The Future Of Kinship Care: What Could Make This Ideal More Attainable For Families?, Dani Scudder
The Future Of Kinship Care: What Could Make This Ideal More Attainable For Families?, Dani Scudder
Public Interest Law Reporter
In recent years, there has been a radical shift by child protective agencies to look towards extended family before placing a child in foster care.1 Placing children with family or fictive kin, people who are not related but still important to that child's life, is called kinship care.2 This shift is a result of increased research surrounding the emotional and physical benefits of kinship care for displaced youth.3 Although professionals agree that placing children with relatives reduces trauma and enhances outcomes, the ability of relatives to care for their extended family members is hindered by financial and …

The War On Cannabis, Marla Zappa
The War On Cannabis, Marla Zappa
Public Interest Law Reporter
Federal legalization of marijuana has the potential to drastically reform the criminal justice system as thousands of Americans face lifelong penalties for simple drug offenses, especially communities of color who are prosecuted at much higher rates compared to white individuals.
Today, possession of marijuana is the leading drug offense for which Americans are arrested.1 Every year approximately 550,000 individuals are arrested for cannabis offenses, typically possession.2 This is because marijuana is the most common illicit drug used in the United States.3 In 2021, over 52.2 million Americans consumed cannabis in some form.4 Across the population, marijuana …

What A Waste: The Prosecution Of Hazardous Substances Crimes During The Trump Administration, Joshua Ozymy, Ph.D., Melissa Jarrell Ozymy, Ph.D.
Public Interest Law Reporter
The Trump Administration went to great lengths to roll back environmental regulatory and enforcement efforts. Yet, researchers know very little about the impact of the Administration on the criminal prosecution of hazardous substance crimes. This study utilizes content analysis of EPA criminal investigations leading to prosecution during the Trump Era to analyze charging and sentencing patterns and illustrate the greater themes that emerged during this period. Prosecutions are dominated by hazardous waste (48%), pesticide (41%), and lead-based paint (11%) crimes. Results show prosecutors were able to pursue crimes involving significant harm and culpable conduct, while securing over $90 million in …

Jeffrey Epstein: Pedophiles, Prosecutors, And Power, Blanche Bong Cook
Faculty Publications & Other Works
Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy, white, billionaire child rapist, ran an international sex trafficking ring. Rather than prosecute Epstein, Alex Acosta, a former United States Attorney, brokered a deal with Epstein’s defense attorneys coined, “the sweetheart deal of the century.” When Acosta abdicated his role as a state functionary and allowed Epstein’s defense attorneys to dictate the terms of Epstein’s freedom, Acosta gave the power of the State to private parties to protect a recidivist child rapist.
The failure to prosecute Epstein is all the more problematic because it sits at the epicenter of mass incarceration. Through its carceral system, the …

Chicago's War On Crime, Madison Flores

About one in five U.S. adults say they or someone close to them has had a personal experience with gun violence.1 Seventy-one percent of Americans also believe gun laws should be stricter.2 Most people favor a federal law preventing people with mental illnesses from purchasing guns and a smaller percentage favor a nationwide ban on semi-automatic weapons.3 The debate is not so simply divided between those who want to ban all guns and those who want no restrictions on guns. Rather, many Americans value both preventing gun violence and protecting gun rights.4

Affirmative Action In Jeopardy, Natalie Jakubowski
Public Interest Law Reporter
Forty-five years ago, the United States Supreme Court decided the landmark case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke ("Bakke"), which confirmed the constitutionality of race as a factor for consideration in college admissions, otherwise known as affirmative action.1 Since then, colleges have considered race as an additional "plus factor" in their admissions processes and have immensely increased the percentage of minority enrollment in colleges. However, the Supreme Court will hear two cases in 2023: Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. …
