The Influence Of A Juvenile's Abuse History On Support For Sex Offender Registration, Cynthia J. Najdowski, M. C. Stevenson, J. M. Salerno, T. R. A. Wiley, B. L. Bottoms, K. M. Farnum
Psychology Faculty Scholarship
We investigated whether and how a juvenile’s history of experiencing sexual abuse affects public perceptions of juvenile sex offenders in a series of 5 studies. When asked about juvenile sex offenders in an abstract manner (Studies 1 and 2), the more participants (community members and undergraduates) believed that a history of being sexually abused as a child causes later sexually abusive behavior, the less likely they were to support sex offender registration for juveniles. Yet when participants considered specific sexual offenses, a juvenile’s history of sexual abuse was not considered to be a mitigating factor. This was true when participants …

A Historical Review And Resource Guide To The Scholarship Of Teaching And Training In Psychology And Law And Forensic Psychology, Cynthia J. Najdowski, Bette L. Bottoms, Margaret C. Stevenson, Jennifer C. Veilleux
Psychology Faculty Scholarship
The field of psychology and law, including forensic psychology, is an exciting concentration of research activity and student training and has grown rapidly, but to what extent have teaching and training efforts in the field been systematically catalogued and evaluated? We conducted a historical review and content analysis of the American and Canadian literature on the scholarship of teaching and training in the field. This review catalogs (a) information related to the development of training and teaching, (b) descriptions of programs and courses at various levels, and (c) articles on teaching resources or techniques in this field. We hope it …

A Postcolonial Theory Of Spousal Rape: The Carribean And Beyond, Stacy-Ann Elvy
A Postcolonial Theory Of Spousal Rape: The Carribean And Beyond, Stacy-Ann Elvy
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Many postcolonial states in the Caribbean continue to struggle to comply with their international treaty obligations to protect women from sexual violence. Reports from various United Nations programs, including UNICEF, and the annual U.S. State Department Country Reports on Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia (“Commonwealth Countries”), indicate that sexual violence against women, including spousal abuse, is a significant problem in the Caribbean. Despite ratification of various international instruments intended to eliminate sexual violence against women, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, Commonwealth Countries have retained the …

"The Classical School, Deterrence Theory, And Zero Tolerance" An Analysis Of A Mandatory Zero Tolerance Sanctioning Policy In Relation To The Classical School Of Criminology And Deterrence Theory, Adam Saeler
School of Criminal Justice Theses and Dissertations
Mandatory sentences, and especially those that promote severe detention lengths, have become a popular mechanism in the fight against crime, but are they effective? Certain Sanctions, an adult probation-based sanctioning mandate, is an example of one such mandatory policy that emphasizes harsh sanctions in order to promote reduced future criminality. The philosophy behind such a device fits well into the theoretical framework of deterrence theory in that quick, severe sanctions ought to reduce future criminality. However, little research exists regarding the effectiveness of such a mandatory probation-based sanction policy with regards to the reduction of future criminality. Furthermore, the impact …

Juvenile Sentencing Post-Miller: Preventive And Corrective Measures, Cara H. Drinan
Scholarly Articles
At the end of the twentieth century, the United States was an international outlier in the severity of its juvenile sentencing practices despite having invented the juvenile court model one century earlier. Today, juvenile sentencing reform is underway, particularly in the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions that have cabined the states’ capacity to impose extreme sentences on juveniles. In this Article, I propose two additional reform measures that would help to rationalize the sentences imposed on children in the American criminal justice system—one on the front end of the system and one on the back end. In particular, on …
The Role Of Non-Governmental Organizations In Advancing International Criminal Justice, Charles C. Jalloh
The Role Of Non-Governmental Organizations In Advancing International Criminal Justice, Charles C. Jalloh
Articles
This article examines the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in advancing international criminal justice. I argue that NGOs have had considerable impact by contributing, among other things, to the global struggle against impunity through advocacy for the creation of more robust institutional mechanisms to prosecute those who perpetrate such crimes. This ranges from supporting the processes that led to the creation of several ad hoc international tribunals for Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone, all the way through to their support for the establishment of an independent permanent international penal court based in The Hague. The crux of my claim is …

