Understanding The Determinants Of Police Identification Of Human Trafficking Cases, 2012 Northeastern University
Understanding The Determinants Of Police Identification Of Human Trafficking Cases, Amy Farrell
Amy Farrell
The passage of new laws criminalizing the trafficking of persons for labor and sexual services has raised public awareness about the problem of trafficking. In response, we expect local law enforcement to learn about the problem, identify trafficking victims and make arrests. The numbers of victims identified by the police, however, has paled in comparison to official estimates, leading some to question the existence of a trafficking problem. Missing from this debate is information about how frequently police encounter situations involving human trafficking and how well prepared officers are to deal with these cases. Analyzing survey responses from a national …

Understanding And Improving Law Enforcement Responses To Human Trafficking: Final Report, Amy Farrell, Jack Mcdevitt, Stephanie Fahy
Amy Farrell
Though recognition of the importance and severity of human trafficking has grown in recent years, the identification and investigation of human trafficking cases remains a complex undertaking for local law enforcement. Effectively responding to human trafficking requires officers to notice and identify victims who often have been hidden from or had poor relationships with law enforcement in the past (e.g., women in prostitution, migrants, immigrant community member, and poor women). Sometimes officers may be reluctant to intervene in sex and labor trafficking situations due to a belief that victims were complicit with their own victimization. Local law enforcement response is …

The Infamous ‘One Percenters’: A Review Of The Criminality, Subculture, And Structure Of Modern Biker Gangs, 2012 Rhode Island College
The Infamous ‘One Percenters’: A Review Of The Criminality, Subculture, And Structure Of Modern Biker Gangs, Danielle Shields
Faculty Publications
Owing to the difficulty of conducting empirical research within sophisticated and highly organized criminal enterprises, modern biker gangs have long remained an enigma within law enforcement and academic circles. Despite their secrecy, with an army of an estimated 20,000 members and an unknown number of associates willing to do their bidding, these organizations are responsible for drug trafficking in the streets and within prisons, violence, theft, prostitution rings, and other dangerous criminal behavior both domestically and abroad. In order to address the dearth of readily available information regarding modern biker gangs, this paper serves as a review of the current …

High Expectations And Some Wounded Hopes: The Policy And Politics Of A Uniform Statute On Videotaping Custodial Interrogations, 2012 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
High Expectations And Some Wounded Hopes: The Policy And Politics Of A Uniform Statute On Videotaping Custodial Interrogations, Andrew E. Taslitz
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
Much has been written about the need to videotape the entire process of police interrogation of suspects. Videotaping discourages abusive interrogation techniques, improves police training in proper techniques, reduces frivolous suppression motions, and improves jury decision making about the voluntariness and accuracy of a confession. Despite these benefits, only a small number of states have adopted legislation mandating electronic recording of the entire interrogation process. In the hope of accelerating legislative adoption of this procedure and of improving the quality of such legislation, the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) ratified a uniform recording statute for consideration by the states. I was …
Is Emerging Adulthood Influencing Moffitt’S Developmental Taxonomy? Adding The “Prolonged” Adolescent Offender, 2012 Montclair State University
Is Emerging Adulthood Influencing Moffitt’S Developmental Taxonomy? Adding The “Prolonged” Adolescent Offender, Christopher Salvatore, Travis A. Taniguchi, Wayne Welsh
Department of Justice Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
The study of offender trajectories has been a prolific area of criminological research. However, few studies have incorporated the influence of emerging adulthood, a recently identified stage of the life course, on offending trajectories. The present study addressed this shortcoming by introducing the "prolonged adolescent" offender, a low-level offender between the ages of 18 and 25 that has failed to successfully transition into adult social roles. A theoretical background based on prior research in life-course criminology and emerging adulthood is presented. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health analyses examined the relationship between indicators of traditional turning …
Impact Of Parental Separation Preceded By Parental Conflict On The Propensity For Youth Criminality, 2012 Regis University
Impact Of Parental Separation Preceded By Parental Conflict On The Propensity For Youth Criminality, Casimir Bannis
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Parental separation preceded by parental conflict increased the propensity for youth criminality as the pre-separation conflict engenders an environment which hampers effective paternal and maternal care for children are carried over into post-separation life. The social development theory was used to explain the significance of socialization and the extent and quality of children's relationships with their external environment as factors important to their participation in anti-social behaviors, noting that, an overlapping of pro and anti-social paths are the constructors of children's socialization capabilities. The secondary data collected on this research topic, concluded that a family environment marred by issues consequential …

The Contribution Of Dynamic Risk Factors To The Predictive Validity Of The Ohio Risk Assessment Instrument Community Supervision Tool, 2012 Boise State University
The Contribution Of Dynamic Risk Factors To The Predictive Validity Of The Ohio Risk Assessment Instrument Community Supervision Tool, Charlene Taylor-Kindrick, Matthew Makarios
Charlene Y. Taylor
The use of dynamic risk factors to predict recidivism is important because it is argued that static factors cannot adequately account for changes in that occur in risk over time. This research tests this argument by examining the improvement in predictive accuracy when dynamic risk factors are added to the criminal history scale in the ORAS community supervision tool. Results and implications will be discussed.

The Causes And Effects Of Get Tough: A Look At How Tough-On-Crime Policies Rose To The Agenda And An Examination Of Their Effects On Prison Populations And Crime, 2012 University of South Florida
The Causes And Effects Of Get Tough: A Look At How Tough-On-Crime Policies Rose To The Agenda And An Examination Of Their Effects On Prison Populations And Crime, Cheyenne Morales Harty
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The paper analyzes the rise of get-tough crime legislation to the American public policy agenda and examines the effects of these policies on crime and inmate populations. Get-tough policies analyzed include sentencing reform, the War on Drugs and collateral consequences. Because there is no empirical literature on the effect of collateral consequences on crime, the paper employed an OLS regression model partly derived from institutional anomie theory to test for criminogenic effects. The study then employed OLS regression analysis to determine the affect of these independent variables on crime rates in each of the 50 states. The study concluded that …

The American Legal Profession And The War Crimes Trials In Germany, 1942-1951, Robert G. Waite
Robert G. Waite
Summary. As reports of Nazi atrocities became more common in the summer of 1942 the calls from within the American legal profession for the prosecution of those responsible grew too. A number of attorneys advocated strong criminal sanctions and they urged the leaders of those nations allied against Nazi Germany to establish tribunals to handle these cases. Advocates of stern legal measures and criminal prosecution believed that such actions were essential to the ensure justice for those who had been persecuted. These calls were soon overshadowed by those legal scholars who viewed legal action as crucial to the development of …

Effects Of Prisoner Location On Visitation Patterns, 2012 Boise State University
Effects Of Prisoner Location On Visitation Patterns, Anjannette Monroe
McNair Scholars Research Journal
This study explores factors related to visitation patterns for prisoners under Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC). A quantitative data analysis was conducted using a database provided by the ODRC which encompassed visits and demographics on incarcerated prisoners (N=50,551) from January 2006 until July 19, 2011. Qualitative analyses depicted a hypothetical visitor’s experience including calculations of transit distances/duration for inmate visits. Hypotheses posited for this study included: (1) there is a negative correlation between travel distances/costs and visitation frequency; (2) inmate relocation to more distant facilities negatively affects visitation patterns; (3) inmate visitation will be greater during early incarceration …
