Abstract

This paper assesses some of the self-report and empirical evidence regarding the risk that rapists of adults present to children. Etiological theory is reviewed. An empirically-derived classificatory scheme is presented to show the relative risk presented by various rapist types. Self-report andphallometric data from both rapists and normals are presented to show that there is strong evidence of multiple paraphilic interest in both populations. Reports from four treatment centres support these data. Several methods of assessing risk to adults and children are presented. It is concluded that a significant, and probably underestimated proportion of rapists (and possibly some normals), present a risk of sexual violence toward children.

中国人类学研究50年回顾

人类学在中国已经走过了近一个世纪的历程.前半世纪是人类学从西方传入中国,开始起步发展和传播的时期,在"抗战"前后达到中国人类学研究的第一个峰值;后半世纪中国人类学经历了坎坷曲折的发展过程,在文化大革命期间跌落至谷底,本世纪80年代,中国人类学研究重获新生,并于90年代后期在中国学术界的影响与日俱增.经历了大起大落之后,中国人类学在面向21世纪之时,在新的起点上正逐渐走向规范化、体系化及本土化,并以崭新的姿态准备充实现代国际人类学的理论和方法、为中国人类学研究做出相应的贡献.回顾和反思这一历程将有助于我们进一步深刻地认识中国人类学的历史地位、社会价值及总结经验教训,为中国人类学在新世纪的发展提供借鉴和建设性的参考意见.     

Patent auctions: business and investment strategy in IP commercialization

Legal context. This article concerns patent sale and licensing,asset deals connected with M&A and intangible asset transactions. Key points. Patent owners might find patent auctions a fastway to sell or license their patents. There is a high probabilitythat bidders will purchase or license low- or no- value patentsbecause patent auctions set a very tight time frame for bidders’due diligence. The nature of the patent right creates a bigimbalance in terms of knowledge between owner of the patentand the purchaser or licensee; the latter party can only minimizethe risk of purchasing or licensing a "zero" or low value patentby receiving sufficient time to investigate the patents. IPauctions may however be a better and safer means of purchasingor licensing domain names or trade marks, due to their legalnature. Practical significance. Many companies might believe that patentauction is a swift and effective way to find a purchaser ora licensee for their IP rights. Even so, it is imperative thatthe bidders themselves conduct a proper due diligence of thepatents offered, corresponding to their needs and to their assessmentof their true financial and business value.
