Child “Prostitution”: Legal and Policy Frameworks: Examining the Criminalization of Child Victims
Get PDFThis paper aims to illuminate how existing laws in the juvenile justice system exacerbate the victimization of children, hinder access to justice, and perpetuate cycles of harm, ultimately advocating for reforms that prioritize victim-centered approaches and address the root causes of exploitation. This paper examines several case studies and hopes to provide insight into the importance of reform of the juvenile justice system while also prompting up-to-date research
Intersection between Incarceration and Reproductive Health:Lack of Access for Incarcerated Pregnant Women in the United States
Get PDFSince the 1980s, the number of women and girls within the criminal justice system has increased drastically, reaching over 200,000 women and girls in 2015. Although this number has slowly declined in recent years, the female incarcerated population remains relatively high compared to fifty years ago. In this paper, I investigate a population in the criminal justice system that is highly overlooked in research, incarcerated pregnant women. I highlight how incarceration influences their access to reproductive health services during their pregnancy. Through the examination of existing research publications and commentaries on the incarceration of women and reproductive health, I highlight their experiences with prenatal care, abortions, and shackling, to underscore how incarceration shapes the experiences of pregnant women in United States prisons, jails, and other correctional facilities. Additionally, my paper will highlight the gaps in the existing literature on incarceration and reproductive health, and encourage more intersectional approaches to understanding the realities of incarcerated women.

Selecting Balls From Urns With Partial Replacement Rules
Get PDFConsider an urn with an initial state of R red balls and W white balls. Draw a ball from the urn, uniformly at random, and note its color. If the ball is white, do not replace it; if the ball is red, do replace it. Define this sampling rule to be "Preferential". We study the random variable X denoting the number of white balls drawn under the Preferential sampling rule for a sample size n. It is known that the expected number of X is bounded below by 3nW/(4N), and bounded above by nW/N. In this paper we improve the lower bound, give a heuristic for the best possible lower bound, and we explore some properties of a generalization of this sampling rule, we call "Super-Preferential", where the probability of retaining a white ball is w and the probability of retaining a red ball is r

An Opportunity for Experiential Learning: Time for a reckoning in higher education
No full textThe rise of artificial intelligence (generative and otherwise), the societal impacts of technology, as well as the coming economic disruptions to the labor market all point to an impending transformation for higher education. A rethinking and re-valuing of how, what, and where learning happens are due. Within this, an opportunity exists for experiential learning to move from periphery to the core in higher ed
