This has been a result of more expansive law enforcement efforts, stiffer drug sentencing laws, and post-conviction barriers to reentry that uniquely affect women. In response, the consideration of a gender-specific approach to studying criminal justice policy has moved from a mere footnote to a full-fledged reform movement. GROWTH OF WOMEN UNDER CORRECTIONAL SUPERVISION • More than one million women are currently under the supervision of the criminal justice system in the U.S. 1 • More than 200,000 of these women are confined in state and federal prisons or local jails. 2 • Expanding at 4.6% annually between 1995 and 2005, women now account for 7% of the population in state and federal prisons. 3 1 This figure includes an estimated 956,200 women on probation and 93,000 on parole in 2005.

Primary threats to the disclosure of proprietary information include deliberate actions of current and former employees, as well as loss of trade secrets in the context of joint ventures or other business arrangements. Because China continues to be an important trading partner and its domestic market has tremendous consumer potential, many companies remain in China. With this in mind, what are the best practices firms should undertake to protect their trade secrets in China to prevent competitors from gaining an unfair advantage? Based on an analysis of Chinese trade secrets law, practical recommendations are offered herein. Although there is no way for employers to 'bullet proof' the workplace from a loss of know-how, carefully crafted policies consistent with current trends in Chinese law will advance arguments in support of trade secret protection.

Part II discusses the labor-related trading objectives mandated by the U.S. Congress in the TPA, including the relationship of those objectives to core international labor standards promulgated by the International Labor Organization ("ILO"). Part III then analyzes the labor provisions that are included in CAFTA. To the extent that these provisions do not fulfill the labor objectives set forth in the TPA and do not adequately promote core international labor standards, Part IV proposes provisions that the United States should include in future trade agreements.

The foundation for this movement rests on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Universal Declaration) adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1948. 6 Fundamental to the Universal Declaration is Article 25, which states that "[e]veryone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family." 7 Two additional articles specifically articulate certain conditions of work as fundamental human rights: 3 See generally Elinor Ostrom, Collective Action and the Evolution of Social Norms, J. ECON. PERSP., Summer 2000, at 137 (discussing how multiple types of individuals, with varying degrees of willingness to initiate reciprocity, can achieve the benefits of collective action). 4 See JUST BUSINESS, supra note 2.
