Since globalization is not only restricted to economic and political relationships, but literally 'hits home', it has become indispensable to look beyond national boundaries and to take international developments into account in the field of family law. Hence, comparative family law is blooming. The core part of this contribution to the special issue on 'Current Debates in Family Law around the Globe' is aimed at framing the context of comparative family law. The main questions are: How is comparative family law perceived by the academic community and practitioners alike? What should it entail? In the attempt to find answers to these questions, several comparative family law projects, which have been carried out both in Europe and in the United States, have been compared. Whereas family law experts in Europe decidedly contribute to the comparative law methodology debate, similar discussions seemingly do not take place in the United States. It has been examined why this may be the case.

It is difficult to get witnesses of brutal crimes to step up and act. This article argues that every state, including Arkansas, would be well served by implementing laws that would require individuals to notify law enforcement officials when they witness certain offenses. First, the note discusses the common law history of the no-duty-to-aid principle, as well as duty-to-assist laws in other jurisdictions and current Arkansas reporting statutes. Next, the note examines the need for a specific duty-to-report in Arkansas. Then, a duty-to-report statute is proposed for consideration by the Arkansas Legislature. Thereafter, the note addresses imposition of both civil and criminal liability for violating a statute like the one proposed, along with potential problems regarding the proposed statute's enforceability. Finally, the note concludes by discussing the likelihood of such a statute being enacted in Arkansas. In conclusion, the note asserts that it would be worthwhile for Arkansas to enact a duty-to-report statute because of the policy implications and benefits derived from witnesses reporting crimes.
