2001年知识产权法学研究的回顾与展望

一、瞻前与顾后:关于2001年 黄仁宇在<万历十五年>一书中开篇即称:"公元1587年,在中国为明万历十五年,……在历史上,万历十五年实为平平淡淡的一年."其后却成一鸿论,即黄氏所谓之"大"历史观.四百余年后的公元2001年,却似乎于中国不是平平淡淡的一年:成功申办2008年奥运会、加入世界贸易组织(WTO)、与美英等国共同参加人类基因组测序工作、Internet使得中国与世界同此凉热…….经济、技术、文化等各个方面的一体化发展已将几乎所有的国家和地区都卷入了这一世界潮流,中国亦莫能例外.由此也给法律带来了相应的新问题,其中尤于知识产权法律为甚.问题是,我们能不能用"大"历史观来看待今天的变化呢?

Criminal solicitation,entrapment, and the enforcement of law

This paper examines the optimal use of criminal solicitation as a law enforcement strategy. The benefits are greater deterrence of crime (due to the greater likelihood of apprehension), and the savings in social harm as some offenders are diverted away from committing actual crimes through solicitation. The costs are the expense of hiring undercover cops and the greater likelihood of punishment. The optimal use of solicitation balances these factors. The paper also examines the justification for the entrapment defense, which exonerates those caught in a criminal solicitation but who otherwise had no predisposition to commit a crime.     

Criminal law

The close temporal coincidence of International Human Rights Day 2010 (10 December 2010) and the tenth anniversary of the Human Rights Act 1998 (2 October 2010) stimulates some reflections on the progressive scope and influence of this domestic statute of towering importance. In addition, it seems especially appropriate to examine how Article 2 of the European Convention, which protects the individual’s right to life and is a cornerstone of this treaty, has featured in the jurisprudence of both the European Court and domestic courts. This article considers the celebrated Conjoined Twins case, together with other challenging issues which have confronted the courts – termination of pregnancy, medical prolongation of life, assisted suicide and so-called ‘mercy killing’.     

Criminal law

The law of evidence in Nigeria has never denied the competence of a child to give evidence. The repealed Evidence Act had provisions for how the evidence of a child can be obtained, but did not define or provide a guide as to who is considered a child. As a result, the courts relied on other statutes for illumination as to who a child is. This paper examines the new Evidence Act as it relates to the evidence of a child, particularly the broadening of the scope of child evidence in Nigeria. This paper will conclude that there is marked improvement.     

Organizational change in law enforcement

A major problem in identifying and understanding change in law enforcement organizations is in specifying the object of intended change and the process by which change is to be implemented. The study focuses on organizational-structural change in police organizations and examines factors which have influenced the implementation of saturation patrol units, covert surveillance units, and regionalized detective bureaus. The results indicate that factors such as domain consensus, dependence and influence relationships, and perceptions of threat affect both the acceptance and use of these organizational changes.     

Technological innovation in law enforcement

Using data from two studies an analysis was made of producers' involvement in marketing new law enforcement equipment and of how law enforcement organizations came to adopt/reject these products. In general, the new product system in law enforcement was seen as involving 1) producers using technologies developed in other sectors to make “new” products for law enforcement users who 2) tend to not actively search for new products but wait to be made aware of new product developments and who 3) tend to engage in limited testing procedures.     

Joining anthropology and law enforcement

The role of anthropology in law enforcement involves three aspects of law enforcement activity; forensic anthropology, police-community relations research, and legal ethnographic research on the law enforcement agencies themselves. The first of these contributions to law enforcement by physical anthropologists faces competition from other closely related fields. Police-community relations research is a potential growth area for the application of anthropological efforts, as is legal ethnographic analysis of police organizationa. These latter two areas are within the realm of social anthropology, while the former is a specialty of physical anthropology. This article reviews the contributions of anthropologists and the applications of anthropological methods to law enforcement. It contends that criminal justice educators and police practitioners alike can benefit from knowing more about how these anthropological specialties have contributed and can continue to contribute to law enforcement.