It's "Exhausting": Reconciling A Prisoner's Right To Meaningful Remedies For Constitutional Remedies For Constitutional Violations With The Need For Agency Autonomy, Allen E. Honick
University of Baltimore Law Review
This Comment will address the inadequacy and injustice of the PLRA, specifically the “proper exhaustion” rule as expressed in Woodford v. Ngo. “Proper exhaustion” means that “a prisoner must complete the administrative review process in accordance with applicable procedural rules, including deadlines, as a precondition to bringing suit in federal court.” Failure to adhere to even the slightest procedural requirement is sufficient to warrant procedural default, i.e., a dismissal regardless of the merits of the underlying claim. The PLRA seeks to achieve laudable ends, but the means by which it does so leave much to be desired.
Disrupting Education Federalism, Kimberly J. Robinson
Disrupting Education Federalism, Kimberly J. Robinson
Law Faculty Publications
The ongoing expansion of federal influence over education in the United States provides a particularly salient time to consider how education federalism should be structured to achieve the nation's education goals. One ofthe nation's unfulfilled and yet essential education goals is to ensure that all students receive equal access to an excellent education. A variety of scholars and, most recently, the federal Equity and Excellence Commission have offered proposals for advancing this goal. By building on this growing momentum for reform,I argue that disrupting the nation's longstanding approach to education federalism-which I define as the balance of power between federal, …

The Highs And Lows Of Wild Justice, Corinna Barrett Lain
Law Faculty Publications
In Part I of this Review, I present a brief summary of Mandery's book, providing readers a glimpse of the fascinating story A Wild Justice tells and the engaging prose with which it is written. In Part II, I do the same for Rosenbaum's book, distilling the argument in Paybackand excerpting illustrative passages to provide readers an idea of what they will be getting. In Part III, I use both books to explore the difference between retribution and revenge, and the role those notions play in the defense of the death penalty today. I conclude that while Rosenbaum is unpersuasive …
Intergrating Skills And Collaborating Across Law Schools: An Example From Immigration Law, Anna R. Welch
Intergrating Skills And Collaborating Across Law Schools: An Example From Immigration Law, Anna R. Welch
Faculty Publications
This Essay discusses the design and implementation of introductory Immigration Law courses taught at two different law schools, Western State College of Law in Orange County, California and the University of Maine Law School in Portland, Maine. Although the courses took place on opposite coasts and did not engage in a formal partnership that was visible to students, the authors deliberately planned the courses in close collaboration with one another behind the scenes. In doing so, the courses shared the explicit goal of increasing students’ exposure to practical lawyering skills while reinforcing students’ understanding of the substantive immigration laws. This …
Surveillance, Knowledge And Inequality: Understanding Power Through Foucault And Beyond., Simon Purdy
Surveillance, Knowledge And Inequality: Understanding Power Through Foucault And Beyond., Simon Purdy
The Hilltop Review
Understanding a concept as complex as power, in the social sciences, can often be a daunting task. In order to fully comprehend power, it is therefore necessary to examine it through the lens of other issues and theoretical devices. In this paper, power is approached through an examination of surveillance and associated technologies. Utilizing the theoretical work of Michel Foucault, and stepping beyond this basic groundwork, we explore the contentions surrounding the study of power within sociology, the ways in which surveillance constitutes and even threatens structures of power. The paper concludes with an analysis of inequality, welfare and the …
An Unfinished Journey: The Evolution Of Crime Measurement In The United States, Daniel J. Patten
An Unfinished Journey: The Evolution Of Crime Measurement In The United States, Daniel J. Patten
The Hilltop Review
This article traces the history of crime measurement in the United States beginning with the U.S. census in 1790 while exploring several key pieces of history that influenced how crime is measured today. After discussing the origins of the U.S. census and its contributions to measuring crime, the Chicago School of Sociology is observed for its monumental influence on early criminology in America. Next, the division of sociology and criminal justice into two distinct fields had major implications for measuring crime. How crime is measured is often attributed to the ideological differences between these academic fields. Then, the three primary …
Occupying The Constitutional Right To Housing, Lisa T. Alexander
Occupying The Constitutional Right To Housing, Lisa T. Alexander
Nebraska Law Review
The United States does not recognize a formal legal right to housing. Yet the right to housing is alive in America. Using qualitative interviews and case studies, this Article is the first to argue that recent American housing rights movements, such as the Occupy Movements, Take Back the Land movements, and Home Defenders’ League, give legal meaning to an American constitutional right to housing. These social movements represent the right to housing in American law when they occupy and retain vacant and real estate–owned homes, defend home owners and renters from illegal evictions and foreclosures, encourage municipalities to use eminent …

