Dealing with Wayward Desire

The exercise of synchronic self-control is the way in which an actor can attempt to bring a desire into alignment with his better judgement at the moment and during the interval of time over which, but for the exercise of such self-control, the desire would become the actor’s preponderant desire, which the actor would then translate into an act contrary to his better judgment. The moral psychology of an actor who fails to achieve such self-control can be analyzed in two ways. One way is meant to be consistent with compatibilist metaphysics; the other with libertarian metaphysics. The implications of these analyses for the criminal law are complicated, but perhaps the most important is this: the criminal law should in principle recognize a partial excuse for an actor who exercises synchronic self-control but who gives up his effort because he believes that he can no longer continue to resist. His effort to achieve self-control thus fails, and he ends up translating into action the very desire he set out to control.

BUNDLES OF JOY: THE UBIQUITY AND EFFICIENCY OF BUNDLES IN NEW TECHNOLOGY MARKETS

This paper examines the economic logic underlying bundles andtie-in sales and uses the lessons learned from that examinationto analyze seven specific instances of bundling that have beenthe subject of antitrust scrutiny or other policy initiatives.Of particular interest are products that are nonrivalrous inconsumption, making all-you-can-eat pricing a viable candidatefor efficiency. The main economic points are the following:À-la-carte pricing may populate economic models, butmost products are bundles. They are bundles because bundlesare generally more efficient. Tie-in sales are much less commonand often not properly understood in textbook discussions. Marketforeclosure, the principal efficiency concern with tying andbundling, is likely to be exceedingly rare. The seven instancesof bundling (ties) examined in the paper are: cable television;patent pools; blanket licenses; iPods and iTunes; telephones;music albums and songs; operating systems and component programs.     

Observation of tri-allelic patterns in autosomal STRs during routine casework

We report three cases of tri-allelic patterns observed during routine forensic casework on 5964 Belgian residents. These individuals had been typed for the following 15 autosomal STRs: CSF1PO, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, vWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, D2S1338 and D19S433.The first example of a tri-allelic pattern had the genotype 13;15;16 for the D8S1179 locus. In the second observation there was 16;21;22 pattern for the D18S51 locus. The third case had the alleles 10;11;13 also for D18S51.All cases belonged to the Type I tri-allelic pattern, with three uneven peaks, the sum of the heights of both smaller peaks equalling the height of the tallest peak.Three cases in 5964 typed individuals is a frequency for tri-allelic patterns in autosomal STRs of 0.05%.     

Sexual assault cases related to unknown perpetrator: Almost 50% of the analyzed cases corresponded to serial offenders

As a collaborative effort in solving sexual assault cases where there is no suspect, the DNA profiles associated with 273 cases were analyzed. Such cases were submitted from different Criminal Investigation Units belonging to eight judicial departments of Buenos Aires Province. A single NN male profile was recovered from the evidences by differential lysis with DNA IQ System (Promega) and typing with IdentiFiler kit. Comparative analysis of the compiled DNA profiles showed that in 45% of the cases the evidence DNA profile matched in at least two unrelated cases. Associations between groups of unsolved cases provided a valuable tool in aiding law enforcement investigations.

Selected aspects of chemico-toxicological analysis of the tranquillizer drug fluoxetine are described. Optimal conditions for fluoxetin extraction from internal organs and biological fluids (blood, urine) are specified and methods proposed for its detection and quantitation including TLC, UV SPM, and HPLC. The proposed methods were verified using laboratory animals and materials for expert examination.     

Sex trafficking: an exploratory study interviewing traffickers

This paper presents the research methodology of an exploratory study interviewing human traffickers. Utilizing open-ended, semi-structured qualitative interviews with traffickers, exploratory research was conducted in 2003. With an overall goal of understanding the human trafficking phenomenon from the standpoint of those individuals who support, reproduce, and actively work to sustain it, our research questions focused on how traffickers make sense of their position within the illegal market of sex trafficking. Other thematic questions included characteristics and personal dimensions of the traffickers, reasons they entered the business, their perceptions of the business, and their opinions of those they traffic. For the purpose of this paper, we will address the difficulty and simplicity of conducting interviews with human traffickers. Information about the research project in general, methods used, ethical considerations, and thematic scope will also be addressed with a final discussion section highlighting advantages and disadvantages of methods used.
