Merging legality with illegality in Paraguay: the cluster of order in Pedro Juan Caballero

Paraguay is often described as a territory of drug trafficking, smuggling and commercial piracy. However, the country remains understudied by academics researching criminality and illegal markets. Pedro Juan Caballero, a city located on the northern border with Brazil, is an interesting case study to illustrate how legality and illegality merge in Paraguay to create hybrid social orders. The daily life in the city, one of the best places in the world for cultivating marijuana, unfolds between the higher homicides rates and some of the lowest levels of common criminality in Paraguay. Far from being a matter of state weakness, the expansion and tolerance of illegal activities is framed within a cluster of order that combines both rational legal practices and neo-­patrimonial norms. The presence and roles of state institutions are re-signified, generating alternative hierarchies, practices and values to supply social, political and economic outcomes. Through in-depth interviews with key informants, ethnography visits and analyses of aggregated data, this paper describes the hybrid order of Pedro Juan Caballero by tallying the incentives that encourage social and institutional tolerance of illegality and describes how illegal practices create access to goods, services, protection and expectations not provided by the legal framework.     

Analysis of the Effects and Relationship of Perceived Handwritten Signature's Size,Graphical Complexity,and Legibility with Dynamic Parameters for Forged and Genuine Samples

This article presents an analysis of handwritten signature dynamics belonging to two authentication groups, namely genuine and forged signature samples. Genuine signatures are initially classified based on their relative size, graphical complexity, and legibility as perceived by human examiners. A pool of dynamic features is then extracted for each signature sample in the two groups. A two‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carried out to investigate the effects and the relationship between the perceived classifications and the authentication groups. Homogeneity of variance was ensured through Bartlett's test prior to ANOVA testing. The results demonstrated that among all the investigated dynamic features, pen pressure is the most distinctive which is significantly different for the two authentication groups as well as for the different perceived classifications. In addition, all the relationships investigated, namely authenticity group versus size, graphical complexity, and legibility, were found to be positive for pen pressure.     

关于违法“追缴赃款赃物及退赃”的法律分析

公安机关违法追缴赃款赃物及退赃的现象源于对赃款、赃物的曲解,源于公安机关在刑事诉讼中对其职权不够清楚,另外,还源于<刑事诉讼法>本身的不足以及公安民警的一些错误的传统思维和办案习惯.杜绝公安机关执法中的违法现象,有多种积极的措施,即应努力转变观念,弥补和完善有关法律法规,严格执法等.     

A Set of Handwriting Features for Use in Automated Writer Identification,

A writer's biometric identity can be characterized through the distribution of physical feature measurements (“writer's profile”); a graph‐based system that facilitates the quantification of these features is described. To accomplish this quantification, handwriting is segmented into basic graphical forms (“graphemes”), which are “skeletonized” to yield the graphical topology of the handwritten segment. The graph‐based matching algorithm compares the graphemes first by their graphical topology and then by their geometric features. Graphs derived from known writers can be compared against graphs extracted from unknown writings. The process is computationally intensive and relies heavily upon statistical pattern recognition algorithms. This article focuses on the quantification of these physical features and the construction of the associated pattern recognition methods for using the features to discriminate among writers. The graph‐based system described in this article has been implemented in a highly accurate and approximately language‐independent biometric recognition system of writers of cursive documents.     

关于应对阻碍警察执法行为的思考

应对阻碍警察执法行为,公安机关应当充分利用现有的立法维护公安机关和警察的执法权威,协调检察院、法院追究阻碍警察执法行为人的妨害公务刑事责任、行政责任和民事责任。维护公安民警正当执法权益委员会应当履行监督、指导、咨询、代理等职责,对阻碍警察的执法行为及时应对,营造正常的执法环境。     

恶搞现象之法律透视

恶搞成了2006年中国最流行的词汇。从法律的角度审视,恶搞是公民行使言论自由这一宪法权利的一种具体形式,国家应当保障公民以恶搞这种方式充分行使言论自由权;同时,公民不得以恶搞的方式损害国家的、社会的、集体的利益和其他公民的合法的自由和权利。恶搞作品不是著作权法规定的演绎作品,而是滑稽模仿作品,它不侵犯被恶搞者的著作权。     

Disrupting Conventional Law Firm Business Models using Document Assembly

Document assembly software is a technology that is fundamentalto disrupting law firms. This article uses the framework setout by Clayton Christensen in The Innovator’s Dilemmaand subsequent books to examine the range of business modelsthat use document assembly software, from those that are sustainingin relation to law firms to those that are disruptive in relationto law firms. It looks at three barriers that slow down thepace of disruption: a shortage of the right people, rules againstunauthorised practice, and inadequate capitalisation of lawfirms. These barriers will be overcome on a piecemeal basisas disruptive forces advance and undercut the billable hour.     

侵犯商业秘密罪的实行行为探析

在侵犯商业秘密罪的实行行为中,构成"不正当手段"要求该行为在主观上违背权利人的意愿,客观上具有不正当性;披露的公开化程度不影响该罪的成立;在间接侵犯商业秘密的情况下,其"获取"和"使用"行为与直接侵犯商业秘密情况下的"获取"和"使用"行为存在着差异。     

非法证据的有限排除主义之惑——对《非法证据排除规定》五大理论问题之解读

《关于办理刑事案件排除非法证据若干问题的规定》在对非法证据尤其是非法言词证据的界定、非法证据的证据能力之排除及证明责任的分配、证明标准的设计方面具有开创性的意义。但从该文本在非法实物证据及其排除方面的阙如、对非法言词证据排除在程序设计上的不彻底性等几个方面来看,它所设定的仍是一种对非法证据有保留地排除制度,遵循的其实是非法证据的有限排除主义,因而有进一步完善的必要。
