Download or read book Examining the Effects of Extra Legal Factors on Immigration Decision Making in Asylum Cases written by Kristen Ng and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the ever-present debate over immigration law and policies since the inception of our nation, combined with recent controversies over the Arizona immigration laws and the executive order authorizing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), it is without a doubt that immigration law is an important area to study. The entire immigration legal system, embodied within the Executive Office for Immigration Review, is completely under the control of the Department of Justice and hence, the Attorney General of the United States. The Immigration Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) are the two systems of interest within this dissertation. The two administrative agencies are given much deference in their decision-making process. This dissertation seeks to study whether Immigration Judges and BIA members base the decision-making process on strictly legal principles, and not extra-legal factors. For this dissertation, I only study asylum case outcomes. At the Immigration Judge level, I coded important factors of each Immigration Judge and estimated an OLS regression of which of these factors influence decision-making. At the BIA level, I conducted a two-level factor test when coding my variables. At the first level, I coded for BIA member factors. At the second level, I coded for respondent factors. The quantitative study for the BIA estimates a Multinomial Logit Regression Model to determine which factors were important in predicting BIA judge votes in these asylum cases. The results show that both Immigration Judges and BIA member are affected by extralegal factors. This means that because the process is mostly unchecked, these "judges" enjoy a wide latitude of discretion in the decision-making process, especially in asylum cases, where discretion plays a large role. The findings confirm that these decision-makers do not strictly adhere to a legal reading of the law, but that they are affected by their own characteristics, as well as characteristics of the respondent before them.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society written by United States. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.
Download or read book Immigration and Citizenship written by Thomas Alexander Aleinikoff and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a theme of membership and belonging reflected throughout, Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy presents exceptionally broad coverage of immigration and citizenship and their unalienable rights. The book discusses constitutional protections, deportation, and judicial review and removal procedures. The authors define immigration and citizenship to include not only the traditional questions of who is admitted and who is allowed to stay in the United States, but also the complex areas of discrimination between citizens and non-citizens, unauthorized migration, federalism, and the close interaction of constitutional law with statutes and regulations. The fifth edition integrates important developments, including many changes to the immigration statutes as part of the Patriot Act; anti-terrorism enforcement; and splitting up the Immigration and Naturalization Service into various parts of the new Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies. Other significant changes include deleting the chapter on the concept of entry, folding the deportation chapter's discussion of relief into a general chapter on the grounds of deportability, and creating a new chapter on undocumented immigration.
