Public Perceptions Of Registry Laws For Juvenile Sex Offenders, Carrie E. Reynolds, Cynthia J. Najdowski, Jessica M. Salerno, Margaret C. Stevenson, Tish R.A. Wiley, Bette L. Bottoms
Public Perceptions Of Registry Laws For Juvenile Sex Offenders, Carrie E. Reynolds, Cynthia J. Najdowski, Jessica M. Salerno, Margaret C. Stevenson, Tish R.A. Wiley, Bette L. Bottoms
Psychology Faculty Scholarship
Understanding jurors’ perceptions of juvenile defendants has become increasingly important as more and more juvenile cases are being tried in adult criminal court rather than family or juvenile court. Intellectual disability and child maltreatment are overrepresented among juvenile delinquents, and juveniles (particularly disabled juveniles) are at heightened risk for falsely confessing to crimes. In two mock trial experiments, we examined the effects of disability, abuse history, and confession evidence on jurors’ perceptions of a juvenile defendant across several different crime scenarios. Abused juveniles were treated more leniently than nonabused juveniles only when the juvenile’s crime was motivated by self-defense against …
Queer Lockdown: Coming To Terms With The Ongoing Criminalization Of Lgbtq Communities, Ann Cammett
Queer Lockdown: Coming To Terms With The Ongoing Criminalization Of Lgbtq Communities, Ann Cammett
Scholarly Works
The criminal justice system exacts a toll on some Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) communities. The experience of living in poverty and the concomitant exposure to a variety of governmental systems puts all poor, but especially LGBTQ low-income people of color, at risk of incarceration. What typically goes unexamined are the myriad ways that LGBTQ people are drawn into and experience the carceral system because of sexual identities and expression. This negative effect surfaces at every conceivable level: the marginalization and subsequent criminalization of queer youth; anti-gay bias in the judicial system; the rerouting of domestic violence cases …
Defensive Mechanism: A Father's Right To Defend The Unborn, Lawrence Estrada
Defensive Mechanism: A Father's Right To Defend The Unborn, Lawrence Estrada
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the Michigan Court of Appeals' decision in Kurr, which recognized a father's right to defend his unborn children under the defense of others doctrine, citing Michigan's fetal homicide law. This ruling extends legal protections to fetuses while maintaining exceptions for lawful abortions, reflecting broader shifts in legal and public policy toward fetal protection. The decision highlights the tension between protecting unborn life and preserving women's reproductive rights, emphasizing the narrow application of the defense to avoid undermining abortion rights established by Roe v. Wade.
The Phases And Faces Of The Duke Lacrosse Controversy: A Conversation, James E. Coleman, Angela Davis, K.C. Johnson, Lyrissa Lidsky
The Phases And Faces Of The Duke Lacrosse Controversy: A Conversation, James E. Coleman, Angela Davis, K.C. Johnson, Lyrissa Lidsky
Faculty Publications
The genesis of this panel is an essay I wrote arguing that the single moniker "Duke lacrosse controversy" encapsulates a broad, multi-faceted legal, political, and social controversy that more accurately consists of five related seriatim sub-controversies. Initially, it was a sexual assault case. An African-American woman, hired as an exotic dancer at a party thrown by members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team, reported to Durham police that she had been sexually assaulted by several white team members. The allegations quickly became a national story, tinged with issues of race, class, gender, privilege, and at some level, the role …
Ten Years After Ewanchuk The Art Of Seduction Is Alive And Well: An Examination Of The Mistaken Belief In Consent Defence, Elaine Craig
Ten Years After Ewanchuk The Art Of Seduction Is Alive And Well: An Examination Of The Mistaken Belief In Consent Defence, Elaine Craig
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
It has been a decade since the Supreme Court of Canada released its controversial decision in R. v. Ewanchuk. One of the central doctrinal issues raised by critics of Ewanchuk was a concern that it would not sufficiently allow for the mistaken belief defence in cases involving ‘morally innocent’ accused engaged in typical sexual overtures or in cases where the accused and complainant were in an ongoing sexual relationship at the time of the offence. A review of the reported cases, since 1998, demonstrates that the Ewanchuk analysis, properly interpreted, does not unjustly criminalize the progression of intimate behavior between …
The Political Morality Of Public Sex, Elaine Craig
The Political Morality Of Public Sex, Elaine Craig
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
In deciding cases that involve the intersection of criminal law and sexual mores, the courts are faced with the challenge of determining the appropriate moral framework from which to approach simultaneously pri- vate and social concerns. In indecency cases, Canadian courts historically employed a communitarian model of sexual morality based on the community’s standard of tolerance. However, the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent jurisprudence affirms a harm-based test, which relies upon and protects the fundamental values en- shrined in the Canadian constitution. This article ana- lyzes the Court’s decisions in R. v. Labaye and R. v. Kouri and demonstrates that …
Campus Violence: Understanding The Extraordinary Through The Ordinary, Nancy Chi Cantalupo
Campus Violence: Understanding The Extraordinary Through The Ordinary, Nancy Chi Cantalupo
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Recent mass shootings on college campuses have focused many on the responsibilities of colleges and universities to prevent and respond to such violence. However, in statistical terms, this type of campus violence can thankfully be considered relatively extraordinary. In contrast, the only type of campus violence that is unfortunately common enough to be characterized as “ordinary” is peer sexual assault and similar forms of campus gender-based violence. Accordingly, this essay explores the scope and dynamics of both “ordinary” and “extraordinary” campus violence, discusses the law and “best practices” dealing with peer sexual violence victims’ rights and the due process rights …
The $62 Million Question: Is Virginia's New Center To House Sexually Violent Prisoners Money Well Spent?, Molly T. Geissenhainer
The $62 Million Question: Is Virginia's New Center To House Sexually Violent Prisoners Money Well Spent?, Molly T. Geissenhainer
University of Richmond Law Review
This comment examines Virginia's current civil commitment statute for sexual predators and attempts to identify areas where Virginia should concentrate its limited resources in order to address more adequately the ever-increasing problem of what to do with sex offenders. Part II briefly describes why sex offenders present law enforcement with unique problems in prevention and deterrence. Part III details the history of civil commitment legislation. Part IV examines Supreme Court of the United States jurisprudence regarding the constitutionality of sex offender civil commitment statutes. Part V examines the Virginia Sexually Violent Predator Act. Part VI briefly considers current violent sexual …
Rethinking Child Advocacy After Roper V. Simmons: "Kids Are Just Different" And "Kids Are Like Adults" Advocacy Strategies, Elisa Poncz
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The article examines the tension between two competing arguments in juvenile law: "kids are just different" and "kids are like adults." It critiques the binary approach often used in child advocacy and proposes a more nuanced, patchwork strategy that combines both perspectives to better serve the diverse needs of juveniles. The analysis focuses on key legal contexts, including the death penalty, life without parole, and minors' rights in medical decision-making, education, and internet access. The author argues that a balanced approach is essential to address the complexities of juvenile rights and responsibilities.

