The Street Perspective: A Conversation With The Police, Patrick L. Baude Oct 1975

The Street Perspective: A Conversation With The Police, Patrick L. Baude

IUSTITIA

Professor Baude's purpose in this discussion is to elicit police officers' comments on what members of the legal profession ought to know about the influence of the "street perspective" in shaping those officers' attitudes towards the criminal justice system and the role they play in it. It is police insistence on the broad validity of insights which only "the street" can provide that accounts for the considerable gulf between "front-line" enforcement officers and other functionaries in (and students of) that system. Law students (and no doubt lawyers) seem uncomfortable with the notion that our system cannot adequately be understood without …

Book Review, James W. Ely, Jr. Oct 1975

Book Review, James W. Ely, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The hypothesis of continuity has now been ably tested and challenged by William E. Nelson's fine book, Americanization of the Common Law. Relying upon years of painstaking research in courthouse files throughout Massachusetts, Nelson utilizes unpublished opinions, court records, and attorneys' notes to fashion a striking interpretation of the significant changes that occurred in Massachusetts law following the Revolution. The author undertakes an analysis of the doctrines of substantive law and techniques of law-making and enforcement in order "to trace the emergence of modern American law... Nelson's stress upon nineteenth century majoritarianism and governmental coercion must be qualified by consideration …

Disquisition On The Need For A New Model For Criminal Sanctioning Systems, M. Kay Harris Feb 1975

Disquisition On The Need For A New Model For Criminal Sanctioning Systems, M. Kay Harris

West Virginia Law Review

The time is ripe for a major restructuring of our criminal sanctioning systems. Pressures for change are arising from many sources. As crime rates continue to rise and public fear of crime grows apace, thoughtful persons from many walks of life are more strongly articulating the need to find a different method of dealing with those convicted of violating the criminal law. The criminal prosecutions and dispositions arising from Watergate and related cases have brought many of the issues of unequal justice into the thoughts of American citizens. Proposals for criminal and penal code revision await action in legislatures throughout …

Standards For Accepting Guilty Pleas To Misdemeanor Charges, Richard A. Kopek Jan 1975

Standards For Accepting Guilty Pleas To Misdemeanor Charges, Richard A. Kopek

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The guilty plea-not the trial-is the most common manner of disposing of criminal cases in America. It has been estimated that 90 percent of all convictions and 95 percent of misdemeanor convictions are the result of guilty pleas. Various reasons have been advanced to explain this heavy reliance on the guilty plea. For example, it avoids the drain on judicial resources that would occur if all cases had to be tried. In addition, it eliminates the risks and uncertainties of trials and permits flexibility in sentencing. Because of the prevalence of guilty pleas, there must be procedural safeguards to insure …


Behavior Modification: Winners In The Game Of Life, Richard L. Aynes Jan 1975

Behavior Modification: Winners In The Game Of Life, Richard L. Aynes

Cleveland State Law Review

It is because the officials who administer the penal institutions are firmly committed to "behavior control" as a method of penological re-form that it is important to consider this "new approach" and all of its ramifications. It is to that end that this note will consider the extent and intensity of behavior control programs; the legal ramifications of such programs; and prospects for the future.
