Changing the Criminal Justice System Response to Sexual Assault
In jurisdictions throughout the United States, thousands of sexual assault kits (SAKs; also known as a “rape kits”) have not been submitted by the police for forensic DNA testing. DNA evidence may be helpful to sexual assault investigations and prosecutions by identifying perpetrators, revealing serial offenders through DNA matches across cases, and exonerating those who have been wrongly accused. This paper describes a longitudinal action resear…
Improving Timely Linkage to Care among Newly Diagnosed HIV-Infected Youth
Will history repeat itself? Growth mixture modeling of suspected serial sexual offending using forensic DNA evidence
Arrest Warrants at the International Criminal Court
Pre-trial detention is not advance punishment and the deprivation of liberty should only occur if necessary in the interests of justice. Striving to achieve this objective, Article 58 of the Rome Statute dictates that an arrest warrant shall be issued if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the court. The Pre-Trial Chamber has over the years relied on the reasonable suspicion thr…
Should Rape Kit Testing Be Prioritized by Victim–Offender Relationship
Research Summary This study examined the DNA forensic testing outcomes from 894 previously untested sexual assault kits (SAKs) from Detroit, Michigan. At issue was how many of these SAKs would produce DNA profiles eligible for upload into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), the national forensic DNA database maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then how many would produce CODIS hits (DNA matches) to other crimes. Fifty‐four perce…
Operationalizing Design Fiction with Anticipatory Ethnography
Transmuting the entanglement of situations, contexts, artifacts and people, designers mediate the relationship between 'what could be' and 'what is'. All design, then, has an implicit relationship with the future. Latency will always exist as part of this relationship, between the inception of a design concept, development and delivery of that concept, and the manifestation of that concept's potential impact on the world. As we move further into …
Shared Ethnography of Shared Cities
This paper aims to foreground issues for design ethnographers working in urban contexts within the smart-city discourse. It highlights ethnography's role in a shared urban future by exploring how ethnographers might pave the way for envisioning digital infrastructure at the core of Smart City programs. This paper begins by asking whether urban development practitioners can design for inclusive interaction with Smart Urban Infrastructure. The rese…
Anticipatory Ethnography
Here we consider design ethnography, and design fiction. We cast these two approaches, and the design endeavor itself, as forward-looking processes. Exploring the means by which design ethnography and design fiction derive their value reveals the potential for a mutually beneficial symbiosis. Our thesis argues that design ethnography can provide design fiction with the methods required to operationalize the practice in industry contexts. Meanwhil…
Finding influencers in networks using social capital
Diversity and Minorities
This paper formulates a theory to identify at risk minority/protected class employees. The theory suggest that there are minorities with layered minority discrimination risk, due to the presence of multiple additive factors, which can result in higher eccentricity quotients, and lower idiosyncrasy credit, which in turn results in a more biased view of the employee in terms of lower than average competence. As such the author suggests a process to…
