The Illegal Drug Industry,Violence and the Colombian Economy: A Department Level Analysis

Previous research on the Colombian illegal drug trade, which is generally qualitative in approach and focused on the national level, has concluded that the drug industry harms the economy. In order to test out this widespread claim, this article seeks to differentiate between the corrosive economic effects of Colombia's persistently high levels of generalised political violence and the specific consequences of the cocaine trade. It combines historical national level analysis with quantitative department analysis and identifies the economic effects of both paramilitary and guerrilla violence, thereby contributing to a closer examination of the impact of the drugs trade on the economy. The results reveal that paramilitary violence is related positively to exports but negatively to gross domestic product. Guerrilla violence, however, appears to harm exports but, surprisingly, not gross domestic product. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, coca cultivation does not have independent effects on exports or GDP, a conclusion which suggests that Colombia's economic problems stem more from political violence than from the drug trade in itself.     

对我国实施境外毒品替代种植的法律思考

中国政府要实施境外毒品原植物替代种植就必须充分利用国际法的适用空间,建立实施境外毒品原植物替代种植的广泛的国际法基础,以弥补中国政府对境外毒品原植物替代种植难以驾驭其经济投资风险、难以实现有效控制和管理的劣势,使境外毒品原植物替代种植计划的实施国际化、法律化,以便从根本上根除毒源的泛滥,最有效地减少毒品非法流入中国境内.     

广东地区制贩苯丙胺类毒品犯罪的回顾和前瞻

二十世纪九十年代中期以来,广东制贩冰毒、摇头丸等苯丙胺类毒品犯罪活动比较活跃,无论是缴获的苯丙胺类毒品数量,还是破获的苯丙胺类毒品案件数量,尤其是大案要案数量,广东始终在全国居于前列,是我国苯丙胺类毒品犯罪活动的高发地区。广东警方应充分认识到打击毒品犯罪的长期性和艰巨性,采取切实有力的措施,加强禁毒机构和专业队伍建设,加强禁毒基础工作,加强重点治理工作,严厉打击苯丙胺类毒品犯罪活动。     

War on Black Men: Arguments for the Legalization of Drugs

Abstract

The leadership of the black community is concerned with welfare, with equality, with unemployment, with discrimination, with racism, with the pay gap, and with dozens of other such traditional issues. Oh, yes, they are also apprehensive about the use of addictive drugs. But, as we speak, young male members of this community are being incarcerated at frightful rates, and, even worse, are killing each other to boot. One would think that this latter issue would occupy the interest of black leaders front and center. After all, there are few worse problems than being jailed or killed. The present paper is dedicated to making the case that the black leadership has its priorities all wrong; that if they were to exercise true leadership, they would see the jailing and murder of young black men as perhaps the greatest threat to their community; and, if so, they would fervently support the legalization of all drugs.     

唾液检材在毒品检测中的应用

近年来,毒品滥用问题日益突出,提高生物样品中毒品检测技术的性能是法庭毒物学研究的重点。相比于血液和尿液样品,唾液在的样品采集和毒品检测中具有诸多优势,因而逐渐受到重视。本文对近年来国内外唾液样本用于毒品检测方面的研究成果进行综述,介绍唾液毒品检测的发展情况以及相关的代谢动力学研究状况,旨在为相关研究和实践提供参考。     

The effects of common medications on volumetric phallometry

Abstract

Phallometry is a physiological measure of sexual response widely used for the assessment of paedophilia among sexual offenders. Although many medications decrease penile response sufficiently to interfere with sexual intercourse, it is unknown to what extent such medications might interfere with phallometric testing. In the current study, we utilized a naturalistic convenience sample of 1078 men who attended a clinic for assessment of sexual preferences, mostly related to sexual offence convictions. In the present analyses, we quantified the differences in penile response during phallometric assessment associated with taking a range of common medications. Participants on medication typically showed less penile output than participants not taking medications; however, differences were largely accounted for by age rather than by medication status. Though most medications were associated with decreases in penile responsivity during volumetric phallometric testing, such changes were small in absolute terms and appeared to be associated with ageing rather than with the medications themselves.     

唾液中滥用药物分析及其与血液中药物浓度的相关性

唾液是一种成分简单、易于采集的体液,某些药物在唾液中的浓度可以反映其血药浓度。本文分析了滥用药物进入唾液的机制和影响因素,综述了唾液中滥用药物分析时样品的采集、前处理和检测方法以及唾液与血液中药物浓度的相关性。认为唾液是临床和法医学方面很有价值的分析样品,用唾液中滥用药物浓度来推测血药浓度具有一定的法医学意义。     

不知是假毒品而帮人贩卖的行为定性——兼评司法解释关于贩卖假毒品之定性问题的非合理性

不知道是假毒品而当作毒品进行贩卖的,事实上不可能造成损害法益的结果,不具有实质违法性,属于不具有可罚性且不应作为犯罪处理的对象不能犯.不知道是假毒品而帮人贩卖的,行为人主观上没有以假毒品冒充真毒品骗取他人钱财的故意,客观上贩卖的也不是刑法规定的毒品,按照罪刑法定和主客观相统一的原则,不应以贩卖毒品罪（未遂）追究其刑事责任.     

Politics,Violence and Drugs in Kingston,Jamaica

The involvement of gangs, guns and ganja (marijuana) in Jamaica has, since independence in 1962, largely been confined to the capital, Kingston, and more specifically to the downtown, impoverished sections of the city known locally as the ghetto. This paper examines the characteristics of the ghetto; the context that it provides for political patronage among Kingston's most marginalised citizens; the evolution of certain downtown constituencies into garrison communities; and the separation between politics and drug violence that has marked the last twenty years, as Colombian cocaine has displaced locally‐produced ganja as the key drug to be consumed and traded.     

非法持有毒品罪若干问题研究

非法持有毒品罪是我国刑法规定的有关毒品犯罪的重要罪名。人们对非法‘特有”的内涵与外延、行为人认识错误的法律认定、非法持有毒品罪的数量标准、非法持有毒品罪的罪数形态、共同犯罪等问题研究的还不够深入。加强对这些问题的系统研究，可为司法实践提供一定的借鉴。