From Fugitives To Ferguson: Repairing Historical And Structural Defects In Legally Sanctioned Use Of Deadly Force, José F. Anderson
All Faculty Scholarship
The lawful use of lethal force to subdue suspected wrongdoers has a long tradition in our nation. There is certainly nothing wrong with securing, incapacitating, or even killing violent persons who pose a serious threat to the lives of innocent individuals. One of the important roles of government is to protect people from harm and keep the peace. Recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, have highlighted the tension between the officers on the beat and citizens on the street. These tensions are not likely to subside unless there are major structural changes in the way the police do their job and …
An International Analysis Of Corporate "Personhood:" Rights Vs. Responsibilities, Vanessa R. Bishop
An International Analysis Of Corporate "Personhood:" Rights Vs. Responsibilities, Vanessa R. Bishop
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
Corporate person hood is not a term known or used amongst the majority of the populace. Citizens are often unaware that corporations can commit physical harms that are frequently reported as "accidents" and not as the result of human decision-making. In this study, we will analyze two nations: The United States and the United Kingdom. We will assess these nations relative to the existence of corporate homicide and corporate manslaughter laws, and each nation's response to such laws. Moreover, this research analyzes the ethical implications of each nation in relation to its corporate laws by measuring the balance between corporate …

Writing Wayward Women: Why Blog The History Of Victorian England's Female Offenders?, Lucy Williams
SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)
This article considers the multiple uses of academic research blogs for crime historians with particular reference to graduate students and early career researchers. Research focussed blogs help to develop the ideas and narrative styles of writers, provide vital opportunities for 'virtual colleagueship', and offer researchers valuable opportunities for networking and engagement both inside and outside of universities. Whilst there are some concerns to be raised over protection of authors' work, and the current lack of recognition for the effort and benefits involved with running a research blog, the opportunities to connect with the rich landscape of digital resources in the …

SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)
The proliferation of digitised primary sources has created exciting possibilities for those of us teaching undergraduate modules on crime and punishment in nineteenth century England and Wales. In this article, we reflect on our experience of devising and running a 'special subject' at the University of Liverpool in which we encourage our students to see themselves as active, independent researchers - as producers, rather than passive consumers, of knowledge. Working on individual projects in a group of 15, students tackle the different stages of the research process side-by-side, discussing issues of research design, record-linkage and the interpretation and analysis of …

Blogging Our Criminal Past: Social Media, Public Engagement And Creative History, Helen Rogers
SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)
Rather than asking should historians use social media - a question frequently posed online and increasingly discussed in seminars and conferences - this article explores how historians currently use blogging and micro-blogging, and how these media are transforming the ways we think and write about history. Blogging, the article argues, has the potential to 'turn history upside down' by breaking down traditional hierarchies separating amateur and professional, young and old, theorist and practitioner, reader and writer. Where early blogger-historians tended to be associated with large-scale digital projects and concerned with digital humanities methodologies, the article detects the emergence of a …
Narrating 'Our Criminal Past' At Greater Manchester Police Museum And Archives In The Context Of The Uk Government Funded Tackling Knives Action Programme (Tkap) 2009-2011, Beth Wilburn
SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)
The Tackling Knives Action Programme (TKAP) ran in England and Wales from 2008-2011 and aimed to reduce serious violence involving youths through nationwide and local initiatives. At Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Museum and Archives, TKAP funded the temporary creation of an Education Officer, whose remit was to use heritage to reach out to young people in different communities in Greater Manchester, and continue to break down barriers between them and police officers at GMP. This was attempted through a schools outreach programme in partnership with police officers, and supported by teacher resource packs, and tours and workshops held in the …
