Decriminalizing Prostitution: Liberalization Or Dehumanization?, Jeanne Schroeder Jan 1993

Decriminalizing Prostitution: Liberalization Or Dehumanization?, Jeanne Schroeder

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article explores the contentious debate over the decriminalization of prostitution, examining whether it represents liberalization or dehumanization. It highlights the complexities of the issue, emphasizing that decriminalization is not a straightforward solution but rather a deeply contested and multifaceted question. The discussion underscores the need to consider the ethical, legal, and societal implications of prostitution, particularly its impact on women, who are disproportionately affected by both the practice and its criminalization.

A Date With Justice: Prostitution And The Decriminalization Debate, Margaret A. Baldwin Jan 1993

A Date With Justice: Prostitution And The Decriminalization Debate, Margaret A. Baldwin

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the decriminalization of prostitution, arguing that it fails to address the systemic exploitation and violence faced by women in prostitution. The author contends that decriminalization would empower pimps, johns, and legal systems to further exploit women, as it legitimizes their power dynamics. The analysis emphasizes the need to prioritize the survival and empowerment of prostituted women over legal reforms that benefit their exploiters.

This Note explains the major EC institutions and the steps they have taken with respect to freedom of movement. This Note also describes the Schengen Convention, an agreement between , eight EC states that provides a blueprint for dismantling internal borders and strengthening external ones. The author discusses how member states' desire to …

The Eichmann Trial, The Jewish Question, And The American-Jewish Intelligentsia, Pnina Lahav May 1992

The Eichmann Trial, The Jewish Question, And The American-Jewish Intelligentsia, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

The abduction, trial, and execution of Adolf Karl Eichmann by the state of Israel, fifteen years after the shutdown of the crematoria at Auschwitz, challenged the American Jewish intelligentsia to confront the Jewish question.4 What does it mean to be a Jew in America and who is an American Jew? Is the Jewish history of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust also a part of American-Jewish history? Is there a lesson in the destruction of European Jewry-the triumph of anti-Semitism, the failure of assimilation-relevant to American Jews? Is there a national component to being Jewish? Are Jews a people? If so, is …

So What's In A Name? A Rhetorical Reading Of Washington's Sexually Violent Predators Act, J. Christopher Rideout Jan 1992

So What's In A Name? A Rhetorical Reading Of Washington's Sexually Violent Predators Act, J. Christopher Rideout

Seattle University Law Review

In this Article, I will examine this socially constitutive function of narratives in the enactment of Washington State's Sexually Violent Predators Act.'0 This Act is a prime recent example of how social narratives-in this case, narratives of violence, pain, and outrage-lie behind the official language of the law. As Winter would point out, narrative was the vehicle that prompted legal change. The question for this Article, however, is what happens once the story has been recast into another form, here that of a statute? How well do the immediacy of the details and the authorial voice of the story lend …

Hiv-Aids And Governmental Control Of Information: International Denial Of Human Rights, Michael L. Closent, Scott H. Isaacman Jan 1992

Hiv-Aids And Governmental Control Of Information: International Denial Of Human Rights, Michael L. Closent, Scott H. Isaacman

St. Thomas Law Review

This article will identify two significant failures in the efforts to effectively combat the HIV-AIDS pandemic. Both problems deal with the collection and dissemination of HIV-AIDS information. The first topic of concern is what we call the AIDS "name game." The definition of AIDS varies from country to country and changes from time to time within a single country, with substantial negative consequences. In addition, too much attention is focused upon AIDS rather than upon HIVAIDS (or HIV infection). Secondly, the underreporting of HIV-AIDS is a serious problem resulting in the denial of important human rights to hundreds of thousands …

Limits On The State's Power To Confine "Dangerous" Persons: Constitutional Implications Of Foucha V. Louisiana, James W. Ellis Jan 1992

Limits On The State's Power To Confine "Dangerous" Persons: Constitutional Implications Of Foucha V. Louisiana, James W. Ellis

Seattle University Law Review

This Article does not attempt a complete analysis of all the constitutional implications of Foucha,nor does it attempt to provide a definitive answer to the question of the constitutionality of Washington's sexual predator statute. Rather, because Foucha addressed important due process and equal protection questions relevant to the Washington statute, the Article is an attempt to analyze the case's basic constitutional holdings and discussion on the issue of state deprivation of physical liberty.


The Politics Of Sexual Psychopathy: Washington State's Sexual Predator Legislation, Stuart Scheingold, Toska Olson, Jana Pershing Jan 1992

The Politics Of Sexual Psychopathy: Washington State's Sexual Predator Legislation, Stuart Scheingold, Toska Olson, Jana Pershing

Seattle University Law Review

What are the principles that guide this return to indeterminacy? Taken at face value, rehabilitation would seem to be the goal of the civil commitment provisions that make avail- able a treatment program to cure and reintegrate sexual offenders. Of course, rehabilitation was unequivocally rejected by determinate sentencing reformers, who considered it both discriminatory and ineffective.6 An alternative interpretation is that the sexual predator provisions lead in an incapacitative direction-that is, they are designed to predict which offenders are so dangerous that they must be more or less permanently institutionalized to protect the society. Either way, the sexual predator legislation …
