  • Shifting Law Enforcement Goals to Reduce Mass Incarceration
    SHIFTING LAW ENFORCEMENT GOALS TO REDUCE MASS INCARCERATION SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to Constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution — part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group, part communications hub — the Brennan Center seeks meaningful, measurable change in the systems by which our nation is governed. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Brennan Center extends special thanks to Marguerite Casey Foundation, Public Welfare Foundation, and William B. Wiener, Jr. Foundation for their generous support of this conference. The Center also gratefully acknowledges the Democracy Alliance Partners, Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Rockefeller Family Fund, and Vital Projects Fund for their support of the Justice Program. SHIFTING LAW ENFORCEMENT GOALS TO REDUCE MASS INCARCERATION WELCOME LETTER Over the past two decades, our nation has seen a dramatic drop in crime, an enormous success. But at the same time, we see new and growing consensus that we incarcerate too many people, with too many economic and social costs. We represent 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of its prison population. That can — and must — change. Americans rightly are tough on crime. There is no substitute for safe streets.

  • Interest-Convergence Policing
    02_CRUSTO.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/19/19 12:13 PM RIGHT TO LIFE: INTEREST-CONVERGENCE POLICING Mitchell F. Crusto* ABSTRACT In the United States, police officers fatally shoot over one thousand people every year. A surprising few of these incidents are fully investigated. In fact, very few police officers are criminally prosecuted for, and are rarely found guilty of, homicide resulting from the unjustified use of lethal force. This Article contends that the lack of criminal prosecutions results mainly from leading United States Supreme Court decisions that establish the criminal liability standard for police use of lethal force. Ultimately, this standard discourages a full investigation of such incidents. While unintended, this produces negative consequences, including injustice for the victims and their families, danger and fear for future victims, and increased danger to police officers. Using empiricism and normative principles, this Article seeks to re-direct the doctrinal approach for assessing the legality of police use of lethal force in non-custodial situations. Through a case study, it analyzes how some police officers used lethal force in an unjustified manner and initially got away with homicide. It posits that a constitutional right to life principle requires the lowering of the criminal liability standard for assessing police shootings. And it proposes federal legislation mandating the * Henry F. Bonura, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law, Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, J.D., Yale 1981, M.A., Oxford 1985.

Substitution of the United States as the Proper Defendant It is well-accepted the FTCA is the exclusive remedy for tort suits against the United States, and the FTCA thus operates as a limited waiver of sovereign immunity.5 1 R. Doc. 20. 2 R. Doc. 23. 3 R. Doc. 7-1. 4 Id. at 2.
