试论知识产权犯罪被害机理研究方法

传统被害研究范式认为,犯罪之因和被害之果是一种有序的联系,在因果之间完全可以用逻辑推理作为沟通桥梁。但逻辑不是万能的,在刑事法领域中,刑事疑难问题单纯凭借对法规则的逻辑适用并不能得到令人满意的解决,还应当正式引入实证研究方法从被害人和被告人两个角度进行经验层面的研究。     

Fingerprint analysis for the determination of hand origin (right/left) using the axis slant in whorl patterns

Fingerprints are frequently encountered during both civil and criminal investigations. Fingerprints possess numerous characteristics that assist with personal identification. Determining the hand of origin (right or left) for an individual fingerprint would help reduce investigation time and potentially eliminate certain suspects. In this study, we collected a total of 2 900 single digit fingerprints from 290 individuals, and the whorl axis slant was examined in the 743 whorl pattern fingerprints (385 from the right hand and 358 from the left hand). A slant towards the right side was present in 81.82% of samples from the right hand, while a slant towards the left side was observed in 80.73% of samples from the left hand. After applying a chi-square test to the dataset, the results were found to be statistically significant for the determination of hand origin. Our results suggest that the whorl axis slant in a fingerprint is indicative of hand origin (right or left).

Key points

• Single digit fingerprints with whorl pattern were analyzed.
• Whorl “axis slant” was used to determine the hand origin.
• Right axis slant would indicate the right hand of the print.
• Left axis slant would indicate the left hand of the print.

     

公共危险犯的未完成形态

公共危险形成之前,可能构成公共危险犯的预备.公共危险形成后,严重后果产生之前,可以看成只是产生了一种作为未遂的危险.因此,行为人及时采取措施防止危险避免实害的,成立犯罪中止.对于放火罪,形成独立燃烧状态,只是表明未遂危险的形成,在严重灾害发生之前,仍有成立犯罪中止的可能.     

宪政维度中的刑讯逼供与罪刑法定

罪刑法定原则是刑法的根本原则之一,而刑讯逼供在我国是一个在司法中久禁不止,且甚为普遍的现象.刑讯逼供罪具有独特的多重当事人结构,与宪政视野的罪刑法定原则相契合.罪刑法定原则的设置源于宪政意义上的限制权力、保障人权的考虑.

谈室外现场勘查中发现和确定足迹的重要性

在室外现场中发现和确定嫌疑足迹往往对案件的侦破起到关键的作用,其发现的重点部位为犯罪现场中心部位、犯罪嫌疑人蹬、踩的物品、进出中心现场的路线、犯罪嫌疑人藏身的地点等。在实际工作中应根据足迹遗留部位、足迹新鲜程度、反映出的行走规律特点以及足迹与其它痕迹的关系判断和确定嫌疑人足迹。

Farmers,factories and funds: organised crime and illicit drugs cultivation within the British Vietnamese community

This article explores the growth of organised crime within the Vietnamese community with particular reference to the cultivation of cannabis, money laundering and the smuggling or trafficking of children. The article begins by exploring the history and diversity of the ‘Vietnamese community’ in the United Kingdom and the role of Vietnamese culture in shaping their criminal enterprises. It then draws on research involving two sets of qualitative data: one set is based on 45 interviews with law enforcement personnel based in Vietnam and the United Kingdom as well as with key stakeholders in the Vietnamese community; the other set is based on structured questionnaires issued to 34 Vietnamese residents in Britain, 24 of whom are here illegally. It examines the relationship between illegal immigration of Vietnamese citizens to Britain and the urban cultivation of cannabis, in what has become known as ‘cannabis factories’, and the laundering of the profits abroad to Vietnam. After exposing the logistics of Vietnamese illegal immigration into Britain, the article concludes that those involved in cannabis cultivation, money laundering and people smuggling are primarily motivated by profit rather than ‘lifestyle’ concerns, and operate within what theorists of organised crime refer to as the ‘mono-ethnic criminal network’.
