Justice By Geography: Urban, Suburban, And Rural Variations In Juvenile Justice Administration, Barry C. Feld Jan 1991

Justice By Geography: Urban, Suburban, And Rural Variations In Juvenile Justice Administration, Barry C. Feld

Articles

Despite statutes and rules of statewide applicability, juvenile justice administration varies consistently with urban, suburban, and rural social structure and context. In urban counties, which are more heterogenous and diverse, juvenile justice intervention is more formal, bureaucratized, and due process-oriented. Formality is associated with greater severity in pre-trial detention and sentencing practices. By contrast, in more homogeneous and stable rural counties, juvenile courts are procedurally less formal and sentence youths more leniently. The Article explores the implications of "justice by geography" for juvenile justice policy.

Public Prosecution And Hydro-Engineering, Michael Tonry Jan 1991

Public Prosecution And Hydro-Engineering, Michael Tonry

Articles

There are inherent tensions between conceptions of public prosecutors as elected officials who respond to public intolerance of crime and criminals and as officers of the court who answer to normative injunctions of fairness and dispassion. Discussion of prosecutors' roles has progressed little beyond recognition of inherent tensions. There is no literature on prosecutorial strategies. The empirical literature on prosecutorial operations is scant.

Guilty Of The Crime Of Trust: Nonstranger Rape, Beverly Balos, Mary Louise Fellows Jan 1991

Guilty Of The Crime Of Trust: Nonstranger Rape, Beverly Balos, Mary Louise Fellows

Articles

Current law allows defendants to use a preexisting relationship to give credibility to a defense of consent or reasonable, good faith belief of consent. However, the law acknowledges various connections between people and recognizes that under certain circumstances it is appropriate both to prevent a person from acting and to require a person to act. If courts applied the doctrine of confidential relationships to acquaintance rape, evidence of the relationship would impose upon the defendant a heightened duty of care to the victim. This heightened duty of care would change the mental element of the crime. It would also change …


Employee Handbooks And The Legal Effect Of Disclaimers, Stephen F. Befort Jan 1991

Employee Handbooks And The Legal Effect Of Disclaimers, Stephen F. Befort

Articles

In his article, Professor Befort discusses the use of employee handbook disclaimers in the workplace. He begins the article with an examination of the employment-at-will rule, its history, and exceptions which recently have been utilized by courts that refuse to apply the rule under certain conditions. He then turns to the use of handbook disclaimers and explores the varying contexts in which courts agree or decline to enforce them. Finally, Professor Befort offers a somewhat different approach which takes into account both the benefits employers derive from the use of handbooks and the reasonable expectations they instill in employees.


The Effectiveness Of International Human Rights Pressures: The Case Of Argentina, 1976-1983, David Weissbrodt, Maria Luisa Bartolomei Jan 1991

The Effectiveness Of International Human Rights Pressures: The Case Of Argentina, 1976-1983, David Weissbrodt, Maria Luisa Bartolomei

Articles

One significant gap in the burgeoning academic literature of international human rights law is the lack of research related to the impact of international and national procedures on the actual protection of human rights. 1 It is remarkable that almost no academics or activists have even attempted to assess the effectiveness of human rights measures. Of course, demonstrating effectiveness in any area of human endeavor, particularly international human rights work, is very difficult. Many human rights advocates investigate abuses and write letters to governments because they believe that speaking out is better than remaining silent in the face of repression. …
