| L to r: Kimberly Del Frate and Dr. Cory R. Lepage with Kimberly's poster. |
Kimberly Del Frate, Justice major and a member of the University Honors College, participated in the 2014 UAA Honors College Undergraduate Research & Discovery Symposium held April 14 - 17. Her research from her honors thesis, "The Arizona Issue: Racial Profiling and Civil Rights in Immigration Law Enforcement," was displayed at the poster fair in the UAA/APU Consortium Library.
The presentation was based on her honors thesis. Dr. Cory R. Lepage was her thesis advisor, and Prof. Jason Brandeis, J.D., was her thesis reader. Her paper examined the questions in
constitutionality and civil rights concerns that arise with enforcement
of Arizona's SB 1070 - Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe
Neighborhoods Act - also known as the "Show Your Papers" law. A major
focus of her work was whether or not implementation of the SB1070
constitutes racial profiling by law enforcement, and whether or not such laws could ever be enforced constitutionally.
