Gender and race differences in criminal justice processing

The importance of gender and race as critical variables in criminal justice system processing is highlighted in this article. These processes influence women and minority racial groups as victims and as offenders. The article addresses the situation in the United States between 1970 and 1985 primarily, but the focus on gender and race has application to many other countries.Following a brief historical assessment of the processing of black and white females, characteristics of female offenders are examined. Analysis of court processing highlights sex differences in pleas, bargaining, and sentencing. The experience of sentencing reform in one state is examined, followed by a report of the commitment and incarceration of women in one state over a ten-year interval. These findings support the conclusion that gender and race must be analysed as critical independent and intervening variables in studies of arrest, court processing, sentencing, and incarceration.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/26344/1/0000431.pd

What Hillary Rodham Clinton really said about children's rights and child policy

As editors of a professional, scientific and scholarly journal in the children's field our interest is to promote fair, careful and objective discussion of children's issues. In this regard, we have been disturbed by recent efforts to misrepresent the views and contribution of Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of our colleagues in the children's field. In this paper we systematically analyze Hillary Rodham Clinton's writings and review her contribution. Her legal approach can best be described as conservative, arguing for judicial restraint with respect to state involvement in family life. Taking into account her work on behalf of children through the Children's Defense Fund we conclude that Hillary Rodham Clinton has been an important voice for the cause of children.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30351/1/0000753.pd

Ultra-high brilliance multi-MeV γ\gamma-ray beam from non-linear Thomson scattering

We report on the generation of a narrow divergence ($\theta\approx 2.5$ mrad), multi-MeV ($E_\text{MAX} = 18$ MeV) and ultra-high brilliance ($\approx 2\times10^{19}$ photons s$^{-1}$ mm$^{-2}$ mrad $^{-2}$ 0.1\% BW) $\gamma$-ray beam from the scattering of an ultra-relativistic laser-wakefield accelerated electron beam in the field of a relativistically intense laser (dimensionless amplitude $a_0\approx2$). The spectrum of the generated $\gamma$-ray beam is measured, with MeV resolution, seamlessly from 6 MeV to 18 MeV, giving clear evidence of the onset of non-linear Thomson scattering. The photon source has the highest brilliance in the multi-MeV regime ever reported in the literature
