The Intersection Between Young Adult Sentencing And Mass Incarceration, Josh Gupta-Kagan
The Intersection Between Young Adult Sentencing And Mass Incarceration, Josh Gupta-Kagan
Faculty Publications
This Article connects two growing categories of academic literature and policy reform: arguments for treating young adults in the criminal justice system more leniently than older adults because of evidence showing brain development and maturation continue until the mid-twenties; and arguments calling for reducing mass incarceration and identifying various mechanisms to do so. These categories overlap, but research has not previously built in depth connections between the two.
Connecting the two bodies of literature helps identify and strengthen arguments for reform. First, changing charging, detention, and sentencing practices for young adults is one important tool to reduce mass incarceration. Young …
Principled Policing: Warrior Cops And Guardian Officers, Seth W. Stoughton
Principled Policing: Warrior Cops And Guardian Officers, Seth W. Stoughton
Faculty Publications
Policing in the United States is in crisis. Public confidence in policing is at the lowest point since the Rodney King beating. A bare majority of Americans still report confidence in the police, and an unprecedented number of people report no or very little confidence in policing. A long history of poor police/community relations in minority and low-income neighborhoods has been exacerbated by egregious acts of misconduct, some of which have been captured on video and shared on social media. Activists, politicians, and police officials themselves have called for better education and equipment, from de-escalation training to body-worn camera systems. …

Official Indiscretions: Considering Sex Bargains With Government Informants, Susan S. Kuo
Official Indiscretions: Considering Sex Bargains With Government Informants, Susan S. Kuo
Faculty Publications
This article addresses an alarming new investigatory practice employed by law enforcement officials: requiring arrestees to carry out sexual tasks as confidential informants. Requiring arrestee informants to engage in sexual activities in exchange for a reduction or possible elimination of criminal penalties they might otherwise incur raises constitutional concerns. Informants can and do accept a variety of investigative assignments. But, as this article shows by drawing on sociological research, sex tasks differ fundamentally from more conventional informant undertakings. The importance of this distinction is that while adult individuals undoubtedly can provide consent to sexual matters, the validity of such consent …

Culture Clash: Teaching Cultural Defenses In The Criminal Law Classroom, Susan S. Kuo
Culture Clash: Teaching Cultural Defenses In The Criminal Law Classroom, Susan S. Kuo
Faculty Publications
In the law school classroom, the Socratic method of legal analysis removes a dispute at issue in a given case from its sociocultural context and takes the cultural backgrounds of the parties into account only when they serve the legal argument. The language of the law commands law students to siphon off the emotional and cultural content because of the enduring belief that the law is neutral and impartial. Accordingly, cultural conflicts are deemed irrelevant to legal analysis because laws are unbiased and culture-blind. This detached outlook has been termed perpectivelessness to denote a neutral, odorless, colorless non-perspective.
