Violence Prevention: A Vision Of Hope: Final Report, Policy Council On Violence Prevention

California Agencies

In May of 1994, California Attorney General Daniel E. Lungren appointed a Policy Council on Violence Prevention and charged the Council with "studying violence in California and recommending policies and strategies for reversing the pervasive culture of violence in our society." The Council was a diverse, multidisciplinary group representing criminal justice, health, education, business, family violence, parents, youth-serving organizations, media, research, religious and community-action groups, and state agencies.

Waiver Of The Right To Appeal, Robert K. Calhoun

Publications

Section II explores the due process challenge to appeal waivers, and concludes that such a challenge would be difficult to sustain given the current state of due process law. It, nonetheless, goes on to suggest that a key premise of due process theory as it relates to plea bargaining- the presumed equality of bargaining power between the prosecution and the defense-may be ripe for challenge. Section ill discusses the public policy arguments for and against appeal waivers, and …
