Maartje van der Woude is a PhD-student in the Department of criminal law and criminology of the University of Leyden, the Netherlands. She received both her law degree (2002) and her MSc (2005) at Leyden, specializing in (criminal) law enforcement and safety policies, in particular counterterrorism. Besides teaching various courses, she is currently working on her dissertation with the (working) title “Anti-terrorism legislation in a Culture of Control: An investigation into the Development of the Discourse.” In her research, Maartje focuses on the discrepancy between social/political discourse and legal discourse of counterterrorism. Counter-terrorism legislation shows a tension between the social/political discourse, in which collective security occupies center stage, and the (criminal) legal discourse, where individual legal protection is considered to have the highest value. The prevailing impression of criminal justice scholars is that typical values of criminal law are subordinated to risk control. This research focuses on a comparison of the two discourses in order to establish (a) on which points there is agreement or agreement can be reached, (b) on which points no agreement is possible, so that the legislator must make choices, (c) how – and in which terms – he should substantiate such choices so that they fit in with the present-day culture of control. While in Berkeley, Maartje is working on two chapters of her dissertation as well as on two articles relating to her dissertation.  Her office is in 471A Boalt, tel. 643-9286, email mahvanderwoude@gmail.com.

David Glick is a fourth year PhD Candidate in the Politics Department at Princeton University focusing on Public Law and American Politics. His dissertation investigates the important role that private organizations play in shaping legal impact by analyzing empirically how they actually learn about the law and decide which concrete internal polices (if any) to enact in the implementation process. He treats these organizations as actors trying to make difficult policy decisions in response to complex and ambiguous laws by building on more general theories of decision making in complex tasks, and finds that legal changes are often turned into concrete policy by organizations which learn from and copy each other's responses to it. He is also the author of the working paper, "Strategic Retreat and the 1935 Gold Clause Cases." David was an undergraduate at Williams College. His office is 470 Boalt, 642-0437, dglick@Princeton.edu.

David Glick is a fourth year PhD Candidate in the Politics Department at Princeton University focusing on Public Law and American Politics. His dissertation investigates the important role that private organizations play in shaping legal impact by analyzing empirically how they actually learn about the law and decide which concrete internal polices (if any) to enact in the implementation process. He treats these organizations as actors trying to make difficult policy decisions in response to complex and ambiguous laws by building on more general theories of decision making in complex tasks, and finds that legal changes are often turned into concrete policy by organizations which learn from and copy each other's responses to it. He is also the author of the working paper, "Strategic Retreat and the 1935 Gold Clause Cases." David was an undergraduate at Williams College.
