A general theory of crime and computer crime: An empirical test

Computer crime has become a global issue and continues to rapidly grow; however, few studies had examined the applicability of a general theory of crime in explaining computer deviance. Using a panel of 2,751 Korean youths, the current study examined whether low self-control theory can be useful as a theoretical framework for explaining computer crime. The results indicated the applicability of low self-control theory in explaining both illegal download of software and illegal use of others’ personal identification online. Consistent with the theory's prediction, opportunity variables, especially hours of computer use, were found to be significant predictors of computer crime. The shortcomings of the current research and the directions for future research were discussed.     

刑法上计算机犯罪概念之提出

罪刑法定的本体溯求与启蒙

在一个刑事司法权仍然被以各式各样的借口加以扩张的法制氛围中,人们往往会对隐藏在这个现象之后的深层原因做一些深入的思辨,以破解心中的疑惑。本文意在探究罪刑法定原则在我国刑法中的角色,以揭示罪刑法定原则被束之高阁的根源,从而为罪刑法定主义在中国刑法中的理性张扬寻找进路。 罪刑法定原则从其诞生之日起,就是刑法工具主义价值观的天然劲敌。伴随着人类为争取自身权利而不断斗争的漫长过程,人们日益认识到问题的严重性棗在这个权力的资源和傲慢都继续扩张的危险世纪,要漠视或贬低一些基本的制约刑罚权的手段无疑是一种自以为聪明的不计后果的错误。因此,作为维护革命果实的手段,罪刑法定原则所要求的“法无名文规定不为罪,法无名文规定不惩罚”的刑法理

罪刑法定视域中的刑法适用解释

The judicial interpretation of criminal law should be an application interpretation to individual cases that is guided by judges and participated by the prosecutor and the accused, for which the judicial judgment should be combined with the application of criminal law of specific cases, and the criminal precedents should be as a carrier. The Supreme People’s Court should change from the previous practices of issuing normative and abstract interpretation to the dual approaches of the interpretation of criminal law application through direct creation and indirect acknowledgement.

Depressed but not legally mentally impaired

This article examines the mental impairment (insanity) defense in the Australian state of Victoria and argues that the defense is successful only when offenders suffer from psychotic mental illnesses. This raises the question about how non-psychotic offenders are dealt with by the courts when they claim ‘mental impairment’ for serious acts of violence such as homicide, particularly when a relatively large number of perpetrators involved in homicide suffer from non-psychotic illnesses like depression. The analysis shows that depressive illnesses do not reach the threshold for mental impairment (legal insanity) such that they mitigate violent criminal behavior, although they can, arguably, diminish culpability. This article draws upon existing literature, qualitative analysis of two court cases and semi-structured interviews with four legal representatives to make its conclusions.     

论高等教育行政管理中的依法行政

高等教育行政管理是高等教育管理的重要组成部分,在高等教育管理中具有主导性和决定性作用。法治原则是全部国家制度和社会制度的基础,作为一种观念和实践反映在教育管理上,就是把学校组织纳入法律调节的范围,因此实现高等教育行政管理的依法行政是提高高等教育管理效率与质量的关键所在。     

Taking crime out of crime business

It is one thing to assert that conventional market analysis is critically useful in understanding criminal enterprise. It is more challenging to suggest that corrupt and compromised legal regulation interacts with other critical market variables to maximise market advantage for crime business in a similar manner to legitimate regulatory forces in their protection and enhancement of legitimate business enterprise. The central argument of this paper is that crime business mirrors other business forms when considered in terms of critical market variables, and that in particular regulatory forces when inverted from their original purposes can influence market conditions in the same ways desired from the legitimate regulatory form. The main research direction deriving from the analysis of regulatory influences over specific criminal enterprises is how do certain critical market forces essentially facilitate criminal enterprise as a market phenomenon. This paper suggests how through comparatively analysing nominated critical market forces in the context of lucrative and recurrent criminal enterprises, common business decision-making may be predicted and thereby controlled beyond a law enforcement paradigm. In fact, the paper argues that when perverted law enforcement regulation operates as an inter-connecting market characteristic then it can have a similar influence over illegitimate enterprise that law enforcement may provide legitimate business.By establishing a richer and more enterprise-oriented understanding of crucial market variables, it becomes possible to refine control strategies at critical entry and exit points in the operation of clandestine crime businesses. The paper will challenge a comparative theorising of what makes crime business a good business, and how normative distinctions between illegitimate markets are made less convincing when positioned against an analysis of the interaction of critical market variables.
