Special Problems for Prosecutors in Public Corruption Prosecutions
Get PDFThe focus of this panel is not so much on the academic part of McDonnell, the case law. Of course, you’ll hear the name McDonnell and we’ll talk about that.
But we’re trying to talk a little more broadly about public corruption prosecutions in general. Some of these are unique issues. You heard a little bit about them from the former people who have done them, what special unique problems are involved in them and challenges the prosecutors face and what effect, if any
President Trump’s Unilateral Attempt to Cease All Implementation of the Paris Agreement and to Withdraw from It: Constitutional?
Get PDFIn his announcement, President Trump stated that he would comply with the withdrawal provision in the Paris Agreement. This Essay argues that, while compliance with that process may satisfy the treaty obligation, it probably does not conform to U.S. constitutional standards, and therefore, would not be binding on the United States. The argument demonstrating the failure of the President to satisfy constitutional standards proceeds as follows. Part I develops the context in which the Paris Agreement arose. Part II briefly summarizes the Paris Agreement. In Part III, I argue that President Trump’s attempt to cease implementation of the Paris Agreement and, in effect, withdraw from the treaty, does not meet U.S. standards required by the Constitution, specifically Article II, § 2, Clause 2.6 Finally, in Part IV, I consider the question posed in the title of this Essay and conclude that the answer is probably “no.” In addition, I discuss the destabilization to global governance that would result if the answer were “yes
Parental Efficacy, Stigma, and Help-Seeking for Children with Mental Health Issues
No full textThere is a significant gap between the number of children with mental health needs and the number of children who receive mental health services in the United States. Generally, parents and caregivers regulate children\u27s access to mental health services. Therefore, in order to understand the underutilization of child mental health services, research has focused on what factors facilitate and/or prevent caregivers from seeking out mental health treatment for their children. In this study, parental efficacy and anticipated stigma related to mental illness were examined as they relate to parents\u27 willingness to seek mental health treatment for their children. A total of 231 parents, 18 years of age and older and living in the United States, were recruited online to complete an online survey that included measures assessing the participant\u27s mental health, social support, stress, perceived anticipated public stigma and self-stigma of seeking mental health treatment for children, parental efficacy, as well as a vignette depicting a child with an internalizing problem (anxiety). Parents were asked to imagine that the described child was one of his or her own children and then asked about help-seeking intentions. Results revealed that parental efficacy predicted greater intentions to seek advice from someone other than a mental health professional. Anticipated self-stigma related to mental illness predicted lower intentions to seek professional mental health treatment and lower feelings of urgency to seek help for the child. Moreover, the indirect association of anticipated self-stigma related to mental illness with intentions to seek advice from a non-mental health professional through the mechanism of parental efficacy was negative and significant. And, the indirect association of anticipated public stigma related to mental illness with intentions to seek advice from a non-mental health professional through the mechanism of parental efficacy was also significant, but not in the expected direction, as it was positive. Findings from this study can assist in understanding parents\u27 decisions regarding seeking mental health services for their children, as well as in designing appropriate interventions for increasing the number of children receiving mental health services.
