke, U. H. Ruhina Jesmin
Journal of International Women's Studies
This paper uses the content analysis method and theory of reproductive politics to explore how state-sponsored reproductive policy criminalizes reproductive rights and erodes sexual autonomy in Hillary Jordan’s 2011 dystopian novel When She Woke. The novel depicts a future world in which abortion is criminalized and a genetic technology called “melachroming” is used by the federal government to violate the human rights of the main character, Hannah Payne. The fundamentalist interpretations of religion, coupled with political agenda and public policy, equate abortion with genocide, thus criminalizing the act and punishing women with a genetic alternation of skin color. These …
Controlling Women’S Sexuality: The Rise Of Emotional Abuse Among Indian Husbands, Puranjay K. Vedi
Controlling Women’S Sexuality: The Rise Of Emotional Abuse Among Indian Husbands, Puranjay K. Vedi
Journal of International Women's Studies
In ancient Hindu literature, marriage is regarded as the most sacred institution while adultery—known as vyabhichāra (व्यभिचार) in Hindi—is considered one of the gravest sins. Ancient practices still have impact in 21st-century India, where internal household sanctions meant to ensure Indian wives’ chastity continue to be seen as sacred. This study describes six different types of Husband’s Controlling Behavior (HCB) that are used to preserve wives’ chastity. HCB can either take the form of emotional violence (accusing/suspecting a wife of being unfaithful) or physical violence (hitting or beating a wife out of a suspicion she is being unfaithful). This study …
The Reality Of Restorative: The Impact On Discipline Disparities In A Large Urban School District, Eboni Williams, Karen H. Larwin Phd
The Reality Of Restorative: The Impact On Discipline Disparities In A Large Urban School District, Eboni Williams, Karen H. Larwin Phd
Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership
Disparities in exclusionary discipline rates persist for African American students, who often receive harsher punishments than their White peers, especially for subjective offenses. Implicit bias contributes to perceptions of African American children as older, less innocent, and more deserving of severe discipline (Gilliam et al., 2016; Lewis & Diamond, 2015; Welsh & Little, 2018). Excessive discipline correlates with negative long-term outcomes, including higher dropout rates and incarceration (Skiba et al., 2014). This study evaluates the impact of restorative justice in reducing these disparities in a large urban district. While general linear modeling indicated significant suspension rate changes for grades 9-12 …
Navigating High Seas Jurisdictional Challenges: Recommendations For Addressing Legal Authority Of Incidents On Cruise Vessels, Yichi Zhang
Pepperdine Policy Review
This paper examines the current investigation and jurisdiction challenges of cruise crimes on the high seas. The jurisdiction is split into four conditions, including flag state, victim state, suspect state, and coastal state. These conditions face systematic complications and a lack of conductive efficiency that increases the rate of criminals fleeing, bringing challenges from the jurisdiction, social insecurity, and international relations perspectives. This research assesses the current criminal cruise risks on international waters and the upward trend of perpetration reports, including missing individuals, sexual assaults, and murder cases. This article also introduces three alternative policies: sharing incident information and offering …

