Public security versus privacy in technology law: A balancing act?

Technology invades a person's privacy but this has been justified in law on public security grounds. The more technology advances, the more difficult it is to control its privacy intrusive use. This paper argues that there are a number of difficulties posed by such use concerning the respect of one's privacy. The meaning of ‘public security’ is not entirely clear and there are various laws which authorise the invasion of privacy for public security reasons. Technology is developing at such a fast pace and in a more diffused manner without taking on board its privacy implications whilst technological privacy enhancement mechanisms are not catching up. The law of privacy is not sufficiently elaborate and is slow in coming to terms to deal with these novel situations posed by rapid technological advances. The paper thus develops universally legally binding minimum core principles that could be applied indiscriminately to all privacy intrusive technology.

经济犯罪死刑废除问题之探讨

目前.我国不宜彻底废除死刑,但对经济犯罪的死刑适用应区别对待.在我国对经济犯罪所设置的死刑罪名中.除五种犯罪适用死刑具有正当性外.大多数经济犯罪都不适用死刑.理由是经济犯罪适用死刑不符合罪责刑相适应原则;不能有效地遏制经济犯罪;死刑刺激部分经济犯罪嫌疑人携款外逃.使国有资产流失.建议调整经济犯罪的刑罚体系,改革自由刑,增设资格刑,加重财产刑.
