Slogans are appropriate, even useful, for rallies or marches. In-depth thought is what should be expected from law schools. The Fall 2020 issue of Marquette Lawyer<\/em> magazine offers a weighty serving of the latter, while examining implications of the former.<\/p>\n

With the overall title of \u201cThe Crime and Society Issue,\u201d the new magazine\u2019s cover package features three pieces focusing on assessing and potentially improving the criminal justice system, from the time of an arrest through the charging and court processes, and ways of sanctioning people who commit crimes. Each piece features expertise and insight presented at Eckstein Hall events by scholars from coast to coast.<\/p>\n

The lead story starts with some of the controversial ideas heard during 2020, such as \u201cdefund the police,\u201d and explores ways the justice system could be improved when it comes to the overall safety and stability of urban communities. \u201cThe Case for Careful but Big Change\u201d focuses in large part on the ideas of Paul Butler, the Albert Brick Professor in Law at Georgetown University, particularly as he presented them in Marquette Law School\u2019s annual Boden Lecture and in an \u201cOn the Issues with Mike Gousha\u201d program (last academic year, before the COVID-19 pandemic halted in-person programs at Eckstein Hall).<\/p>\n

Butler\u2019s advocacy for refocusing the work of police and criminal courts so that people are helped more and punished less is in line with the work of Patrick Sharkey, a Princeton sociology professor, who has taken part in several Marquette Law School programs, as long ago as 2016 and as recently as July 2020. Sharkey\u2019s research and observations on ways to reduce violence are also described in the article.<\/p>\n

The piece also draws on presentations at Marquette Law School by Robert J. Sampson, a social sciences professor at Harvard; Rachel E. Barkow, a professor at New York University Law School; Bruce Western, a sociology professor at Columbia University; and Gabriel (Jack) Chin, a professor of law at the University of California, Davis. It also includes conclusions from Raj Chetty, a Harvard professor of economics who spoke at Marquette University. To read this article, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The second part of the cover package offers excerpts from presentations at an academic symposium at Eckstein Hall organized by the Law School\u2019s Professor Michael O\u2019Hear. The symposium examined issues involving violent crime and recidivism, looking particularly at whether there are alternatives to long-term incarceration. The 17 excerpts in the magazine offer a wide range of perspectives, but generally suggest that people leaving prison can establish solid lives if given effective support.

The third part of the package is an edited text of Marquette Law School\u2019s Barrock Lecture on Criminal Law, presented last fall by Darryl K. Brown, O.M. Vicars Professor and Baron F. Black Research Professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. \u201cCan Prosecutors Temper the Criminal Code by Bringing Factually Baseless Charges and Charging Nonexistent Crimes?\u201d gives tempered support for such practices, based on the reasons they occur.
