Bush took a historic opportunity to fill Supreme Court justice vacancies with ideologically right-of-center nominees. He explains that these justices will force the court to write opinions that break new ground in judicial activism. The areas that will be open to new adjudication include abortion rights, access to the courts, affirmative action, and presidential war powers. He describes the critical cases in each of these fields and the key points of contention. Professor Chemerinsky concludes that the incoming president may be able to offset the appointments of Justices Alito and Roberts with more centrist or center-left appointments if seats become open. John Yoo argues that presidents have historically resisted Supreme Court decisions especially strong presidents such as Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Reagan changed this calculus by politicizing the courts further through the appointment of ideological allies. He maintains that the second Bush administration has not transcended constitutional limits in its actions. He supports his case by arguing that previous presidents have taken exceptional actions in times of war and that the “war on terror†has given the administration a mandate for its policies. He concludes that Bush administration is in much more conflict with the Congress than with the Court. The accompanying audio files provide the complete recording of the two talks.

Design/methodology/approach This is rapid response research involving qualitative methods primarily online semi-structured interviewing with a sample of police domestic abuse leads in England and Wales. Findings The findings point to increased use of virtual platforms particularly for MARACs and that this has beneficial consequences both for the police and in their view also for victim-survivors. Research limitations/implications The findings reported here are from policing domestic abuse leads. More work needs to be done to explore the value of engaging in virtual MARACs for all the agencies concerned but also whether MARACs continue to be the best way to ensure the victim-survivor is kept in view. Practical implications The use of virtual platforms carries a range of practice implications for the future of MARACs for the foreseeable future. These range from ensuring attendance of the appropriate agencies to the range and frequency of meetings, to infrastructural support for all agencies to engage. Originality/value This is an original study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council examining police and court responses to domestic abuse during the covid-19 pandemic.

Travelling stories: connecting people and landscape, 2017

This paper will introduce a recently-funded project that seeks to demonstrate how the built and archaeological landscapes visible today were formed by the enforced labour of convicts, a transformative act that was simultaneously designed to achieve the penological and economic goals of the administrators. Focussing on the convict-period legacy of the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania’s south east, a multi-disciplinary team of archaeologists, historians and interpreters will utilise a comprehensive documentary archive and an extensive and complex archaeological landscape to examine how changing ideologies of convict management affected the processes and outcomes of convict labour. These landscapes were formed and developed as a result of a complex interplay of multi-scalar influences, many of which have been captured within the documentary record. In particular, we will discuss how landscape and convict lifecourse intertwined to create what has today become iconic convict landscapes that can tell us about the processes and products of convict labour.
