THE RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES OF INNOCENCE IN SCHOOL DISCIPLINE: IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY AND RESEARCH |
30 Psychology, Public Policy, and Law 260 (August, 2024) |

THE SECOND AMENDMENT'S RACIAL JUSTICE COMPLEXITIES |
108 Minnesota Law Review 3225 (June, 2024) |
The relationship between the Second Amendment and racial justice is complicated. That's because the relationship between penal administration and racial justice is complicated.
