The Long Arm Of The Law: Incarceration And The Ordinary Family, Kimberly L. Alderman
The Long Arm Of The Law: Incarceration And The Ordinary Family, Kimberly L. Alderman
Kimberly L. Alderman
This Article examines how the ordinary family uses popular narratives about the criminal justice system to cope with and reconcile the increasing intrusion of the system into the family experience. It explores these narratives in the context of a morality play, discussing common perceptions about the court, law enforcement, criminals, and the law itself, as reflected through dramatic television shows and movies. The Article argues that these narratives cultivate a common bond that crosses race and class, giving ordinary families a common enemy: a dysfunctional criminal justice system that systematically overpunishes and overincarcerates.
Honor Amongst Thieves: Organized Crime And The Illicit Antiquities Trade, Kimberly L. Alderman
Honor Amongst Thieves: Organized Crime And The Illicit Antiquities Trade, Kimberly L. Alderman
Kimberly L. Alderman
Government agencies, non-profits, scholars, and advocacy groups alike assert that organized crime dominates the illicit antiquities trade. The illicit antiquities trade has been linked to money laundering, extortion, the drug and arms trades, terrorism and insurgency, and even slavery. This Article considers the connection between organized crime and the illicit antiquities trade, examines known criminal subcultures and evidence of their involvement in the trade, and analyzes lateral cooperation between loosely organized criminal groups. Finally, the Article poses the broader question of whether this lateral cooperation suggests that the antiquities trade as a whole operates as an organized criminal industry.
