Who are the Bearers of Tort Law’s Duties
Economic theorists of law view tort law as an institution for realizing a collective end-the maximization of social welfare.The individual duties of tort law have only instrumental significance arising from the ways they work together with other rules to produce collectively optimal outcomes.Qua legal duty-holders, persons are mere agents of the collective, following rules that further the collective end.Qua legal right-holders, they are private …
Rights, Remedies, and Normative Uncertainty about Justice
I develop and defend a novel account of the private law of remedies according to which it is best understood as facilitating deliberations between the parties about the just outcome of their dispute rather than correcting injustice or righting wrongs. According to my democratic conception, the parties are the ones who ideally ought to resolve moral uncertainty about justice between them by deliberating together in good faith about what justice re…
Drivers of Probation Revocation in Pulaski County, Arkansas
Probation has received relatively little research attention. In this exploratory two-study inquiry, we first analyzed quantitative data to identify factors driving probation revocation in Pulaski County, Arkansas, among 10,260 individuals (mostly male and African American) between 2015 and 2019 (Study 1). We found individuals with felony histories were significantly more likely to be revoked (aOR 17.2 for one or two convictions; aOR 25.1 for thre…

What does it mean to teach American studies in UK higher education? We teach “American” content in our classes, modules, and degree programmes, but do we also conduct our teaching in ways specific to American studies? Lee Shulman describes a “signature pedagogy” as “the forms of instruction that leap to mind when we first think about the preparation of members of particular professions,” encompassing both the types of teaching we conduct in our c…
Educación de la primera infancia y lectoescritura emergente en Centroamérica y República Dominicana
La educación durante la primera infancia es crucial para el desarrollo cognitivo, emocional y social de las personas y tiene un impacto de largo plazo puesto que, en los primeros años de vida, constituye un período de amplio crecimiento y evolución; en parte, por los numerosos cambios que se producen en el cerebro. La evidencia revela que los programas educativos de buena calidad son los que aprovechan las potencialidades de la edad infantil para…
Too Harsh for Me but Not for Thee? Threat Control, Personal Freedom, and Perception of Pandemic Policy
Policies implemented to control the COVID-19 (C19) pandemic have faced public resistance. We examined this issue via an experimental vignette study embedded in a May 2020 national (U.S.) survey conducted by YouGov. Specifically, we explore how the public perceived a local policymaker proposing a C19-related isolation policy, based on the policy’s invasiveness or its punitivity. We find that more intrusive and more punitive policies generally resu…
The Circumstances of Civil Recourse
“He Would Take My Shoes and All the Baby's Warm Winter Gear so We Couldn't Leave”
PURPOSE: This qualitative study explored themes about barriers to substance use treatment for women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and opioid use in rural Vermont. The goal was to collect descriptive information to aid in the development of intervention ideas to facilitate better treatment access for women in this situation. METHODS: One-on-one telephone interviews with 33 rural Vermont women who experienced both IPV and opioid us…
Focus on prevention
Research Summary : Using a national survey experiment, we examined Americans’ national and local‐level support for facilities that provide a safer space for individuals to consume illicit drugs under the supervision of medical professionals. We determined whether support levels differed based on (1) the label used to refer to such facilities (“safe injection facilities” vs. “overdose prevention sites”), (2) whether beneficial information is provi…
Private liability without wrongdoing
Rights-based theories of private law tend to be wrongs based and defendant focused. But many private law wrongs do not seem like genuine wrongs, at least when the background distribution of resources is unjust. A very poor person, for example, may be held legally liable for breaching a one-sided contract with a very rich person. When such a contract reflects and reproduces existing injustice, it is hard to view the poor person’s breach of such a …
Promises, Reliance, and Psychological Lock-In
We obtain experimental evidence that suggests that promisors are more likely to keep promises the more they were relied on by a promisee; that this effect is anticipated by promisees, who accordingly strategically overinvest to lock promisors into keeping their promises (psychological lock-in); and therefore that legal enforcement can reduce overinvestment as promisees do not need to make use of the extralegal mechanism of psychological lock-in w…
Les possibilités de désistement assisté pour les femmes enceintes et mères examinées à partir d’un échantillon communautaire
Depuis quelques années, les chercheurs et les intervenants qui oeuvrent dans le domaine de la supervision communautaire des personnes contrevenantes réclament un nouveau paradigme de surveillance, fondé sur une compréhension du processus de désistement. Le présent article examine ce processus à partir d’un échantillon de 28 jeunes femmes enceintes ou mères qui ont des antécédents criminels et des dépendances à des substances psychoactives. Leurs …
Narrative Identity Development and Desistance from Illegal Behavior among Substance-Using Female Offenders
Boy With Toy or Black Male With Gun
The current study explores how online media framed the police shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland, OH. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of a large sample of online news articles published in the first 48 hours following the event. In doing so, we consider how online media outlets used headlines, narrative, quotes, and images to frame this emerging story. We find that the online news media framed the shooting of Rice in ways…
Women on Parole, Identity Processes, and Primary Desistance
The current study employs a prospective mixed-methods design to examine women parolees’ identities early in their supervision and the association of their identity development at that point to their record of subsequent arrests. Guided by narrative identity theory, we first conduct quantitative analysis of the relationship between redemption and contamination narratives and subsequent arrests. We then return to the qualitative interview data to s…
Desistance and Identity Repair
Recent research has examined the role of the narrative construction of identity in desistance from criminal offending and substance use. The narrative identity theory of desistance was developed with a population of male offenders. The present analysis explores the applicability of the theory to a sample of substance-using pregnant women and mothers, a highly stigmatized and increasingly criminalized group. The analysis of in-depth interview data…
Pregnant women and substance use
Substance use during pregnancy and motherhood is both a public health and criminal justice concern. Negative health consequences associated with substance use impact both the mother and the developing fetus, and there are ongoing attempts to criminalize substance use during pregnancy that put pregnant substance-using women at risk of detection, arrest, and punishment. This study explored the experiences of substance-using mothers as they navigate…
Unconscionability, Exploitation, and Hypocrisy
I argue that under a wide range of conditions it will be difficult for the state to justify non-enforcement of contracts on grounds of unconscionability without making itself vulnerable either to the charge of paternalism or the charge of hypocrisy. On the one hand, the state might take the view that there is something morally wrong with the agreement because it didn’t make sense for the weaker party to enter into it in the first place. But this …
Better Than Nothing
The United States health care system has reached a crisis point, with 49.9 million Americans now living without health insurance (DeNavas-Walt, Proctor, and Smith 2011). The United States government has responded to this crisis in a variety of ways, perhaps the most visible being the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March 2010. With a goal of expanding access to health insurance to 32 million Americans by 2019,…

Does Pragmatism Lead to Pluralism
As its most basic mission, pragmatism sets out to determine an idea’s merit by examining its practical consequences, rather than through purely abstract evaluation. As a result of this emphasis on an idea’s effectiveness, the complex ways in which pragmatists conceive of abstract notions such as truth and self-concept are often overlooked. Close examination of the works of two pragmatist thinkers, William James and Jerome Bruner, reveals a crucia…

A Comparison of Hypertensive and Hypotensive Schizophrenics
Seven hundred and sixty-six institutionalized patients were screened for evidence of hypertension and hypotension. In 515 schizophrenic patients, the incidence of hypertension was comparable to that expected in the normal population, 4.6 per cent; this was also true of the nonschizophrenic patients (5.2 per cent). The incidence of hypotension in the schizophrenic group, 16.7 per cent, was three times that expected in the normal population and sim…
