Criminalizing Communities: Nypd Abuse of Vulnerable Populations
JANUARY 2013 URBAN JUSTICE CENTER CRIMINALIZING COMMUNITIES: NYPD ABUSE OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS Police Reform Organizing Project Urban Justice Center 123 William Street, 16th floor New York, NY 10038 Phone: 646-602-5625 Fax: 212-533-4598 [email protected] Walter Leitner International Human Rights Clinic Leitner Center for International Law and Justice Fordham University School of Law 33 W. 60th Street New York, NY 10023 Phone: 212-636-7716 [email protected] ABOUT THE POLICE REFORM ORGANIZING PROJECT Through research and analysis, public education, policy advocacy, and coalition building, the Police Reform Organizing Project aims: to stop the current wasteful, ineffective, unjust, illegal, bullying, homophobic, transphobic, and racially biased practices of the NYPD; to create a strong, independent entity that monitors and assesses police priorities and policies and that effectively investigates and punishes abusive conduct; and, to establish and implement local problem solving measures that strengthen communities while reducing crime. ABOUT THE URBAN JUSTICE CENTER The Urban Justice Center is a unique organization which serves New York City’s most vulnerable residents through a combination of direct legal services, systemic advocacy, community education and political organizing. The Urban Justice Center’s unique structure involves nine discrete projects which work on various issues faced by politically marginalized communities in New York City.

Good information nourishes democracy; bad information poisons it. The mission of the Shorenstein Center is to support and protect the information ecosystem. This means promoting access to reliable information through our work with journalists, policymakers, civil society, and scholars, while also slowing the spread of bad information, from hate speech to “fake news” to all kinds of distortion and media manipulation. The public square has always had to contend with liars, propagandists, dividers, and demagogues. But the tools for creating toxic information are more powerful and widely available than ever before, and the effects more dangerous. How our generation responds to threats we did not foresee, fueled by technologies we have not contained, is the central challenge of our age. How do journalists cover the impact of misinformation without spreading it further? How do technology companies, -

Discovery of Japan by a New Englander: a Diary of William
DISCOVERY OF JAPAN BY A NEW ENGLANDER; A DIARY OF WILLIAM CLEVELAND, CAPTAIN'S CLERK ON BOARD THE MASSACHUSETTS IN 1800: AN INTRODUCTION MADOKA KANAI* I THE IDEA THAT THE FAMOUS 1853 EXPEDITION OF COM modore Matthew Calbraith Perry did not initiate relations between Japan and the United States has been widely ac cepted.' Perhaps, the most balanced and factual description of the relations is that of Shunzo Sakamaki, Professor at the Univ ersity of Hawaii, which was largely written on the basis of pri mary and secondary materials then available in the two countries (J apan and the United States). Mr. Sakamaki points out that the Perry expedition was preceded to Japan - on at least twenty five occasions - by twenty-seven American vessels, including fif teen merchantmen, nine whalers, and three warships.' An effort to enrich Sakamaki's chronicle in terms of the analysis of the means by which the United States made the intellectual acquaint ance of Japan, has recently been done by Columbia University Professor Henry F. Graff, in his introduction to an unofficial diary *The text of this unpublished diary as transcribed from its original in manuscript, and annotated by Mr. M. Kanai, will be separately published by the Institute of Asian Studies as one of its published Monographs. Mr. Kanai wishes to acknowledge the cooperation rendered him while gathering microfilm materials, by Professor John Whitney Hall of Yale University, Mrs. Moyra L. Baker, former staff secretary at Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, and Mrs. MAP. Meilink-Roelofsz, Keeper of the General State Archives, The Hague. Credit and thanks are due to Mr. -

Child Welfare Initiative Falkd Item 5 "Media Coverage"
Child Welfare Initiative Falkd Item 5 "Media coverage" Media coverage 5:1) 17-MAY-2003 12:36 John Searight (searighj) Here is the latest commentary from the press, one an article in the NYT and the other an editorial in the Ashbury Park Press. The DYFS crisis Published in the Asbury Park Press 5/04/03 An Asbury Park Press editorial The shocking revelations last week of children in foster care being beaten and sexually molested, even after the abuse became known to New Jersey's child welfare agency, leave the McGreevey administration no choice. The state must agree to independent, outside monitoring of the Division of Youth and Family Services. It must settle the lawsuit brought by a child advocacy agency by overhauling DYFS, far beyond what the $20 million the governor has added to his budget will pay for. When children are removed from abusive situations, only to end up in a worse kind of hell, DYFS has failed in its basic duty. There can be no more excuses. Too few foster homes and DYFS workers are chronic problems that have led to unconscionable abuse that can't be dismissed by the agency saying: "We didn't know." Too often, DYFS did know -- and did nothing. Children's Rights Inc., the New York-based group suing DYFS, wants New Jersey to do a better job of recruiting foster parents and supervising foster homes. Those are tall orders, but clearly other states have done better at it than New Jersey. To settle the suit, the state should agree to greater public scrutiny of -- and more accountability from -- DYFS. -
