Do We Know How To Punish?, Benjamin L. Apt
Do We Know How To Punish?, Benjamin L. Apt
Benjamin L. Apt
A number of current theories attempt to explain the purpose and need for criminal punishment. All of them depend on some sort of normative basis in justifying why the state may penalize people found guilty of crimes. Yet each of these theories lacks an epistemological foundation; none of them explains how we can know what form punishments should take. The article analyses the epistemological gaps in the predominant theories of punishment: retributivism, including limited-retributivism; and consequentialism in its various versions, ranging from deterrence to the reparative theories such as restorative justice and rehabilitation. It demonstrates that the common putative epistemological …
Federal Programs And The Real Costs Of Policing, Rachel A. Harmon
Federal Programs And The Real Costs Of Policing, Rachel A. Harmon
Rachel A. Harmon
Dozens of federal statutes authorize federal agencies to give money and power to local police departments and municipalities in order to improve public safety. While these federal programs encourage better coordination of police efforts and make pursuing public safety less financially costly for local communities, they also encourage harmful policing. Of course, policing often interferes with our interests in autonomy, privacy, and property, and those harms are often worthwhile in exchange for security and order. Federal public safety programs, however, are designed, implemented, and evaluated without reference to the nonbudgetary costs of policing. When those costs are high, federal programs …

Stop Blaming The Prosecutors: The Real Causes Of Wrongful Convictions And Rightful Exonerations, And What Should Be Done To Fix Them, Adam Lamparello, Charles E. Maclean, James J. Berles
Stop Blaming The Prosecutors: The Real Causes Of Wrongful Convictions And Rightful Exonerations, And What Should Be Done To Fix Them, Adam Lamparello, Charles E. Maclean, James J. Berles
Adam Lamparello
Wrongfully convicted and rightfully exonerated criminal defendants spent, on average, ten years in prison before exoneration, and the ramifications to the defendants, the criminal justice system, and society are immeasurable.Prosecutorial misconduct, however, is not the primary cause of wrongful convictions. To begin with, although more than twenty million new adult criminal cases are opened in state and federal courts each year throughout the United States, there have been only 1,281 total exonerations over the last twenty-five years. In only six percent of those cases was prosecutorial misconduct the predominant factor resulting in those wrongful convictions. Of course, although prosecutorial misconduct …
Discouraging Police Use Of Choke-Holds In California, Catherine L. Rucker
Discouraging Police Use Of Choke-Holds In California, Catherine L. Rucker
Catherine L Rucker
This resolution would discourage police use of choke-holds by eliminating the training and testing modules for choke holds from the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) curriculum. Video of the fatal choke-hold: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2014/dec/04/i-cant-breathe-eric-garner-chokehold-death-video. See 1:20 min to 1:40 min. In April, 2015, the CCBA posted this resolution as series 8, number 10 at: http://calconference.org/html/wp-content/Resolutions/2015/Series%2008%20-%20Criminal%20II.pdf For more information about the Conference of California Bar Associations, visit www.calconference.org
Jones, Lackey, And Teague, Richard Broughton
Jones, Lackey, And Teague, Richard Broughton
Richard Broughton
In a recent, high-profile ruling, a federal court finally recognized that a substantial delay in executing a death row inmate violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishments. Courts have repeatedly rejected these so-called “Lackey claims,” making the federal court’s decision in Jones v. Chappell all the more important. And yet it was deeply flawed. This paper focuses on one of the major flaws in the Jones decision that largely escaped attention: the application of the non-retroactivity rule from Teague v. Lane. By comprehensively addressing the merits of the Teague bar as applied to Lackey claims, and making …
Managing Cyberthreat, Lawrence J. Trautman
Managing Cyberthreat, Lawrence J. Trautman
Lawrence J. Trautman Sr.
Cyber security is an important strategic and governance issue. However, because most corporate CEOs and directors have no formal engineering or information technology training, it is understandable that their lack of actual cybersecurity knowledge is problematic. Particularly among smaller companies having limited resources, knowledge regarding what their enterprise should actually be doing about cybersecurity can’t be all that good. My goal in this article is to explore the unusually complex subject of cybersecurity in a highly readable manner. First, an examination of recent threats is provided. Next, governmental policy initiatives are discussed. Third, some basic tools that can be used …
Propuesta De Aplicación De Los Elementos De Configuración De La Disuasión Al Derecho Del Consumo En Colombia (A Proposition Of Application Of The Elements Of Deterrence To The Consumer Protection Act In Colombia), Jesús A. Soto
Jesús Alfonso Soto Pineda
Resumen Las normas de consumo en Colombia, tal y como sucede en los sistemas jurídicos de mayor relevancia alrededor del globo, representan un elemento insoslayable de las empresas, a tomar en cuenta en el curso de su actividad económica. No obstante, al margen de la importancia teórica que comportan, ciertos precedentes parecen demostrar que dichas normas carecen de la contundencia debida en el territorio nacional y se enmarcan en un panorama empresarial no disuasivo, en virtud del cual, en oportunidades, las consecuencias de las infracciones a las normas de consumo se asumen vía decisión negocial, toda vez que arrogarse la …
