SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:Immigration: The Politics of Inclusion and the Politics of Threat
DESCRIPTION:Immigration: The Politics of Inclusion and the Politics of Threat was a one-day research workshop that took place at Social Science Research Council headquarters in Brooklyn\, New York on March 29\, 2019. \nThe workshop gathered scholars to address the politics of immigration\, with a particular focus on how and why Latin American immigration is politicized (sometimes as virtue and increasingly as threat) in the United States in the contemporary period. Scholars were organized into panels on three themes: Parties\, Voter Linkages\, and Immigration Politics; Framing Immigrants; and Policies of the State. \n  \nPanels and Participants \nParties\, Voter Linkages\, and Immigration Politics\nWhat is the partisan/electoral basis of xenophobic and restrictive policies – within the US and at the border?  To what degree is this stable/changing and why?  What explains when and why parties promote inclusive/exclusive platforms and policies towards immigrants? To what degree are state/local level parties replicating/breaking from national party platforms?   How have immigrants in the US reacted/responded to the country’s changing party dynamics? What explains variations in reaction? \nChair\nNancy Bermeo\, Senior Research Fellow\, Nuffield College\, University of Oxford \nDiscussant\nKatherine Cramer\, Professor of Political Science\, University of Wisconsin\, Madison \nPresenters\nMatt Barreto\, Professor of Political Science and Chicana/o Studies\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nJames McCann\, Professor of Political Science\, Purdue University\nMelissa Michelson\, Professor of Political Science\, Menlo College\nVeronica Terriquez\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Riverside \n  \nFraming Immigrants\nWhat explains the contours of public opinion towards immigrants (undocumented\, daca-mented\, documented)?  To what degree does public opinion distinguish between a) un/documented immigrants and b) between Latin American immigrants and Latinos?  How do immigrants respond to the anxieties of the receiving society—how do they respond to xenophobia?  Are there differences by legal status\, by region\, by national origin group? \nChair\nMichael Jones-Correa\, President’s Distinguished Professor of Political Science\, University of Pennsylvania \nDiscussant\nSara Wallace Goodman\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, University of California\, Irvine \nPresenters\nAbigail Fisher Williamson\, Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Policy and Law\, Trinity College\nShannon Gleeson\, Associate Professor of Labor Relations\, Law & History\, Cornell University\nSofya Aptekar\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, University of Massachusetts\, Boston\nCecilia Menjívar\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nMatthew Wright\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, American University \n  \nPolicies of the State\nPolicies towards immigrants range from the inclusionary (extending social welfare) to the punitive (criminalizing and penalizing undocumented workers).  What explains the range of policies and laws that are adopted and what are the consequences for the immigrant community (documented and undocumented)?  What impact have these policies had on immigration and immigrants? \nChair\nDeborah Yashar\, Professor of Politics and International Affairs\, Princeton University \nDiscussant\nMarie Gottschalk\, Professor of Political Science\, University of Pennsylvania \nPresenters\nAmada Armenta\, Assistant Professor of Urban Planning\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nDavid Cortez\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of Notre Dame\nRoberto G.