Myspace In A Post-Grokster World: Digital Finger Pointing For Offenses Perpetrated Through Use Of Social Networking Sites After Mgm V. Grokster, Cheryl J. Eisner
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The note examines the dismissal of a negligence lawsuit against MySpace, arguing that interactive computer services should not be held liable for offline harms committed by users. It emphasizes the importance of protecting such platforms under the Communications Decency Act (CDA) and highlights the need to balance free speech and technological development against concerns for user safety.
Strict Liability And Negligent Rape: Or How I Learned To Start Worrying And Question The Criminal Justice System, Dini Rosenbaum
Strict Liability And Negligent Rape: Or How I Learned To Start Worrying And Question The Criminal Justice System, Dini Rosenbaum
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note critiques strict liability and negligent rape standards, advocating for a more nuanced approach that prioritizes subjective fault and societal education to address the limitations of current rape laws. It emphasizes the need to align legal standards with the defendant's actual state of mind while addressing systemic barriers to justice, particularly in date rape cases. The analysis highlights the gap between legal reforms and their practical application, suggesting that education could be a more effective tool for prevention than relying solely on legal changes.
Re-Interpreting The Criminal Regulation Of Sex Work In Light Of R C Labaye, Elaine Craig
Re-Interpreting The Criminal Regulation Of Sex Work In Light Of R C Labaye, Elaine Craig
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
In 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada revised the meaning of indecency under the Criminal Code. This was achieved by removing from its definition any reliance on the community standard of tolerance test. In R. c. Labaye the Court reinforced the notion that the focus of laws regulating sexuality should not be based on sexual morality and moral harm to society but rather on political morality and actual harm to individuals. The reasoning in R. c. Labaye should change the way that courts understand the prostitution-related provisions in the Criminal Code. In particular, a proper application of its reasoning suggests …

