Nix v. Williams: The Inevitable Discovery Exception to the Exclusionary Rule

In Nix v. Williams, the Supreme Court created an inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule. This exception allows the prosecution to introduce illegally obtained evidence at trial upon a showing that such evidence would inevitably have been obtained, even without the police misconduct. The Supreme Court rejected the imposition of a second prong on the inevitable discovery exception which would have required the government to prove the absence of bad faith. The purpose of the inevitable discovery exception is to prevent the setting aside [of] convictions that would have been obtained without police misconduct

Bureaucratic Regulation and Emotional Labor: Implications for Social Services Case Management

Abstract This paper examines Family and Independence Case Managers in the social services in Atlanta, GA, as they negotiate a highly bureaucratized benefit delivery system that undervalues the emotional costs inherent in its operation. I begin with an examination of Weber’s (1946) theories of bureaucracy, as typified by three components of authority and control in the office. I proceed to Ritzer’s (2004) theory of “McDonaldization,” which advances Weber’s explication of ideal types of bureaucracy by highlighting four institutionalized dimensions of the corporate business model. Then, by incorporating Hochschild’s (1983) discussion of emotional labor, I include an analysis of the impact of emotional labor on workers’ experiences. I use a snowball sampling strategy, interviewing ten former colleagues. By employing the use of in-depth interviews, I attempt to provide an accurate depiction of the work-lives of these case managers and of the struggles they face in relation to their work and to themselves

Community Structure in Time-Dependent, Multiscale, and Multiplex Networks

Network science is an interdisciplinary endeavor, with methods and applications drawn from across the natural, social, and information sciences. A prominent problem in network science is the algorithmic detection of tightly-connected groups of nodes known as communities. We developed a generalized framework of network quality functions that allowed us to study the community structure of arbitrary multislice networks, which are combinations of individual networks coupled through links that connect each node in one network slice to itself in other slices. This framework allows one to study community structure in a very general setting encompassing networks that evolve over time, have multiple types of links (multiplexity), and have multiple scales.Comment: 31 pages, 3 figures, 1 table.

Overrepresented and Under Discussed: From Conceptual Analysis to Practical Implications for Crossover among Black Girls

Crossover youth are young people who have experiences of maltreatment and exhibit delinquency, which may or may not come to the formal attention of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Black youth are overrepresented among the crossover youth population, and evidence suggests that Black girls who experience crossover are particularly in need of specialized attention. Black girls’ experiences within child welfare, juvenile justice, and related systems are unique given the intersection of race and gender in light of issues such as discrimination, disparate treatment, and abuse undergone while in the care of agencies touted to protect them. Guided by a Black Feminism perspective and Critical Race Theory that acknowledge the intersection of race, gender, and additional social identities as well as structural racism and power, this manuscript provides an overview of the aforementioned issues and focuses on practical implications for better serving Black girls who experience crossover and their mental health. The authors offer a strengths-based, community framework to better understand the mental health needs of Black girls who experience maltreatment and exhibit delinquent behavior. In particular, the aim is to recognize the role that systemic racism and gendered experiences and obstacles have on individuals navigating the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Finally, the authors present tangible implications for individuals and communities that are unique to the intersectional needs of Black system-involved girls

Influencia del sedentarismo en las desviaciones raquídeas de la población escolar de Léon

Nuestra investigación trata de evaluar los hábitos sedentarios, en los escolares de 10 y 14 años de una zona de León, y su influencia en las desviaciones raquídeas. Para la obtención de los hábitos nos basamos en el tets de Medoza, R. también se realizó una evaluación física de los niños para observar las desviaciones raquídeas. En el tratamiento de la información se utilizó el análisis de la varianza univariante y multivariante, además del análisis de componentes principales y análisis discriminante. Llegando a la conclusión, respecto al tiempo de televisión que el día de la semana que más tiempo dedican los niños a ver la televisión es discrimante de los escolares que tienen desviación raquídea

A two weight local Tb theorem for the Hilbert transform

We obtain a two weight local Tb theorem for any elliptic and gradient elliptic fractional singular integral operator T on the real line, and any pair of locally finite positive Borel measures on the line. This includes the Hilbert transform and in a sense improves on the T1 theorem by the authors and M. Lacey.Comment: 121 pages, 3 figures, 50 pages of appendices. We correct three gaps in the treatment of the stopping form in v12: the proof of Lemma 9.3 there requires a larger size functional, a collection of pairs is missing from the decomposition at the bottom of page 149, and an error was made in the definition of restricted norm of a stopping form.

Le parasitisme du zébu dans l'Ouest de la République Centrafricaine. I. Parasitisme des veaux de lait

Dans l'Ouest de la République Centrafricaine, les auteurs signalent l'existence, chez les veaux de lait de 0 à 7 mois, de nombreux parasites, seuls ou associés entre eux, appartenant aux espèces suivantes: Neoascaris vitulorum, Strongyloides papillosus, Oesophagostomum (Bosicola) radiatum, Bunostomum phlebotomum, Cooperia punctata et Cooperia pectinata, Haemonchus contortus et diverses Coccidies. Les animaux sont atteints dans la proportion de 76,4 p. 100. Les taux d'infestation et la nature du parasitisme varient en fonction de l'âge et de la saison. La mortalité oscille entre 1 et 20 p. 100, selon les troupeaux et les années. Il s'agit là, pour l'élevage de la République Centrafricaine, d'un problème majeur, à résoudre d'urgenc
