Changing The Public Drunkenness Laws: The Impact Of Decriminalization, David Aaronson, C. Dienes, Michael Musheno
Michael Musheno
Laws that decriminalize public drunkenness continue to use the police as the major intake agent for public inebriates under the "new" public health model of detoxification and treatment. Assuming that decriminalization introduces many disincentives to police intervention using legally sanctioned procedures, we hypothesize that it will be followed by a statistically significant decline in the number of public inebriates formally handled by the police in the manner designated by the "law in the books." Using an "interrupted time-series quasi-experiment" based on a "stratified multiple-group single-I design," we confirm this hypothesis for Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis, Minnesota. However, through intensive "microanalysis" …

Policing Identities: Cop Decision Making And The Constitution Of Citizens, Trish Oberweis, Michael Musheno
Policing Identities: Cop Decision Making And The Constitution Of Citizens, Trish Oberweis, Michael Musheno
Michael Musheno
Examines police decision making by focusing on stories from 10 officers & drawing together contemporary thought about identities & police subculture. The inquiry suggests that police decision making is both improvisational & patterned. Cops are moral agents who tag people with identities as they project identities of their own. They engage in raw forms of division or stereotyping, marking some as Others to be feared & themselves as protectors of society, while exercising their coercive powers to punish "the bad." Due, in part, to the many ways that they identify themselves, cops also connect with people as unique individuals, including …

Social, Cultural, And Temporal Dynamics Of The Aids Case Congregation: Early Years Of The Epidemic, Kriss Drass, Peter Gregware, Michael Musheno
Social, Cultural, And Temporal Dynamics Of The Aids Case Congregation: Early Years Of The Epidemic, Kriss Drass, Peter Gregware, Michael Musheno
Michael Musheno
The article looks at how social and cultural factors shape judicial decisions, with respect to the AIDS epidemic in the United States, with reference to the early years of the epidemic from 1983-1989. The temporal analysis of the opinions of AIDS related cases suggests the emergence of more than one AIDS case congregation, by the end of the 1980s among reported cases. The initial construction of AIDS as a gay disease mobilized gay activists, including gay rights litigators who saw up close the problems that White gay people with AIDS faced in the workplace, housing, and health care. The activists …

Court Management Of Aids Disputes: A Sociolegal Analysis, Michael Musheno, Peter Gregware, Kriss Drass
Court Management Of Aids Disputes: A Sociolegal Analysis, Michael Musheno, Peter Gregware, Kriss Drass
Michael Musheno
An investigation of how US courts act on disputes emerging over acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), delineating the social & cultural justifications they use to undergird their decisions. It is postulated that courts operate normally to depoliticize social tensions revealed by AIDS, legitimating the routines of dominant parties in the AIDS sociolegal network. At the same time, courts deviate from their normal practices by upholding the claims of subordinate parties in this network, particularly people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) & their allies. Analysis of AIDS-related court rulings published 1983-1987 -- the formative years of AIDS litigation in the US …

Telling Tales In School: Youth Culture And Conflict Narratives, Calvin Morrill, Madelaine Adelman, Michael Musheno, Cindy Bejarano
Michael Musheno
This study departs from mainstream criminology to approach youth conflict and violence from a youth-centered perspective drawn from cultural studies of young people and sociolegal research. To access youth orientations, we analyze experiential stories of peer conflict written by students at a multiethnic, low-income high school situated in an urban core of the western United States. We argue that youth narratives of conflict offer glimpses into how young people make sense of conflict in their everyday lives, as well as insights as to how the images and decisional bases embedded in their storytelling connect to adult-centered discourses found in popular …
Interrogating Richard Leo's Claims About Police Scholarship, Michael Musheno
Interrogating Richard Leo's Claims About Police Scholarship, Michael Musheno
Michael Musheno
The article discusses notions of police scholars propounded by review essayist Richard Leo. The current generation of sociolegal scholars pursuing police studies are integrating American and European traditions to generate a new body of critical inquiry, uncovering new insights about the meaning of policing, pursuing issues of policing ignored in the 1960s and connecting police practices to processes of state formation and legitimacy. This latter focus includes critical scholarship about community policing, an area of inquiry that Leo claims is fully under the grip of the policy audience. As for the pull of the policy audience, Leo offers no empirical …