Rape And The Exception In Turkish And International Law, Ruth A. Miller
Rape And The Exception In Turkish And International Law, Ruth A. Miller
Washington and Lee Law Review
This Comment suggests, first, that Turkey's new (2004) rape law is indebted to recent trends in international sexual legislation, and second, that both Turkish and international rape law are in turn the product of a century of European exceptionalism. The 2004 Turkish criminal code is a text that has redefined the Turkish state's approach to issues ranging from torture to corruption to immigrant smuggling to rape and adultery. Fundamentally a domestic document, it is aimed at rearticulating and liberalizing the state-citizen relationship in Turkey. At the same time, it is emphatically an international text-a spectacle geared toward moving Turkey one …
Twenty-Five Years Of Hudood Ordinances- A Review, Martin Lau
Twenty-Five Years Of Hudood Ordinances- A Review, Martin Lau
Washington and Lee Law Review
Shortly after coming into power in 1979, General Zia ul-Haq began to Islamize the Pakistan legal system. One measure used to convert Pakistan into an Islamic state was the introduction of hadd offenses-those offenses for which the Qur'an prescribed fixed punishments-into the criminal law. This Article specifically examines the impact of one of these provisions, the Offense of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, on sexual offenses under the Pakistan Penal Code. This statute criminalized all forms of adultery and fornication outside of a legally valid marriage, including instances of rape where the burden of proof had not been met. In …
Birds Of An Illegal Feather: Prostitution And Paid Pornography Should Be Criminalized Together, Zachary David Streit
Birds Of An Illegal Feather: Prostitution And Paid Pornography Should Be Criminalized Together, Zachary David Streit
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The note argues that prostitution and paid pornography should be criminalized together under the same legal framework. Both activities are criticized for their harmful effects, including the objectification and exploitation of women, as well as contributing to social ills such as disease and violence. The author advocates for the use of existing prostitution laws to prosecute those involved in pornography, arguing that this approach is legally sound and would help reduce the negative impacts of both industries.

Shifting Paradigms: From Relapse Prevention To Wellness, Robert E. Longo Lpc, Ncc
Public Interest Law Reporter
Today's youth present greater challenges than during any other time in recent history. The author proposes that "sex offending by youth is a symptom of a greater problem." Young people with sexual behavior problems and sexual aggression behaviors must be looked at from a holistic/ecological perspective as they may be subject to co-morbid diagnosis, traumatic histories that may have neuro-biological impact on the brain and brain development, and learning deficits and disabilities among other concerns. This article will briefly outline the current thinking about assessing youth with sexual behavior problems and youth who are sexually aggressive from both a sexual …

"We're Here To Protect Democracy. We're Not Here To Practice It": The U.S. Military's Involvement In Trafficking In Persons And Suggestions For The Future, Jorene Soto
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article argues that the U.S. military has historically been complicit in human trafficking, particularly through its involvement in prostitution near overseas bases, and that current legal and policy measures fail to adequately address this issue. While laws like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) provide some framework, enforcement and penalties are insufficient to deter military personnel from contributing to trafficking. The article calls for stronger legal policies, enhanced education, and stricter penalties to combat this issue effectively.

Civil Commitment Of Sexually Violent Predators: The Search For A Limiting Principle, Aman Ahluwalia
Civil Commitment Of Sexually Violent Predators: The Search For A Limiting Principle, Aman Ahluwalia
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The article challenges the legal and empirical justifications for civil commitment of sexually violent predators, arguing that current standards, such as mental abnormality and lack of control, are overly broad and lack robust empirical support. It contends that recidivism rates for sex offenders are not significantly higher than those of other offenders, undermining the rationale for civil commitment. The analysis advocates for a more nuanced approach to incapacitation, emphasizing criminal law solutions over medicalized commitments.
Forgetting Freud: The Courts' Fear Of The Subconscious In Date Rape (And Other) Criminal Cases, Andrew E. Taslitz
Forgetting Freud: The Courts' Fear Of The Subconscious In Date Rape (And Other) Criminal Cases, Andrew E. Taslitz
ExpressO
Courts too often show a reluctance to learn the lessons taught by social science in criminal cases, especially where subconcious processes are involved. The subconscious is seen as rarely relevant and, in the unusual cases where it is relevant, it is viewed as a disease commandeering the conscious mind and thus helping to exculpate the accused. Drawing on the example of forensic linguistics in date rape cases as illustrative of a broader phenomenon, this article argues that the courts' misuse of social science stems from fear and misunderstanding of the workings of the subconscious mind. Accordingly, the piece contrasts the …

Poor Whites, Benevolent Masters, And The Ideologies Of Slavery: A Slave Accused Of Rape In The Antebellum South, Jason A. Gillmer
ExpressO
This Article analyzes in detail a case involving a slave accused of raping a white woman in the 1850s to offer a fresh perspective on our basic assumptions about sex and race in the slave South. Joining a new group of “cultural-legal historians,” the author looks beyond the legal language of Southern legislatures and high courts, and focuses instead on the trial record of one case: State v. Pleasant. In doing so, the author uncovers the stories of ordinary men and women – the slave, his master, his accuser, his attorney, the jurors, and others – to see how the …

Reconceptualizing Child Sexual Exploitation As A Bias Crime Under The Protect Act, Tracy Agyemang
Reconceptualizing Child Sexual Exploitation As A Bias Crime Under The Protect Act, Tracy Agyemang
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that the PROTECT Act, while expanding legal measures to combat child sexual exploitation, fails to address the crime's root causes and its nature as a form of discrimination. It advocates for reconceptualizing child sexual exploitation as a bias crime, which would enhance legal deterrence, increase penalties, and better acknowledge the psychological trauma experienced by victims. The note emphasizes that recognizing exploitation as a bias crime would address the systemic factors, such as poverty and discrimination, that perpetuate the crime.
