| In the Spotlight | Read in-depth coverage of Northwestern work and research. |  From 'Good Morning America' The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first pill designed to alleviate postpartum depression. Feinberg’s Sheehan Fisher speaks to "Good Morning America" about the condition, which has gained attention following reality television star Leroy Garrett's revelation about his experience with paternal postpartum depression. Fisher examines various indicators of postpartum depression, including feelings of despair, guilt, worthlessness, fatigue and suicidal ideation. |  From the Chicago Tribune Six months after the abolition of cash bail in Illinois, counties adapt to longer hearings and non-monetary release decisions, prompting calls for increased funding for public defense. Northwestern Law's Stephanie Kollmann highlights the strain the Pretrial Fairness Act places on public defenders, exacerbated by disproportionate budget allocation in Cook County that favors the state’s attorney’s office. |  From CNN A recent study co-authored by Weinberg’s Elisa Jácome finds that immigrants have had lower incarceration rates compared to native-born individuals for the past 150 years, and, relative to those born in the U.S., immigrants’ incarceration rates have declined since 1960. Jácome examined various factors such as location, education level and changes in the immigration system. The research distinguished between immigrants who hold citizenship and those who do not and observed similar trends, with newer immigrants being less prone to incarceration than native-born individuals. |
| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Kevin Boyle, The New York Times “No verdict in the Manhattan Trump case can undo the disillusionment with the system of justice that followed [former president Gerald] Ford’s pardon of [former president Richard] Nixon. But the trial can, in its imperfect way, right the wrong of half a century ago, when the system last had its chance to prove that even the most powerful man in America is subject to its laws — especially when that man is so eager to take advantage of the politics of law and order,” Weinberg’s Kevin Boyle writes in The New York Times. |  From Andrew Koppelman, The Hill “With respect to women facing pregnancy-related medical emergencies, the elected representatives of the people have already spoken. Congress mandates that women must not suffer permanent bodily damage because they are forced to prolong their doomed pregnancies. The court is literally trying not to hear that,” Northwestern Law’s Andrew Koppelman writes in The Hill. |