Misplaced Fear? Assessing The Impact Of Demographics And Media Consumption On American’S Fear Of Violent Crime, Uche Nwadiashi
Misplaced Fear? Assessing The Impact Of Demographics And Media Consumption On American’S Fear Of Violent Crime, Uche Nwadiashi
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
In a nation with ideals grounded in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, having a large portion of the population disproportionately living in fear would challenge such ideologies. I will be examining how race, gender, and media consumption are critical factors that play into an individual's level of fear regarding violent crimes. Relying on The Chapman Survey of American Fears, a comprehensive data source that surveys and catalogs the fears of American adults, I analyzed how these varying factors interact with one another. Through careful analysis, I found that despite women's, particularly women of color, elevated fear of violent …
Of Corruption And Anti-Corruption Strategies In Nigeria: The More You Look The Less You See, Sylvester Olubani Fajonyomi
Of Corruption And Anti-Corruption Strategies In Nigeria: The More You Look The Less You See, Sylvester Olubani Fajonyomi
Journal of African Policy Studies
This statement from the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria reflects the outcome of the regime's efforts at fighting corruption in its first four years (1999-2003) in office: "Some members of the Nigerian public have expressed their opinion to the effect (that) our anti-corruption crusade in the last four years has been deficient in credibility because it appeared to lack the support of the Federal Executive Council who only rarely expressed their support in public. The situation has to change with the new cabinet. Each and every one of you must do more than give a nodding support for …
Building Layered Defenses To Reduce Illegal Gun Violence, Samuel Kan
Building Layered Defenses To Reduce Illegal Gun Violence, Samuel Kan
Arkansas Law Review
The government and stakeholders in society must act within their span of control to eradicate excessive and illegal gun violence. It is not surprising that a majority of Americans “say gun violence is a very big problem in the country[,] . . . they expect the level of gun violence to increase[, and] . . . it is too easy to legally obtain a gun” in the United States. This Article tackles this politically charged issue and recommends specific strategies for the government and stakeholders in society to reduce unlawful firearm violence and its harmful effects. At the heart of …
Lawyers, Trauma, And Professional Well-Being: How The Legal Community Takes Back Its Mental Health, Brenda D. Gibson
Lawyers, Trauma, And Professional Well-Being: How The Legal Community Takes Back Its Mental Health, Brenda D. Gibson
Arkansas Law Review
Accompanying a notable shift in the legal academy to being more attentive to our students’ mental health, there must be an equal (or even greater) shift to focusing on trauma, mental health, and well-being in the broader profession. Significantly, trauma and its effects are compounded when combined with the challenges faced by underrepresented populations within the profession. To date, these challenges have been greeted by an ad hoc, piecemeal reaction to stress and trauma,10 which only inhibits wellness in the profession. Part I explores the current literature in both the humanities and the legal profession, beginning with a brief discussion …

The New And Improved Vawa: A Look Into State Law And Local Nuisance Ordinances After The 2022 Reauthorization, Alexis Stevens, J.D.
Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive
The Violence Against Women Act has protected victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and sexual harassment for over 30 years now. The Act has been reauthorized four times, providing stronger protection for victims each time. The most recent reauthorization in 2022 includes protection for domestic violence victims against chronic nuisance ordinances. These ordinances allow municipalities to punish landlords and tenants if a tenant calls the police too many times to the property, including times in which a domestic violence victim, seeking help, calls the police on their perpetrator. Many states have enacted statutes that align with the 2022 Reauthorization …

Federal Habeas Corpus: Actual Innocence Or Actual Indifference, Meganne Lee-Rogers, J.D.
Federal Habeas Corpus: Actual Innocence Or Actual Indifference, Meganne Lee-Rogers, J.D.
Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive
It is a fact that innocent people have been convicted of crimes they have not committed and sentenced to imprisonment or death. Habeas corpus is a long standing, fundamental right to challenge improper detention. While one intended use of habeas corpus was to seek release from custody due to innocence, federal law has made the process to obtain such relief nearly impossible.This Note explores the history of habeas corpus and its transformation of what it looks like in America today through the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA). A specific focus is placed on the pitfalls created by the …

Who Does It Best? A Fifty-State Comparison Of The Laws Surrounding Methamphetamine, Trinity Bledsoe Bryant, J.D.
Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive
Methamphetamine abuse remains a significant public health and criminal justice issue across the United States. Despite its widespread impact, states have taken varied legislative approaches to combat possession, distribution, and use. This Note provides a comprehensive fifty-state comparison of methamphetamine-related laws, examining key legal provisions, penalties, and alternative rehabilitative procedures. By analyzing trends in legislation, the Note highlights which states enforce the most stringent or lenient policies and evaluates their effectiveness in reducing the use of methamphetamine within the state. The findings aim to inform policymakers and legal professionals on best practices for combating methamphetamine abuse while balancing public health …
Pretrial Decision-Making In Brazil Under Inter-American Human Rights Law, Thiago Nascimento Dos Reis
Pretrial Decision-Making In Brazil Under Inter-American Human Rights Law, Thiago Nascimento Dos Reis
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
In recent decades, pretrial detention has been a key contributor to Brazil’s mass incarceration. This is true, despite domestic and international norms limiting pretrial detention to exceptional circumstances and mounting evidence linking it to worse outcomes for arrestees in their criminal proceedings and post-release life prospects. As a longitudinal multivariate pretrial research in Brazil, this Article investigates the key mechanisms and factors that explain pretrial detention in relation to inter-American human rights standards. This Article conducts a quantitative case study of the first one hundred days of detention for all 2,158 non-confidential flagrant arrests in the first eight months of …
