The Thirteenth Amendment and Human Trafficking: Lessons & Limitations

Part I of this Article contextualizes human trafficking within the doctrinal development of the Thirteenth Amendment and Section Two legislation enacted to address subsequent forms of unfree labor. This part describes the origins of a race-conscious Thirteenth Amendment framework and explains its relevance in guiding antitrafficking policy. The overwhelming focus of antitrafficking efforts on sexual exploitation strains the normative foundation of the Thirteenth Amendment. Part II examines the TVPA and the California Trafficking Victims Protection Act and identifies their most significant contributions to Thirteenth Amendment doctrine. Yet, this part finds that the absence of a Thirteenth Amendment framework to guide the execution of antitrafficking laws has resulted in an overemphasis on the criminal enforcement of sex trafficking at the expense of both labor and sex trafficked persons of color. Part III recommends an antitrafficking approach grounded in the Thirteenth Amendment’s aim to not only prohibit slavery, involuntary servitude, and other forms of unfree labor but to also overcome the structural forces that maintain race-based economic subordination. Informed by these Thirteenth Amendment concerns, antitrafficking measures and strategies may yield more effective strategies to prevent trafficking and assist trafficking survivors

The Effects Of Rapport-Building Style on Children’s Reports of a Staged Event

Three- to 9-year-old children (N = 144) interacted with a photographer and were interviewed about the event either a week or a month later. The informativeness and accuracy of information provided following either open-ended or direct rapport building were compared. Children in the open-ended rapport-building condition provided more accurate reports than children in the direct rapport-building condition after both short and long delays. Open-ended rapport-building led the 3- to 4-year-olds to report more errors in response to the first recall question about the event, but they went on to provide more accurate reports in the rest of the interview than counterparts in the direct rapport-building condition. These results suggest that forensic interviewers should attempt to establish rapport with children using an open-ended style

From Language to Empire: Walt Whitman in the Context of Nineteenth-Century Popular Anglo-Saxonism

Examines Whitman\u27s relationship to nineteenth-century Anglo-Saxonism (as seen in such periodicals as The Anglo-Saxon) and proposes that his vocabulary of Anglo-Saxonism problematizes his call for equality and universality, producing tensions in his work-- his changing focus from language to racial superiority and then to the postbellum negation of that superiority demonstrates the complexity of Whitman\u27s politics -and leading him after 1860 to employ both new vocabulary and new ideas which actively contradict the familiar strains of Anglo-Saxonism

Human Trafficking Private Right of Action: Civil Rights for Trafficked Persons in the United States

Human Trafficking Private Right of Action: Civil Rights for Trafficked Persons in the United States addresses a 2003 addition to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act allowing for a private right of action for persons trafficked to the United States. The article discusses civil litigation as a strategy for trafficked persons to obtain a remedy that specifically addresses the injury that they sustained: enslavement. The discussion situates this remedy within the broader purposes of anti-trafficking legislation

Effect of Perceived Fit and Attribution of CSR Programs on Brands’ Moral Legitimacy, Customer Satisfaction and Brand Loyalty

Due to increasing publicity on CSR, consumers, especially Generation Y, are greatly equipped with various CSR resources which enable them to critically evaluate the CSR activities. Previous literatures suggest that, as this generation and their purchasing power continues to increase, studying their attitude and behavior will be valuable to marketers and advertisers (Cui et al., 2003). College students, ages 18-24, represent a significant percent of this generation and are beginning to develop their life values and principles (Cui et al., 2003). While previous research has shown that Generation Y did respond positively to the CSR activities (Cui et al., 2003), further research needs to be conducted to determine exactly how and what types of CSR activities have the greatest influence on consumer loyalty

Mothers' cooking stress and family dining out : examining psychological influences and family dining out benefits on mothers' life satisfaction

This study aimed to (1) to examine whether the constructs of dining out constraints (i.e., interpersonal constraint, structural constraint, and intrapersonal constraint) influence the frequency of mothers dining out with their family, (2) to investigate the relationship between cooking stress, the need for a reward, the desire to dine out, constraints, and the frequency of dining out as leisure, focusing on the entire process from problem/need recognition to purchase decision, (3) to identify whether dining out benefits (i.e., enjoyment, convenience, detachment, relaxation, and learning experience) influence the life satisfaction of mothers, and (4) to assess the moderating effects of mothers' cooking stress on the relationships among dining out benefits and life satisfaction. The results for the constraint model indicated that both interpersonal and structural constraints of dining out have significantly negative impacts on family dining out frequency, but it was failed to find the effect of intrapersonal constraint on family dining out frequency. The findings for the decision-making model indicated that cooking stress has significantly positive impacts on both desire to dine out and need for reward. It was also found that need for reward has a significantly positive impact on desire to dine out, and that desire to dine out has a significantly positive impact on perceived frequency of family dining out as leisure. It was revealed that desire to dine out also has significantly positive impacts on both interpersonal constraint and intrapersonal constraint, while there did not seem to be a positive relationship between desire to dine out and structural constraint. Both interpersonal constraint and structural constraint did not have significantly negative impacts on perceived frequency of dining out. Yet, intrapersonal constraint had a significantly negative impact on perceived frequency of dining out. The results for the benefit model indicated that enjoyment, convenience, relaxation, and learning experience have significantly positive impacts on life satisfaction after family dining out. On the other hand, detachment did not have a significant impact on life satisfaction after family dining out. Regarding the moderating effects of high versus low cooking stress groups, the effects of convenience and learning experience on life satisfaction were significantly smaller in the high cooking stress group than in the low cooking stress group, but the effects of enjoyment on life satisfaction were significantly stronger in the high cooking stress group than in the low cooking stress group. The effects of detachment and relaxation on life satisfaction were not significantly different between the high and low cooking stress groups. The implications of these findings for the restaurant management strategies to attract mothers and their families are discussed.Includes bibliographical reference
