Lessons Learned, Lessons Lost: Immigration Enforcement\u27s Failed Experiment with Penal Severity
This article traces the evolution of “get tough” sentencing and corrections policies that were touted as the solution to a criminal justice system widely viewed as “broken” in the mid-1970s. It draws parallels to the adoption some twenty years later of harsh, punitive policies in the immigration enforcement system to address perceptions that it is similarly “broken,” policies that have embraced the theories, objectives and tools of criminal punishment, and caused the two systems to converge. In discussing the myriad of harms that have resulted from the convergence of these two systems, and the criminal justice system’s recent shift away from severity and toward harm reduction, this article suggests that the criminal justice system has been more proactive in compensating for its excesses than the immigration enforcement system and discusses the reasons why

In Search for Extraterrestrial High Energy Neutrinos
In this paper we review the search for astrophysical neutrinos. We begin by
summarizing the various theoretical predictions which correlate the expected
neutrino flux with data from other messengers, specifically gammas and
ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We then review the status and results of
neutrino telescopes in operation and decommissioned, the methods used for data
analysis and background discrimination. Particular attention is devoted to the
challenge enforced by the highly uncertain atmospheric muon and neutrino
backgrounds in relation to searches of diffuse neutrino fluxes. Next, we
examine the impact of existing limits on neutrino fluxes on studies of the
chemical composition of cosmic rays. After that, we show that not only do
neutrinos have the potential to discover astrophysical sources, but the huge
statistics of atmospheric muons can be a powerful tool as well. We end by
discussing the prospects for indirect detection of dark matter with neutrino
telescopes.Comment: Solicited Review Article submitted to Annual Review of Nuclear and
