Different Enforcement and Disparate Impacts of Gun Laws

Описание: Different Enforcement and Disparate Impacts of Gun Laws

UCLA Law's Criminal Justice Law Review, Criminal Justice Program, and The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence hosted the 2022 Symposium entitled "Guns Everywhere: Individual Rights and Communal Harms after NYSRPA v. Bruen" on October 20-21, 2022. In light of the arguments raised by public defenders as amici in Bruen, this panel discussed racial disparities in the enforcement of gun laws, how this contributes to the inequities of mass incarceration, and the social science evidence demonstrating the disproportionately high burden borne by children and communities of color as a result of gun violence. This panel also explored what policies can help address this disproportionate gun violence without enhancing the burdens that mass incarceration imposes on the same communities. Moderator Ingrid Eagly is the Faculty Director of the Criminal Justice Program and Professor at UCLA School of Law. Panelists are Melissa Barragan, Assistant Professor at CalPoly-Pomona; Sarah Britto, Assistant Professor at Cal State Dominguez Hills; David Olson, Professor at Loyola University Chicago; and Sharone Mitchell Jr., Chief Public Defender at the Office of the Cook County Public Defender.
