Hearing Voices: Judicial Consideration Of Ontario’S Social Assistance Legislation, Teri Muszak
Hearing Voices: Judicial Consideration Of Ontario’S Social Assistance Legislation, Teri Muszak
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Legal decision-makers use language that can convey unwarranted assumptions about poverty and the poor. These assumptions can be challenged by analyzing the words that judges and adjudicators use when writing about, talking about, and applying social assistance legislation. In many instances, these assumptions do not align with the lived-experience of persons who receive government income support. This thesis aims to uncover the assumptions made in appellate-level decisions through the method of discourse analysis. It uses discourse theory to suggest that the ways imprecise words are given meaning in a legal field can have a profound influence on how the law …
Policing Cyber Bullying: How Parents, Educators, And Law Enforcement Respond To Digital Harassment, Ryan Broll
Policing Cyber Bullying: How Parents, Educators, And Law Enforcement Respond To Digital Harassment, Ryan Broll
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Some prior research has emphasised how adults ought to address cyber bullying, yet little is known about how they actually prevent and respond to digital harassment. This study addresses this gap in the literature by exploring the formal and informal “policing” of cyber bullying by a network of security actors: parents, teachers and school administrators, and the public police. Data were collected through a mixed methods research design consisting of semi-structured qualitative interviews with eight parents, 14 teachers, and 12 members of law enforcement (n = 34) and quantitative surveys completed by 52 parents.
Drawing upon nodal governance theory as …

The Federal Disproportionate Minority Contact Mandate: An Examination Of Its Effectiveness In Reducing Racial Disparities In Juvenile Justice, Hanna Leigh Wurgaft
The Federal Disproportionate Minority Contact Mandate: An Examination Of Its Effectiveness In Reducing Racial Disparities In Juvenile Justice, Hanna Leigh Wurgaft
Honors Projects
This paper challenges the effectiveness of the federal Disproportionate Minority Contact mandate. It first traces the legislative history of the mandate, from the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Act of 1974, to the establishment of the Disproportionate Minority Confinement mandate of 1988, to the final shift to Disproportionate Minority Contact in 2002. It then describes and analyzes implementation of the mandate in the New England states, showing uneven data collection and limited compliance with the mandate. The next chapter explores factors outside the jurisdiction of the DMC mandate that create and perpetuate racial disparities in juvenile justice, including concentrated poverty, police …
The Right To Digital Privacy: Advancing The Jeffersonian Vision Of Adaptive Change, Kerry Moller
The Right To Digital Privacy: Advancing The Jeffersonian Vision Of Adaptive Change, Kerry Moller
CMC Senior Theses
The relationship between privacy, technology, and law is complex. Thomas Jefferson’s prescient nineteenth century observation that laws and institutions must keep pace with the times offers a vision for change. Statutory law and court precedents help to define our right to privacy, however, the development of new technologies has complicated the application of old precedents and statutes. Third party organizations, such as Google, facilitate new methods of communication, and the government can often collect the information that third parties receive with a subpoena or court order, rather than a Fourth Amendment-mandated warrant. Privacy promotes fundamental democratic freedoms, however, under current …
Bridging The Justice Gap: Exploring Approaches For Improving Indigent Access To Civil Counsel, Kelsey Atkinson
Bridging The Justice Gap: Exploring Approaches For Improving Indigent Access To Civil Counsel, Kelsey Atkinson
Pomona Senior Theses
The United States is among one of the only democratic industrialized nations in the world that does not provide guaranteed access to civil representation in cases involving basic human need. This leaves indigent litigants who are at risk of losing their homes or their children left to seek counsel through insufficient pro-bono programs or limited scope legal self-help centers. This thesis provides a history of the struggle for the right to civil counsel, known as Civil Gideon, and explores a variety of proposed solutions to bridge the justice gap for indigent litigants. Despite considerable support for Civil Gideon among scholars …
