Diffusion in Homicide: Exploring a General Method for Detecting Spatial Diffusion Processes

This article proposes a new method for examining dynamic changes in thespatial distribution of a phenomenon. Recently introduced exploratoryspatial data analysis (ESDA) techniques provide social scientists with anew set of tools for distinguishing between random and nonrandom spatialpatterns of events (Anselin, 1998). Existing ESDA measures, however, arestatic and do not permit comparisons of distributions of events in the samespace but across different time periods. One ESDA method—the Moranscatterplot—has special heuristic value because it visually displayslocal spatial relationships between each spatial unit and its neighbors. Weextend this static cross-sectional view of the spatial distribution ofevents to consider dynamic features of changes over time in spatialdependencies. The method distinguishes between contagious diffusion betweenadjoining units and hierarchical diffusion that spreads broadly throughcommonly shared influences. We apply the method to homicide data, lookingfor evidence of spatial diffusion of youth-gang homicides acrossneighborhoods in a city. Contagious diffusion between neighboring censustracts is evident only during the year of peak growth in total homicides,when high local rates of youth-gang homicides are followed by significantincreases in neighboring youth- nongang rates. This pattern is consistentwith a spread of homicides from gang youth to nongang youth. Otherwise, theincreases in both youth-gang and youth- nongang homicides generally occursimultaneously in nonneighboring tracts.     

Provoking Polemic – Provoked Killings and the Ethical Paradoxes of the Postmodern Feminist Condition

The argument that the provocation defence is adeeply sexed excuse for murder and should beabolished is often dismissed as polemical. Thisarticle challenges this subordinating strategyfavoured by the law of provocation's apologistsand continues to make the case againstprovocation. Drawing on a range of theoreticalapproaches to questions related to polemic,anger, and ethics, it strives to valorisefeminist and queer anger about provocation'svictim-blaming narratives, while remainingcognisant of poststructuralistproblematisations of both law and law reform.     

试论网络思潮的预测和引导

网络已成为社会舆论的重要发源地、社会思潮的重要传播载体。加强对社会思潮的预测与引导,用社会主义核心价值体系的先进内容占领网络阵地,是我们当前必须思考和解决的一个重大而紧迫的课题。本文分析了网络思潮的内涵与特点,论述了预测和引导网络思潮的重要性,针对网络思潮所呈现出的不同特点,从对网络思潮的深入挖掘、超前预测、多元化分析、实时监控等方面,探讨了预测和引导网络思潮的有效途径。     

西方国家议会立法改革趋势之探析——兼论政府在立法中的功能角色

20世纪以来在法律和政治理论上处于优越地位的西方国家议会，都已呈现出一种共同趋势，即作为立法机关的地位实际下降了。而政府在很大程度上主导、直至支配着立法。为应对此种变化，当代西方国家议会趋于在统一掌握立法最终审议权和控制权的前提下，广泛采用各种更灵活的立法形式。且越来越重视其民主监督功能的发挥，以期一方面强化政府立法的民主保障，加强对政府立法的监督和控制，以协调其立法民主与行政效率的动态统一；另一方面改革和完善议会制度。以实质性地强化其立法审议和立法监督能力。     

Motives in a Triple Spree Homicide

Juries, criminologists, prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and the lay public like to know the motive for a murder—especially when there are unusual features such as multiple victims, extensive injuries, or unexplainable acts to the bodies. However, many times the motive is not readily available from the murderer because he does not confess or he does not consciously know why he killed. The following case describes the analysis of multiple motives in a triple spree homicide committed in a very short time frame. Robbery was the primary motive for the first victim and sexual homicide was the motive for the second and third victims.     

国外系列杀人案件研究概述

近年来，国外系列杀人案件逐渐增多，一些外国学者因之对其概念、发生率、动机及类型进行了大量的研究，并提出了一些解释和观点。在系列杀人案件中，男性系列杀人犯、女性系列杀人犯及小组系列杀人犯均有其自身的特征，这些都是不容忽视的。     

简论黑社会性质犯罪

黑社会犯罪是有组织犯罪发展的高级阶段，黑社会性质犯罪就是黑社会犯罪，它不过是黑社会犯罪的初级形态和初级发展阶段。我国刑法中明确了“黑社会性质犯罪”这个概念，是根据我国现阶段黑社会犯罪的特点确定的。目前我国存在的黑社会性质犯罪组织主要通过七种基本方式形成。如今黑社会性质犯罪呈现出几大发展趋势正向黑社会的高级形态发展；加速向经济、政治领域渗透以及国际化趋势。     

Firearm Deaths by Law Enforcement

Abstract:  The use of deadly force during law enforcement is a matter that compels public scrutiny. There were 42 gunshot deaths caused by police over a 4-year period in New York City. The decedents' average age was 31 years and ranged from 17 to 64 years. There were 41 males and one female; and 26 Black, nine Hispanic, and seven White decedents. Ethanol and/or drugs of abuse were detected in 78% (31/40) of the decedents. The vast majority of shootings occurred with the police responding to a crime and 90% of the decedents were armed (26 handguns, six knives, one axe, one metal pipe, and one toy gun). Vehicles were used as weapons in two incidents. A total of 177 bullets struck the 42 decedents. Fourteen decedents sustained single gunshot wounds (GSWs), and the remainder had multiple GSWs ranging from 2 to 21. In the majority of the cases in this study, the number of GSWs of the body was three or fewer. Thirteen decedents had at least one GSW of the back or buttocks, accounting for 25 of the total 177 wounds, and four of the 13 had GSWs of only the back. With the exception of the upper extremities, GSWs of all locations were more likely to penetrate than perforate. Although these deaths may be high profile, the certification is typically straightforward and the cause (i.e., GSW) and manner of death (homicide) are readily apparent. Although police shootings in which the decedent was unarmed and/or sustained numerous GSWs are widely reported by the lay press, these types of shootings were not typical in our study.     

雇凶杀人犯罪研究

雇凶杀人犯罪是指行为人为达到某种目的 ,以钱财、利益等为条件 ,雇请他人谋杀与行为人有着某种特殊关系的人的一种犯罪行为。雇主的心理动因主要源于自我保护和借刀杀人的需要 ,雇凶的心理动因主要源于强烈的侥幸心理和贪图钱财或某种利益的欲望。对雇凶杀人犯罪可从四个方面进行分类。雇凶杀人犯罪具有犯罪行为的预谋性、暴力性和内隐性等四个方面的特点。
