Disarming Abusers and Triggering the Sixth Amendment: Are Domestic Violence Misdemeanants Guaranteed the Right to a Jury Trial?

Domestic violence is a global issue, but in the United States it is especially lethal. Hundreds of women are shot and killed in the United States by intimate partners every year. Federal and state legislatures have enacted laws that focus on the issue of domestic violence and gun violence. In 1996, Congress passed the Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968, which permanently prohibits individuals convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors from possessing firearms. Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia have also enacted laws that mirror the Lautenberg Amendment. In many jurisdictions, misdemeanor domestic violence convictions carry a maximum prison term of six months. Such offenses are deemed “petty” and do not entitle the accused to the procedural right to a jury trial. Following the enactment of domestic violence misdemeanor firearm prohibitions, misdemeanants have challenged their convictions. They have argued that the firearm prohibitions are so severe that they upgrade the offenses to serious offenses and require jury trials under the Sixth Amendment. Most courts have found that the firearm prohibitions are not so severe that they guarantee the right to a jury trial. However, a minority of courts have determined and some scholars argue that the firearm prohibitions are severe and therefore guarantee the right to a jury trial. This Note examines U.S. Supreme Court jury trial precedent and scholarship on collateral consequences to consider whether firearm prohibitions upgrade domestic violence misdemeanor offenses. Focusing on Supreme Court precedent, legislative intent, and the movement to incorporate collateral consequences into criminal procedure, this Note argues that domestic violence misdemeanants, charged with presumptively petty offenses and subject to permanent firearm prohibitions, are not guaranteed the right to a jury trial

The Emergence of Penicillin-Resistant \u3cem\u3eStreptococcus pneumoniae\u3c/em\u3e in Connecticut and an Evaluation of Hospital Laboratory Susceptibility Testing Practices

In this paper I will present background information on the emergence of drug-resistant S. pneumoniae and information regarding laboratory methods used to detect antimicrobial susceptibility. I will then present the results of surveillance for penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae in 1992-1993 and 1995-1996, changes in laboratory susceptibility testing practices that occurred between 1993 and 1995, and an assessment of the accuracy of susceptibility test results reported by hospital laboratories in 1995-1996

Public Health Resources and Outreach: National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region

Describes the work of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region, and Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce to provide outreach services and promote awareness of evidence-based information resources for public health practice

Evidence-Based Public Health: Identifying and Using Information Resources

Public health evidence-based practice involves using the best available evidence to make informed public health practice decisions. This webinar introduced the concepts of evidence-based public health (EBPH) and provided an overview of resources that are online and freely accessible to the public health workforce. Resources highlighted included evidence-based guidelines, systematic reviews, formulated literature searches, best and promising practices, and additional sources of evidence available from the Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce, PHPartners.org

PHPartners.org: Single Point Access to Credible Public Health Information

Webinar presentation that provided an overview of public health information resources available from the public health web portal, PHPartners.org, including the Healthy People 2020 Structured Evidence Queries (pre-formulated searches of PubMed). PHPartners.org provides a single point of access to credible public health information including public health topic pages, health data tools and statistics, research reports, grant opportunities, news articles, conference proceedings, and continuing education opportunities. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants were able to: 1) navigate the PHPartners.org website to access credible and authoritative public health information and data; 2) locate research articles indexed in PubMed to support achieving Healthy People 2020 objectives; and 3) demonstrate the ability to search and retrieve information relevant to the public health workforce from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets

Providing Evidence-Based Public Health Resources: The Librarian’s Role

This presentation introduces the concepts of evidence-based public health (EBPH) and provides examples of EBPH information resources available online from the Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health website, http://library.umassmed.edu/ebpph and the Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce website, http://PHPartners.org. Health science librarians, as information specialists and knowledge managers, have the ability to search and find the best evidence to help public health practitioners make informed practice decisions.
