Brandeis School of Law Professor Justin Walker's article arguing against an independent FBI has been quoted in an online criminal justice publication.

The Crime Report is a multimedia news source based out of the John Jay College for Criminal Justice. 

A March 12, 2018, article heavily quotes Walker's paper "FBI Independence as a Threat to Civil Liberties: An Analogy to Civilian Control of the Military." That paper was published in the George Washington Law Review.

"... this Article argues that calls for an independent FBI are misguided and dangerous. It analogizes presidential control of the FBI to civilian control of the military by demonstrating that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the FBI and the military share the same purpose," states Walker's abstract.

Walker's research for the article was supported by the Dean's Faculty. Development Fund.
