Digital Realism and the Governance of Spam as Cybercrime

Spamming is a major threat to the formation of public trust in the Internet and discourages broader civil participation in the emerging information society. To the individual, spams are usually little more than a nuisance, but collectively they expose Internet users to a panoply of new risks while threatening the communications and commercial infrastructure. Spamming also raises important questions of criminological interest. On the one hand it is an example of a pure cybercrime – a harmful behaviour mediated by the Internet that is the subject of criminal law, while on the other hand, it is a behaviour that has in practice been most effectively contained technologically by the manipulation of ‘code’ – but at what cost? Because there is not an agreed meaning as to what constitutes ‘online order’ that renders it simply and uncritically reducible to a set of formulae and algorithms that can be subsequently imposed (surreptitiously) by technological processes. The imposition of order online, as it is offline, needs to be subject to critical discussion and also checks and balances that have their origins in the authority of law. This article deconstructs and analyses spamming behaviour, before exploring the boundaries between law and code (technology) as governance in order to inform and stimulate the debate over the embedding of cybercrime prevention policy within the code itself.

加强公安科技队伍建设是落实科技强警战略的当务之急

公安科技队伍是公安队伍的重要组成部分,在落实科技强警战略、促进公安工作发展中起着举足轻重的作用。当前,公安科技队伍的建设现状还不能满足公安工作的现实要求。公安科技队伍中,人才数量不足、管理政策不明、整体素质不高、创新能力不强仍是制约公安科技发展的"瓶颈"因素。因此,要着力解决好以下问题:一是公安科技队伍的内涵界定与科学分类;二是公安科技队伍的现状及影响因素分析;三是公安科技人员的基本管理制度建设;四是公安科技队伍的评价激励机制设计;五是公安科技队伍的发展战略与对策研究。

坠落平板玻璃裂纹特征研究

现代生活中,平板玻璃越来越多地被应用到建筑物中,在刑事案件中经常能够提取到经犯罪分子破坏的玻璃碎块,所以对玻璃碎裂痕迹的研究对于侦查破案具有极其重要的意义。文中以平板玻璃坠落后的裂纹痕迹作为研究对象,通过制作实验样本,对裂纹的形成过程、形成原因以及物理模型进行分析研究,得出平板玻璃落地后裂纹中放射纹上的弓形纹向上汇聚、切向裂纹上的弓形纹向下汇聚,放射纹作用点分布位置在离地面较高一侧。     

Bringing the battlefield into the classroom: using video games to teach and assess international humanitarian law

The graphic and widespread atrocities committed during conflicts around the world and broadcast across 24/7 news and social media have made war never feel so close and the powerlessness of law seem so real. This raises difficulties in engaging students in real-life decision-making quandaries where military necessity meets legalism, as well as fundamental ethical questions about the use of realistic, yet explicit, imagery in the classroom. The School of Law at Queen’s University Belfast has developed a series of innovative computer scenarios based on the Arma 3 open world tactical war simulator. A variety of formative scenarios (addressing issues such as cluster munitions and landmines) were developed to familiarise the students with the factual scenario and the computer technology. Subsequently, students engaged in a summative assessment to test their legal understanding in the face of increasingly challenging conflict situations, in particular grey zones where legal argument can justify seemingly morally wrongful acts during war. This paper examines both the learning objectives of this project, and the project development cycle – from the initial proposal to its implementation in class, as well as positing the benefits and drawbacks in integrating technology and games into the legal teaching environment, reflecting on the emerging and traditional pedagogy in this area.
