Published in American Criminal Law Review with Jamelia Morgan on disability criminalization

It is really the honour of a lifetime to be published in the American Criminal Law Review with the incomparable Jamelia Morgan at the Center for Racial and Disability Justice! I cannot think about the type of advocate and person I'd be without Professor Morgan's work - it would be impossible to - so working on this project with her has been transformative. More than anything, this Article is dedicated to a world where people in mental health crises are met with the compassion, care, and tenderness they deserve, and never death at the hands of police. And to a world where racial and disability justice are central to the way we treat each other and to the world we continue to build.

This Article provides a short primer on disability criminalization. It defines the concept before turning to key sites where disability criminalization occurs. The Article concludes with a discussion of Critical Disability Studies and how that discipline may be used by advocates as a vehicle for contesting disability criminalization."
