The Politics Of Sexual Psychopathy: Washington State's Sexual Predator Legislation, Stuart Scheingold, Toska Olson, Jana Pershing
The Politics Of Sexual Psychopathy: Washington State's Sexual Predator Legislation, Stuart Scheingold, Toska Olson, Jana Pershing
Seattle University Law Review
What are the principles that guide this return to indeterminacy? Taken at face value, rehabilitation would seem to be the goal of the civil commitment provisions that make avail- able a treatment program to cure and reintegrate sexual offenders. Of course, rehabilitation was unequivocally rejected by determinate sentencing reformers, who considered it both discriminatory and ineffective.6 An alternative interpretation is that the sexual predator provisions lead in an incapacitative direction-that is, they are designed to predict which offenders are so dangerous that they must be more or less permanently institutionalized to protect the society. Either way, the sexual predator legislation …

Capital Punishment And The Right To Life: Some Reflections On The Human Right As Absolute, Peter J. Riga
Capital Punishment And The Right To Life: Some Reflections On The Human Right As Absolute, Peter J. Riga
Seattle University Law Review
The right to life of the person and its various applications in different political situations is one of the most debated subjects of our day. This question is important today for a number of reasons: the widespread demand for abortion, the drive for the right to die, and the challenge to capital punishment. The debate seems at times to be confused: those opposing all forms of war and capital punishment seem to approve of abortion; while others vehemently opposed to abortion, approve of war and capital punishment. But this inconsistency disappears once an absolute view of man's right to life …
State Prisoners, Federal Courts, And Playing By The Rules: An Analysis Of The Aldisert Committee's Recommended Procedures For Handling Prisoner Civil Rights Cases, Gay Gellhorn
Seattle University Law Review
The Comment first will recapitulate the full range of procedural initiatives proposed by the Aldisert Committee for adoption as local court rules. Then it will analyze the Committee's recommendations relating to pleading forms and screening the complaints before service of process, the critical stage at which courts dispose of most prisoner complaints. Although concluding that important aspects of the recommended procedures are fundamentally inconsistent with federal statutes and rules, this Comment acknowledges the valid concerns generating the Committee's proposals, and then suggests alternative judicial actions responsive to the phenomenon of state prisoner civil rights com- plaints in federal courts.
Can The Boat People Assert A Right To Remain In Asylum?, Brian Roberts
Can The Boat People Assert A Right To Remain In Asylum?, Brian Roberts
Seattle University Law Review
World political reaction to the Southeast Asian refugee crisis has not asserted the refugees' human rights under international law. As a result, most of the refugees lack security from forcible return to the conditions they fled. They would have that security if the world powers act instead to implement non-refoulement, an established moral principle that arguably has attained the status of customary international law.
Protection Of Non-Combatants In Guerrilla Wars, James E. Bond
Protection Of Non-Combatants In Guerrilla Wars, James E. Bond
Faculty Articles
The purpose of this article is twofold: first, some of the gaps in Convention protections of non-combatants will be identified; and second, possible remedies will be offered. The alleged atrocities at My Lai have exposed one major gap in Convention protection, although surprisingly few popular or scholarly commentators have mentioned or discussed it. The Geneva Civilian Convention does not protect the nationals of a co-belligerent state from the depredations of an ally. The author details the Geneva Convention categories that apply in these situations and offers revisions that could be implemented to provide the laws necessary to protect non-combatants.
Arrests In Civil Disturbances: Reflections On The Use Of Deadly Force In Riots, Henry Mcgee
Arrests In Civil Disturbances: Reflections On The Use Of Deadly Force In Riots, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee examines the use of deadly force in quelling recurrent communal rioting of alienated black urban masses in 1968. Napoleon fired “grapeshot” into a rioting Parisian crowd in 1795, and while his brutality may have quieted the rioters it should not be set as an example for our modern day police forces. Deadly force used against large numbers of citizens, who just prior to the riots were for the most part law-abiding and peaceful, can have crushing social consequences. In this article Professor McGee discusses police departmental policy, the limits of deadly force in arrests, excessive force and liability, …
