  • the legal context of school violence the effectiveness of federal state and Local Law Enforcement efforts to reduce gun violence in schools
    Law & Policy, 2001
    Co-Authors: Richard E Redding, Sarah M Shalf
    Abstract:

    In the wake of recent school shootings, communities and legislatures are searching for Law Enforcement solutions to the perceived epidemic of school violence. A variety of legal measures have been debated and proposed. These include: the enactment of tougher gun control Laws and more vigorous federal and Local Enforcement of existing gun control Laws; the enactment of Laws imposing civil or criminal liability on parents for their children’s violent behavior; the establishment of specialized courts and prosecution strategies for handling juveniles who are charged with weapons offenses; stricter Enforcement of school disciplinary codes; reform of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to make it easier to expel students for weapons violations; and greater use of alternative schools as placements for students who are charged with weapons violations.  This article provides a legal and empirical analysis of proposed legislation in these areas as informed by social science research on the patterns of school violence, gun acquisition by juveniles, and the effectiveness of various Laws and Law Enforcement measures. It proposes and discusses recommendations for legal reform. While efforts to reduce school violence will be most effective at the state and Local levels, the United States federal government has an important role to play, particularly in federal-state partnerships aimed at disrupting illegal gun markets, and through the formulation of national standards and guidelines. These standards and guidelines are for the Enforcement of existing Laws; inter-agency Law Enforcement cooperation and information-sharing (particularly using computer-based analysis); effective school discipline and alternative educational settings for disruptive youth; and psycho-educational interventions designed to detect and prevent school violence in the first place.

  • policing immigrants or policing immigration understanding Local Law Enforcement participation in immigration control
    Sociology Compass, 2017
    Co-Authors: Amada Armenta, Isabela Alvarez
    Abstract:

    As the United States has expanded its immigration control strategies, police participation in immigration Enforcement has increased in scope and intensity. Local Law Enforcement agencies contribute to immigration Enforcement in three key ways: through the direct Enforcement of immigration Law, through cooperation with federal immigration authorities, and through the everyday policing of immigrant communities. These Enforcement approaches have consequences for unauthorized immigrants, and for the agencies and officers tasked with providing them police services. This article reviews Local Law Enforcement practices and argues that future research should move away from an exclusive examination of police policies towards immigrants, to consider how the policing of immigrants actually occurs on the ground. Moreover, we argue that as long as discretionary arrests funnel removable immigrants into the deportation system, some immigrant communities will perceive policing as fundamentally unfair and discriminatory.

  • using Local Law Enforcement to enhance immigration Law in the united states a legal and social analysis
    Police Practice and Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Robert D Hanser
    Abstract:

    In the United States, controversial debate has centered around changes in immigration Enforcement, particularly in regard to the integration of Local Law Enforcement, rather than federal (national level) Law Enforcement, in fulfilling these duties. A number of legal statutes have been enacted and revised. Amidst federal revisions to these statutes, policies, and procedures, state-level governments have acted independently in how they utilize their own Law Enforcement personnel in combating illegal immigration. This has proven to be a source of conflict between state-level government and federal-level officials. Further, these circumstances have occurred against a backdrop setting where Latinos (mainly of Mexican descent) are the primary immigrants in states where many of these issues have developed. These developments hold numerous legal and social implications for the United States and its role within the global community.
