About Elizabeth
Rapaport’s current research is on the burgeoning geriatric population in U.S. prisons. The geriatric prison population is but one symptom of a grave social crisis we face: mass incarceration. Her research interests include women and crime, capital punishment, executive clemency, legal issues arising out of the War on Terrorism, and U.S. and international law on torture. As a professor at the University of New Mexico’s Law School, she regularly teaches courses on Criminal Law, Constitutional Criminal Procedure, International Criminal Law, Legal Ethics, and Jurisprudence.
