DOBBS, BRUEN, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: FEWER ABORTIONS, MORE GUNS, AND THE EFFECTS OF BOTH ON SURVIVORS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE |
102 North Carolina Law Review 699 (March, 2024) |
The central focus of this Article is to posit that the approach of courts in invoking notions of privacy to largely ignore intimate partner violence throughout most of American history continues to eclipse the full ramifications of both reproductive rights and Second Amendment case law. Homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant women, more... |

108 Minnesota Law Review 2889 (June, 2024) |
In the spring of 2023, a series of back-to-back shootings shook the nation. A Black teenager in Missouri trying to pick up his two younger siblings went to the wrong door and rang the doorbell.

108 Minnesota Law Review 2811 (June, 2024) |
Gun violence is a pressing national concern. And it has been for decades. Throughout nearly all that time, the primary tool lawmakers have deployed to stanch the violence has been the machinery of the criminal law. Increased policing, intrusive surveillance, vigorous prosecution, and punitive penalties are showered on gun offenders. This Article... |

It was a sunny day in Billings, Montana, when I first entered a courtroom as an expert witness on behalf of Miriam Grieg, a battered woman who killed her husband in what she claimed was self-defense. Grieg had shot her husband with his own gun--emptying six bullets into his body--and then ran to her mother's house and called the police. She told... |

GOING FEDERAL, STAYING STATESIDE: FELONS, FIREARMS, AND THE "FEDERALIZATION" OF CRIME |
73 American University Law Review 585 (February, 2024) |
Scholars have long debated the federalization of crime. Proponents assert that federal prosecutions are more likely than state prosecutions to result in convictions and severe punishments, and thus more likely to deter crime. Opponents argue that federalization leads to the arbitrary, and even racist, punishment of a few unlucky defendants plucked... |

We explore the relationship between gun prevalence and homicides in the United States in 2003-19. We create a novel measure of gun density in a narrow geographic area using an underutilized metric: gun dealers. We find that an increase in gun dealer density is significantly and positively associated with increased homicides in subsequent years. We... |

The twenty-first century continues to witness gynecological abuse in the form of forced sterilizations of minority women. In many parts of the world, states weaponize family planning programs as a form of reproductive policy against poor women and women of color, treating women's fertility as a drain on the state's resources.
