REIMAGINING THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT FROM A TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE PERSPECTIVE: DECARCERATION AND FINANCIAL REPARATIONS FOR CRIMINALIZED SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE |
98 New York University Law Review 912 (June, 2023) |
While the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has long been venerated as a major legislative victory for those subjected to sexual and gender-based violence (S/GBV), VAWA is less often understood as the funding boon that it is for police, prosecutors, and prisons. A growing literature on the harms of carceral feminism has shown that VAWA has never... |

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE DIVERSION AS A STRUCTURAL HEALTH INTERVENTION IN THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM |
113 Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology 541 (Summer, 2023) |
A new discourse at the intersection of criminal justice and public health is bringing to light how exposure to the ordinariness of racism in the criminal legal system--whether in policing practices or carceral settings--leads to extraordinary outcomes in health. Drawing on empirical evidence of the deleterious health effects of system involvement... |

ROBERTS'S REVISIONS: A NARRATOLOGICAL READING OF THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CASES |
137 Harvard Law Review 192 (November, 2023) |
In law, one of the stories told by some scholars is that legal opinions are not stories. The story goes: legal opinions are mere recitations of facts and legal principles applied to those facts; they are the end result of a contest between opposing sides that have brought the parties to an objective truth through a lawsuit. In these scholars' eyes,... |

To celebrate freedom and democracy while forgetting America's origins in a slavery economy is patriotism à la carte.
