The Collateral Consequences Of A Criminal Conviction, Thomas R. Mccoy, Walter Matthews Grant, John Lecornu, John Andrew Pickens, Dean Hill Rivkin, C. Roger Vinson Oct 1970

The Collateral Consequences Of A Criminal Conviction, Thomas R. Mccoy, Walter Matthews Grant, John Lecornu, John Andrew Pickens, Dean Hill Rivkin, C. Roger Vinson

Vanderbilt Law Review

As a general matter [civil disability law] has simply not been rationally designed to accommodate the varied interests of society and the individual convicted person. There has been little effort to evaluate the whole system of disabilities and disqualifications that has grown up. ...As a result, convicted persons are generally subjected to numerous disabilities and disqualifications which have little relation to the crime committed, the person committing it or,consequently, the protection of society. They are often harsh out of all proportion to the crime committed.

Challenges To Humanitarian Legal Approaches For Eliminating The Hazards Of Drunk Alcoholic Drivers, Joseph W. Little Jan 1970

Challenges To Humanitarian Legal Approaches For Eliminating The Hazards Of Drunk Alcoholic Drivers, Joseph W. Little

Georgia Law Review

Two epidemics ravage this country. One is the plague of highway crashes that claims the lives of three scores of thousands of Americans each year. The other is the scourge of alcoholism that brings not only personal degradation to the lives of six million sufferers but also despair, hardship, suffering and death to countless nonalcoholic persons. As even a cursory review of current legal literature will reveal, research findings demonstrate beyond any doubt that these two epidemics are not mutually independent. Although one is rarely able to place definite causal blame upon any single factor in any instance, statistical evidence …

Theory And Application Of Roscoe Pound's Sociological Jurisprudence: Crime Prevention Or Control?, Louis H. Masotti, Michael A. Weinstein Apr 1969

Theory And Application Of Roscoe Pound's Sociological Jurisprudence: Crime Prevention Or Control?, Louis H. Masotti, Michael A. Weinstein

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The current interest in reforming the administration of justice has been triggered by a number of factors including the 1967 report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice and the treatment afforded arrestees during the civil disorders of the past few years. The nation is alarmed at the reported annual increases in crime, and this alarm was manifested in the 1968 presidential election when "law and order" became a major issue. Superficially the answer may seem clear: more effective enforcement of the law and, when necessary, more stringent laws. The critical issue, however, is a …

Short-Term Rehabilitation And Crim Prevention, Jon C. Mackay Apr 1969

Short-Term Rehabilitation And Crim Prevention, Jon C. Mackay

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Any program designed to reduce the rate of recidivism in the United States must be viewed as a valuable tool of crime prevention. It can be safely said that at least two-thirds of the crimes committed every year are committed by recidivists, for over the past decade approximately fifty to sixty per cent of all offenders have become repeaters. Thus the elimination of the recidivist in our society would result in a minimum reduction of thirty-three per cent in the number of crimes committed over a given period of time. The task of eliminating recidivism has been left to the …

Legal, Medical And Psychiatric Considerations In The Control Of Prostitution, B. J. George Jr. Apr 1962

Legal, Medical And Psychiatric Considerations In The Control Of Prostitution, B. J. George Jr.

Michigan Law Review

In common with other nations of the world the United States today as in the past is faced with the problem of controlling prostitution, particularly in urban areas. At one time or another states and cities in the United States have experimented with the classic methods of controlling prostitution: reglementation, segregation and repression. Reglementation of individual houses or prostitutes has never been carried out on a statewide basis in any state in the United States, though one can find instances in certain large cities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in which city ordinances or de facto police regulations …

Aliens - Deportation - Activity Consituting Membership In Communist Party, Mark Shaevsky

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner, an alien who had resided in the United States since 1914, joined the Communist Party in 1935 and during that year paid dues, attended meetings, and worked briefly at an official outlet for communist literature. He terminated his relationship with the party after approximately one year. At a hearing to consider his possible deportation, the petitioner disclaimed that he had held any belief in the forcible overthrow of government, stating that he had regarded the Communist Party solely as an instrument for securing economic necessities. The Board of Immigration Appeals upheld the hearing officer's finding that petitioner had been …
