Double Inchoate Crimes, Ira Robbins Jan 1989

Double Inchoate Crimes, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

American criminal law treats the inchoate crimes of attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation as substantive offenses punishable by criminal sanctions. The legal system criminalizes the types. of behavior that constitute these offenses to intervene before an actor completes the intended illegal act. Some jurisdictions now recognize the concept of double inchoate crimes, punishing inchoate offenses that are the immediate objects of other inchoate offenses. In this Article, Professor Robbins examines the concept of double inchoate crimes, first by tracing the evolution of inchoate offenses and then by reviewing the judicial development of double inchoate crimes. Arguing that double inchoate crimes are …

Helping Jurors To Make Sense Of Expert Testimony, David Aaronson Jan 1989

Helping Jurors To Make Sense Of Expert Testimony, David Aaronson

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Today's jurors frequently sit in trials where confusing and conflicting expert testimony is likely to be presented by sophisticated and highly trained individuals, using terminology unfamiliar to the average person. Proposals have been made and trial courts are experimenting with various procedures—none thoroughly evaluated— to improve jurors’ ability to cope with such testimony. My purpose here is to more clearly identify the problem and to review some of the reform proposals.

Proposals To Strengthen The Inter-American System Of Protection Of Human Rights, Claudio Grossman Jan 1989

Proposals To Strengthen The Inter-American System Of Protection Of Human Rights, Claudio Grossman

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Mass and gross violations of human rights have been common in the Americas. Rebellion against poverty, the inability of some political systems to allow peaceful change, and the influence of anti-democratic ideologies have resulted in widespread repression. As constitutional governments collapse and politics are militarized, adequate protection of human rights by domestic law becomes illusory. The international law of human rights, by creating norms and procedures beyond the domestic realm offers, or should offer, an additional "layer" of legal protection. International law is a weak instrument in a system in which state sovereignty remains a strong foundation. However, for those …

Impact Of The Delegation Doctrine On Prison Privatization, Ira Robbins Jun 1988

Impact Of The Delegation Doctrine On Prison Privatization, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Few people would argue that the state of our nation's prisons and jails is ideal. Apart from whatever other ills plague these institutions, overcrowding is pervasive. Populations have doubled in a decade, and with preventive detention, mandatory minimum sentences, habitual offender statutes, and the abolition of parole in some jurisdictions, there is no relief in sight. Some states are even leasing or purchasing prison space in other states. And it is costing the taxpayers more than seventeen million dollars a day to operate the facilities, with estimates ranging up to sixty dollars a day per inmate.
