In this episode, Maybell Romero, Assistant Professor of Law at the Northern Illinois University College of Law discusses her draft article "Prosecutors and Police: An Unholy Union." Romero begins by observing that prosecutors are beginning to unionize and join with police unions, which promises to create issues for accountability and criminal justice reform. She describes the history of police unions and the relationship between police and prosecutors. Among other things, she notes that police unions are different than other kinds of unions, and often serve to protect abusive police officers and practices. She observes that the move among prosecutors to unionize seems to be driven by the rise of "progressive" or "reformist" prosecutors. And she argues that this move could make criminal justice reform more difficult. Romero is on Twitter at @MaybellRomero.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Maybell Romero on Prosecutor Unions & Criminal Justice Reform

In this episode, Maybell Romero, Assistant Professor at the Northern Illinois University College of Law, discusses her article "Profit-Driven Prosecution and the Competitive Bidding Process," which was published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. Romero begins by observing that many municipalities have privatized criminal prosecution, contracting out the job of prosecutor to the lowest bidder. She explains how this creates incentives to generate revenue, rather than do justice. She also reflects on how it might discourage women and minorities from pursuing jobs as prosecutors. And she makes suggestions about institutional changes that would address this problem.
