Police Violence and the Limits of Law on a Late Colonial Frontier: the "Borroloola Case" in 1930s Australia |
28 Law and History Review 141 (February, 2010) |
The dependence of colonization on police was a core feature both of settler colonies and of colonial dependencies, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the post-World War I decline of the British Empire.

Policing from the Gut: Anti-intellectualism in American Criminal Procedure |
69 Maryland Law Review 261 (2010) |
Over the last thirty years, the Supreme Court of the United States has given police increased power to search and seize practically anyone they wish. In many of the Supreme Court decisions that have helped create this sweeping power, the Court built its reasoning on premises and rhetoric that can be described as anti-intellectual, revealing an... |

Racial Profiling and a Punitive Exclusionary Rule |

Racial profiling has become a familiar and ubiquitous expression for racially-motivated police conduct--a traffic stop, a stop-and-frisk, a line of questioning, or any other police action targeting an individual for investigation because of his or her race. The law of constitutional criminal procedure, however, offers criminal defendants little... |
