Juvenile Detention To "Protect" Children From Neglect, Margaret Beyer Phd.

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

The primary purpose of juvenile detention is to protect the community from dangerous young people while they wait for their cases to be heard in court.' From a developmental perspective, juvenile detention should occur less frequently than adult detention because juveniles need to be with family members and are perhaps more vulnerable to emotional harm from incarceration than adults. Recognized risks of detention include exposing naive, previously victimized youth to larger, older juveniles with delinquency histories. Other risks include interference with the juvenile's relationship with family and attendance in school.

The Right Of Children In The Juvenile Justice System To Inclusion In The Federally Mandated Child Welfare Services System, Jeanne Asherman-Jusino

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

The District of Columbia has one of the highest juvenile detention rates and the longest juvenile detention stays of any jurisdiction in the country.' Almost half of the children in Oak Hill, the District's secure juvenile detention facility, have no record of violent or serious offenses. 2 The District's large scale use of detention has increased, rather than decreased, crime. By placing young children charged with minor offenses, such as shoplifting, in daily contact with habitual violent juvenile offenders, Oak Hill serves as a training school for criminal behavior.3

Accelerated Education As A Remedy For High-Poverty Schools, William H. Clune

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

High-poverty schools, and the students who attend them, have historically faced substantial challenges in providing and receiving, adequate education. Despite some relief from the courts, school finance remedies that require the redistribution of monetary aid to low-wealth districts have encountered strong political opposition. In this Article, Professor Clune makes a renewed claim for accelerated education as the primary focus of adequacy litigation in school reform cases. He describes the nation's educational condition, in which there exists a disturbing correlation between poverty and low educational outcomes. He then drafts a vision of a comprehensive, school reform remedy, one that emphasizes institutional …

Social Legislation In The European Community And In The Member States-A Case Of Subsidiarity?, Reinhard Rack

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the principle of subsidiarity within the European Community (EC), highlighting its role in balancing power between the EC and its Member States. While subsidiarity, formalized in the Maastricht Treaty, aims to ensure decision-making occurs at the most effective level, its application often serves political rather than legal purposes, particularly in social legislation. The article critiques the ambiguity of subsidiarity, questioning whether it effectively limits EC power or remains a political tool influenced by public opinion and referendums. It also explores the integration of non-Member States, such as EFTA countries, into the EC framework, emphasizing the challenges of …

Disability And Welfare Reform: Keep The Supplemental Security Income Program But Reengineer The Disability Determination Process, Gay Gellhorn

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The thesis of this Article is that reform of the Supplemental Security Income disability program is properly on the welfare reform agenda, but not in the terms cast by proposed legislation. Procedural reform targeting identified problems should be the first step, rather than the termination of the federal entitlement program or the re-writing of the eligibility criteria. Substantive reform should follow such procedural reform. Therefore, this Article will focus particularly on procedural reform, although it will place that discussion in the context of the current legislative climate. Part II of this Article describes the current disability determination process and why …

The Failures Of Litigation As A Tool For The Development Of Social Welfare Policy, Susan V. Demers

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article argues that litigation is largely counterproductive to the development of a coherent and feasible social welfare policy and interferes with the constitutionally-derived separation of powers. It describes the proper role of the courts when evaluating government actions and the proper procedures for doing so. It then discusses several cases brought against the New York State Department of Social Services and local governments, arguing that the courts have abandoned their appropriate role, and using these decisions to illustrate its thesis.

Is There A Doctrine In The House? Welfare Reform And The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine, Jonathan Romberg

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article proposes that courts should subject unconstitutional conditions cases to intermediate scrutiny rather than presuming that a conditioned benefit is either valid or invalid based on its formal attributes. In conducting intermediate scrutiny, courts should consider: (i) the degree of equality or neutrality demanded by the underlying constitutional right; (ii) the importance of the benefit to the recipient; (iii) the germaneness of the condition to the reason the government may legitimately deny the benefit in the absence of the condition, and thus whether the government is attempting to use its economic and regulatory powers to gain leverage over a …
