搜索与处理技术在公共信息监控管理中的设计与研究

目前,我国公共信息监控管理的实际情况不容乐观。为此,基于“元搜索”的公共信息安全搜索引擎的设计十分必要。同时,对于其研究内容、设计框架和流程、研究目标及设计应用中的关键问题进行了介绍。如将该搜索引擎应用到公共信息监控管理中,将解决公安机关网监部门对互联网网页信息采集能力不足的问题,提高网监部门对于特定信息全面掌握的能力。

‘Customary internet-ional law’: Creating a body of customary law for cyberspace. Part 2: Applying custom as law to the Internet infrastructure

The shift in socio-economic transactions from real space to cyberspace through the emergence of electronic communications and digital formats has led to a disjuncture between the law and practices relating to electronic transactions. The speed at which information technology has developed require a faster, more reactive and automatic response from the law that is not currently met by the existing law-making framework. This paper suggests the development of special rules to enable Internet custom to form legal norms to fulfill this objective. In Part 2 of this article, I will construct the customary rules to Internet law-making that are applicable to electronic transactions by adapting customary international law rules; apply the suggested rules for determining customary Internet norms and identify some existing practices that may amount to established norms on the Internet, specifically practices relating to the Internet Infrastructure and Electronic Contracting.     

互联网舆论的演变逻辑与作用机制——对几起网络公共事件的解读

近年来,网络公共事件多发和互联网舆论风暴引起了政府部门与学界的高度关注。本文着眼于2009年的三起互联网公共事件,分析了互联网公共事件从最初呈现到事件最终结局的演进过程,探讨了互联网舆论在公共事件进程中的演变逻辑及其对政府公权力形成实际影响的几个关键因素。     

网络涉警舆情的特征、影响与应对

在互联网时代,网络成为民众表达各种意见、态度以及诉求的平台和载体,网络舆情成为影响社会生活的重要因素。网络涉警舆情,对促进公安机关信息化、规范化建设和构建和谐警民关系发挥着重要作用,但网络涉警舆情传播的迅速广泛性、影响的强烈长久性和主体倾向性等特性也会给公安机关的工作带来许多负面影响。如何积极利用其正面影响、合理引导负面影响是公安机关需要思考和解决的重要现实问题。     

The ‘Butner Study’ Redux: A Report of the Incidence of Hands-on Child Victimization by Child Pornography Offenders

This study compared two groups of child pornography offenders participating in a voluntary treatment program: men whose known sexual offense history at the time of judicial sentencing involved the possession, receipt, or distribution of child abuse images, but did not include any “hands-on” sexual abuse; and men convicted of similar offenses who had documented histories of hands-on sexual offending against at least one child victim. The goal was to determine whether the former group of offenders were “merely” collectors of child pornography at little risk for engaging in hands-on sexual offenses, or if they were contact sex offenders whose criminal sexual behavior involving children, with the exception of Internet crimes, went undetected. Our findings show that the Internet offenders in our sample were significantly more likely than not to have sexually abused a child via a hands-on act. They also indicate that the offenders who abused children were likely to have offended against multiple victims, and that the incidence of “crossover” by gender and age is high.

Asian Male Domestic Violence Victims: Services Exclusive for Men

The main reasons abused men do not seek social services include their strong endorsement of social/cultural values and avoidance of gender role conflict. Through internet-based service connections, we did not find sources in Asia, Australia, or New Zealand that advertised programs exclusively for male victims of domestic violence (DV). Nine social services in Hong Kong and Singapore describe their work with men in DV situations, but the main focus is “men as perpetrators.” Targeting men as victims, 32 sources in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom describe services designed especially for male DV victims. Findings demonstrate that services for male victims must address such factors as secretiveness, cultural values, masculine identity, tolerance, shame, and loss of face.
