Other stuff to look at

Here's some interesting stuff to look at that's not here:

• Overcriminalized (Heritage Foundation)
• The Truth About False Confessions
• Sex Crimes
• FourthAmendment.com

Also, see the Dallas Observer's feature this week about how privatizing Texas Child Protective Services short-changed kids in state foster care, many of whom are children of incarcerated parents.

And Bruce Schneier brings news of US Customs' notice to create a database with individual risk assessments for every US traveler and truck crossing the border.

UPDATE: An assistant DA from Amarillo responded to this Grits post about Texas prosecutors seeking life for multiple DWIs. Read the interesting comments there and add your thoughts - I'm curious what readers think about the prosecutors' stance.
