Opposing world views, concepts of identity, ideas of community, are all at stake' (Jasper & Nelkin 1992, 7). It is based on a year of anthropological fieldwork with a group of animal rights activists.

  • Animal Rights in the British Broadsheet
    Animal Rights in the British Broadsheet Andrew Owen Animal Rights in the British Broadsheet by Andrew Owen Published May 15, 1996 Copyright © 1996 Andrew Owen Abstract This dissertation charts the rise of animal rights as a movement in modern British politics and examines how broadsheet newspapers have reported this issue over the last three years. By discovering the relationship between successful organisations and those who have gained media attention we can see how a group can harness the media to improve its fortunes. The British animal rights movement, which began in the 1970s, is based on the belief that animals, like humans, have inalienable rights that must be protected. Over the last 25 years the movement has steadily gained acceptance and its membership has increased accordingly. The number of groups has mushroomed and the variety of causes has diversified to the extent that there are now hundreds of animal rights groups in Britain with very different aims. Methods have also changed over the years and there has been a steady move away from the violence of groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). New words such as ‘speciesism’ and ‘eco-terrorism’ have arisen out of the movement. I will begin by looking at the historical origins of the movement. From this it is possible to see how it has come to its current prominence over the last five years. Since 1994 hardly a day has gone by without at least one broadsheet newspaper in Britain printing a story about animal rights. Then I will move on to examine the framework of pressure group politics in which these organisations work, and to look closely at the methods they use to achieve their goals.

  • Trial by Machine
    Trial by Machine ANDREA ROTH* This Article explores the rise of "machines" in criminal adjudication. Human witnesses now often give way to gadgets and interpretive soft­ ware, juries' complex judgments about moral blameworthiness give way to mechanical proxies for criminality, and judges' complex judgments give way to sentencing guidelines and actuarial instruments. Although mechanization holds much promise for enhancing objectivity and accu­ racy in criminal justice, that promise remains unrealized because of the uneven, unsystematic manner in which mechanized justice has been developed and deployed. The current landscape of mechanized proof, liability, and punishment suffers from predictable but underscrutinized automation pathologies: hidden subjectivities and errors in "black box" processes; distorted decision making through oversimplified-and often dramatically inaccurate-proxies for blameworthiness; the compromise of values protected by human safety valves, such as dignity, equity, and mercy; and even too little mechanization where machines might be a powerful debiasing tool but where little political incentive exists for their development or deployment. For example, the state promotes the objectiv­ ity of interpretive DNA software that typically renders match statistics more inculpatory, but lionizes the subjective human judgment of its fingerprint and toolmark analysts, whose grandiose claims of identity might be diluted by such software. Likewise, the state attacks the poly­ graph as an unreliable lie detector at trial, where results are typically offered only by defendants, but routinely wields them in probation revoca­ tion hearings, capitalizing in that context on their cultural status as "truth machines. " The Article ultimately proposes a systems approach­ "trial by cyborg" -that safeguards against automation pathologies while * Assistant Professor, UC Berkeley School of Law.
