The Lives Of Young Adults Who Have Graduated From Residential Children's Mental Health Programs (Summary Report), Gary Cameron, Karen Frensch

Partnerships for Children and Families Project

What happens to children and youth after they leave residential mental health treatment? How do these youth navigate normative developmental transitions like finishing school, getting a job, and finding a place to live? What types of assistance might facilitate these transitions? Despite the critical importance of these questions for youth themselves, for the educational, justice, and mental health systems, and for the development of more appropriate transitions to community programming, surprisingly little is known about what happens to these children and youth over time.

This report presents the results of a research process in which 59 young adults who had …

Graduation begins today on the campus of East Tennessee State University. In fact it begins every day at this institution. Each time a student enters a classroom, each time a faculty member holds a study session, each time a staff member meets with a student to discuss financial aid options, each time the lights are turned on in a research lab, each time a student completes an internship or an hour of community service, or boards a plane for a study abroad trip, we move one step closer to realizing the dream of a college degree for our more than …

The Criminalization Of Revenge Porn In Japan, Shigenori Matsui

Washington International Law Journal

Revenge porn is the practice of posting and distributing sexually explicit images of an ex-partner on the Internet to seek revenge after a breakup. Because it brings serious damages to the victims, it has become a significant social issue in Japan, the United States, and around the world. An increasing number of U.S. states and other countries are now enacting statutes criminalizing revenge porn. Recently, Japan joined these jurisdictions in criminalizing revenge porn when the Diet, the Japanese national legislature, passed the Revenge Porn Victimization Prevention Act. This article compares the Act with legislation in the United States and critically …

The Incitement Of Terrorism On The Internet: Legal Standards, Enforcement, And The Role Of The European Union, Ezekiel Rediker

Michigan Journal of International Law

Consider this sentence: “The Shining Path is a heroic organization.” Over the past thirty years, the Shining Path has waged a violent guerilla war against the Peruvian government, prompting the European Union to designate the group as a terrorist organization. In certain European countries, speech inciting or glorifying terrorist organizations is criminalized. As a result, citizens risk prosecution if they do not carefully limit what they say about the Shining Path, or other terrorist organizations. But where does free speech end and incitement to terrorism begin? The debate over free speech and incitement to terrorism is actively being played out …

Patching Old Wineskins: Heightened Deference Towards Saiban-In Findings Of Fact On Koso Appeals Is Not Enough, Caleb Jon F. Vandenbos

Washington International Law Journal

The successful introduction of the saiban-in seido—the Japanese lay assessor system—was a tremendous step towards creating meaningful exchange between the public and the judiciary and democratizing the criminal justice system in Japan. To preserve the quality of this exchange, judges must conscientiously solicit and respect lay assessor input during deliberations, and saiban-in decisions must retain their force on appeal. Under current appellate procedure, however, saiban-in findings of fact may be replaced on koso appeal. Koso appeals threaten to eviscerate lay participants’ contributions in the individual case being reviewed and, in the long term, will discourage judges from taking lay …

Why We Should Spare Walter White: Breaking Bad And The True Power Of Mitigation, Bidish J. Sarma

New Mexico Law Review

This Essay explores the answer to the question of why we would spare Walter White from the death penalty. Its exploration underscores the critical importance of “mitigation”—a capacious term that refers to evidence introduced by capital defense lawyers to persuade jurors to hand down something less harsh than a death sentence.

The Good And (Breaking) Bad Of Deceptive Police Practices, Elizabeth N. Jones

New Mexico Law Review

This Article questions whether a nexus exists between Breaking Bad, the popular series that regularly depicts strategic police deception, and the systemic abuse of force infecting the actual police department featured on that show. First, it focuses on investigative “strategic police deception” depicted in Breaking Bad as a potential gateway to the unreasonable use of force. The recent transgressions perpetrated by the APD evidence this concern. The show demonstrates the multi-faceted complexities of such police practices—from questionable discretionary decisions and psychological coercion, to deliberate deception and outright lies. Much of the policing depicted on Breaking Bad passes technical legal muster, …

Stuck Between A Rock And A Meth Cooking Husband: What Breaking Bad's Skyler White Reaches About How The War On Drugs And Public Antipathy Constrain Women In Circumstance's Choices, Holly Jeanine Boux, Courtenay W. Daum

New Mexico Law Review

Part I begins with an analysis of how the criminal justice system functions as a patriarchal tool of the state to control and constrain the behavior of women of circumstance. In the War on Drugs, patriarchy within the criminal justice system leads women to distrust law enforcement and the courts, and forecloses their access to assistance from a system that uses them as pawns in its pursuit of male drug operatives who are often these women’s intimate partners. Part II examines how these legal constraints upon women of circumstance intersect with women’s gendered roles in their families to eliminate viable …

The Political Geography Of Plea Bargaining In Federal Death Penalty Cases, Greg Goelzhauser

New Mexico Law Review

This Article employs the Breaking Bad counterfactual to motivate a preliminary empirical analysis of plea bargaining outcomes in federal capital cases. Given the Justice Department’s express commitment to applying the federal death penalty uniformly across states, New Mexico’s lack of a death penalty should be immaterial in determining whether Walt and other characters would have faced the federal death penalty. Nonetheless, scholars have demonstrated that there is considerable geographic variation in the federal death penalty’s administration. Moreover, scholars have devoted considerable attention to illuminating the “[s]ignificant federalism and state sovereignty issues lurk[ing] beneath the surface of a nationally uniform federal …

Challenges In Implementing Restorative Justice Practices In The United States, Erin Roaza

Capstone Collection

The purpose of this study was to research the challenges that restorative justice practices come across in their institutional and implementation phases within the United States. The modern concept or philosophy of Restorative Justice has been around for about four decades since the 1970s or 80s. There have been multiple studies made to prove that restorative justice practices might reduce recidivism incarceration costs, while also creating a more fulfilling experience for all parties involved, including minimizing feelings of revenge from the victim. So why has the United States criminal justice system not made more advancements to incorporate more restorative justice …

Missouri Abolishes The Corroboration Rule And The Destructive Contradictions Doctrine: A Victory For Victims Of Sexual Assault?, Kristen L. Stallion

Missouri Law Review

Part II of this Note explores the issue in the case at hand, State v. Porter, which has finally abolished both the corroboration rule and destructive contradictions doctrine in Missouri sexual assault cases. Next, Part III presents the archaic rationale behind the two doctrines and explores its development. Finally, in Part IV, the Supreme Court of Missouri’s decision to abolish these doctrines is dissected and the evolution of these evidentiary common law rules is analyzed in light of courts’ efforts to remove the high wall of doubt female victims must attempt to overcome. This analysis reveals that much still needs …

An Appeal To Common Sense: Why "Unappealable" District Court Decisions Should Be Subject To Appellate Review, Matthew D. Heins

Northwestern University Law Review

28 U.S.C. § 1291 vests jurisdiction in the United States Circuit Courts of Appeal to hear “appeals from all final decisions of the district courts of the United States.” Various circuit courts have, however, determined that they may only hear appeals of final “judicial” decisions, and that they do not have jurisdiction to hear appeals from final decisions of United States district courts if those decisions are “administrative.” Circuit courts have been loath to explicitly define the dividing line between the two classes of case, and have frequently invoked the potential availability of mandamus review as a means of placating …
