Ohio's Sex Offender Residency Restriction Law: Does It Protect The Health And Safety Of The State's Children Or Falsely Make People Believe So, Margaret Troia
Ohio's Sex Offender Residency Restriction Law: Does It Protect The Health And Safety Of The State's Children Or Falsely Make People Believe So, Margaret Troia
Journal of Law and Health
The fact of the matter is that residency laws often force all registered sex offenders to pay the price for a few high-profile cases and the public's fear and beliefs regarding sex offenders is often misguided and not well-founded. Sex offender residency laws may actually increase recidivism rates while placing unjustified burdens on sex offenders and their family members. Furthermore, because these laws target stranger perpetrators, they do not prevent the majority of sex crimes committed by acquaintances or family members of the victim. This results in parents being lulled into a false sense of security that their children are …

Sexual Minorities, Criminal Justice, And The Death Penalty, Michael B. Shortnacy
Sexual Minorities, Criminal Justice, And The Death Penalty, Michael B. Shortnacy
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article addresses the biases confronting sexual minorities in the legal system. The author calls upon the legal community including bar associations, judicial councils and conferences, and law schools to recognize that bias against sexual minorities exists and they should devote sufficient resources to allow for comprehensive study of this problem and for the education of the bar and the public. Furthermore, the Article points out that this bias against sexual minorities among key players in the legal system may actually be a factor in the imposition of the death penalty. The author points out the inattention this bias against …
Policing The Police: The Role Of The Courts And The Prosecution, Steven Zeidman
Policing The Police: The Role Of The Courts And The Prosecution, Steven Zeidman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article focuses on how, and whether, the component parts of the courts - judges, court administrators, and prosecutors - promote justice by actively and critically monitoring or overseeing the police. The author focuses on one of the most common forms of police corruption facing the criminal justice system - what has been termed "falsifications" which includes testimonial perjury, documentary perjury and falsification of police records. The author reflects on what judges and prosecutors have done to combat this form of police corruption and offers ways in which the actors within the criminal justice system can be more effective.

The Civilization Of The Criminal Law, Christopher Slobogin
The Civilization Of The Criminal Law, Christopher Slobogin
Vanderbilt Law Review
The boundaries of the criminal justice system are eroding. A vast amount of relatively innocuous behavior is now criminalized. The line between criminal penalties and administrative sanctions is dissolving, as criminal law relaxes its mens rea requirements and government bureaucracies aggressively pursue regulatory violations. Distinctions between criminal and civil forfeiture, contempt, and deportation proceedings have been vanishingly subtle for some time. Perhaps the most serious assault on the integrity of today's criminal justice system, however, is the increasing prominence of the "dangerousness criterion" as justification for confinement by the government. Governmental deprivations of liberty have usually been the province of …
The Role Of Prosecutors In Serving Justice After Convictions, Fred C. Zacharias
The Role Of Prosecutors In Serving Justice After Convictions, Fred C. Zacharias
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is an old saw that prosecutors have both an ethical and a legal obligation to "do justice." The contours of that obligation, however, are not well defined. This Article addresses one particularly neglected aspect of the obligation: prosecutors' ethical duty to serve justice after convictions are complete. Prosecutorial justice issues seem to arise less frequently after conviction than at trial. Prosecutorial discretion is at its height in the postconviction context because legislators and professional code drafters have not focused on postconviction issues. Freed from binding legal constraints, prosecutors have avoided deep consideration of how their general obligation to serve …
