WHY AMERICANS ARE A PEOPLE OF EXCEPTIONAL VIOLENCE |
52 Crime and Justice 233 (2023) |
Among Western countries, the United States is an exceptionally violent place. Serious intentional violence--homicides, other violent gun crimes, mass killings, and police killings of civilians--is dramatically more common. Many American laws--regarding self-defense retreat doctrines, stand-your-ground laws, permissive or minimal regulation of... |

In the context of police violence and the proliferation of cameras, a growing body of anthropological scholarship has sought to understand the role of photography and its relationship to everyday policing.

"THE RIGHT TO PROTEST FOR RIGHT": REAFFIRMING THE FIRST AMENDMENT PRINCIPLE THAT LIMITS THE TORT LIABILITY OF PROTEST ORGANIZERS |
63 Boston College Law Review 1093 (March, 2022) |
Abstract: On December 16, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held in Doe v. Mckesson that a court could hold DeRay Mckesson liable for damages to a police officer whom an unidentified assailant injured at a 2016 Black Lives Matter protest that Mckesson helped organize. Mckesson did not cause the officer's injuries, and he did not... |

"WITH ALL THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW": SYSTEMIC RACISM, PUNITIVE SENTIMENT, AND EQUAL PROTECTION |
110 California Law Review 371 (April, 2022) |
United States criminal justice policies have played a central role in the subjugation of persons of color. Under slavery, criminal law explicitly provided a means to ensure White dominion over Blacks and require Black submission to White authority. During Reconstruction, anticrime policies served to maintain White supremacy and re-enslave Blacks,... |

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... |

ADDRESSING THE INEVITABILITY OF RACE IN THE DOJ'S ENFORCEMENT OF THE PATTERN-OR-PRACTICE INITIATIVE |
53 Loyola University Chicago Law Journal 287 (Winter, 2022) |
Section 14141 of the 1994 Crime Act empowers the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and drive reform of local law enforcement agencies found to have engaged in a pattern or practice of misconduct. During the Trump administration, the DOJ willfully allowed its powers under this section to lie dormant, despite a number of high-profile... |

[H]ow should people who affiliate with LatCrit, and related movements of critical, antisubordinationist, and progressive scholars, teachers, lawyers, law students, and other activists, attempt to move forward?

AIR POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE |

Particulate matter emissions give rise to the environmental problem with the worst public health consequences. Despite a half century of regulatory efforts, they still lead to 85,000 to 200,000 additional deaths each year and produce more than 100,000 heart attacks and almost nine million cases of exacerbated asthma.

ARE POLICE THE KEY TO PUBLIC SAFETY?: THE CASE OF THE UNHOUSED |
59 American Criminal Law Review 1597 (Fall, 2022) |
We as a nation have to think deeply about what it means for a community to be safe, and what role the police play (or do not play) in achieving that safety. We have conflated, if not entirely confused, two very different things. One is the desire to be safe, and how society can assist with safety, even for the most marginalized or least well-off... |

When Black people today declare, Black Lives Matter in the face of race-based killings by police and vigilantes, their voices echo Sojourner Truth asking, Ain't I a Woman in the face of chattel slavery and Black protesters declaring, I am a Man in the face of a racial caste system . Racism seeps into the process of jury selection--legally... |

BLAME THE VICTIM: HOW MISTREATMENT BY THE STATE IS USED TO LEGITIMIZE POLICE VIOLENCE |

The surprising thing about George Floyd is not that he was forcibly arrested for a nonviolent crime. That is a regular occurrence for Black men in America. Nor is it that he was killed by the police. A recent study published by the National Academy of Sciences found that [p]olice violence is a leading cause of death for young men--especially for... |

CAN'T REALLY TEACH: CRT BANS IMPOSE UPON TEACHERS' FIRST AMENDMENT PEDAGOGICAL RIGHTS |

The jurisprudence governing K-12 teachers' speech protection has been a convoluted hodgepodge of caselaw since the 1960s when the Supreme Court established that teachers retain at least some First Amendment protection as public educators. Now, as new so-called Critical Race Theory bans prohibit an array of hot button topics in the classroom, K-12... |

CATCHALL POLICING AND THE FOURTH AMENDMENT |
71 Duke Law Journal Online 111 (April, 2022) |
American police do a bit of everything. They direct traffic, resolve private disputes, help the sick and injured, and do animal control. Far less frequently than one might think, they make arrests. Americans reflexively call the police for troubles, big and small. The catchall tradition is shorthand for this melding of non-adversarial, public... |

Much of the recent conversation regarding law and police accountability has focused on eliminating or limiting qualified immunity as a defense for officers facing § 1983 lawsuits for using excessive force.

Academics and activists have adopted a critical... |
