47 Law and Human Behavior 100 (February, 2023) |

THE UNDER-POLICING OF CRIMES AGAINST BLACK WOMEN |
73 Case Western Reserve Law Review 795 (Spring, 2023) |
It is well known that over-policing has a severe adverse impact on communities of color. What is less well known is that over-policing is accompanied by a corollary--a pervasive and systemic under-policing of violence against women of color. The refusal to see women of color as victims of crime who are worthy recipients of justice, and the tendency... |

Do Black Guns Matter? This Article considers what Justice Scalia's opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller tells us about how the law treats Black gun owners' rights. The opinion appears to tell two stories. One elevates white gun holders through three white paradigms: the colonial revolutionary, the frontiersman, and the hunter. The second... |

ABOLITION AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS: TAIWAN'S AFFIRMATION OF BLACK AMERICAN ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENTS |
57 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 361 (Summer, 2022) |
America's use of police to maintain a social order that protects the interests of white upper-class citizens is similar to Taiwan's use of a police state to protect the interests of its authoritarian regime from 1945-1987. America's history and international positionality are vastly different from Taiwan's. However, grassroots movements that... |

We must rally to the defense of our schools. We must repudiate this unbearable assumption of the right to kill institutions unless they conform to one narrow standard.
