Yes, both do. JCrop has an aspectRatio option. You specify a decimal, or a ratio (16 / 9 for wide, or 1.0 for square). See
http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop_Manual.html#Setting_Options jQuery UI Resizables has a similar option (same key - aspectRatio). If specified as a boolean/true it will maintain the original aspect ratio. Or you can specify it as a number. Also if the aspectRatio option is not set, you can hold the shift-key down while resizing and a square ratio will be enforced.
