Three species of insects collected from an adult human corpse above 3300 m in elevation: a review of a case from Colorado

We report on the colonization of an adult human corpse by three insect species at 3350 m (11,000 ft) in elevation. The adult silphid Thanatophilus coloradensis (Wickham), adults of the blow fly Calliphora coloradensis (Hough), and larvae and adults of Lucilia silvarum (Meigen) were all collected from the victim's body which had been wrapped in plastic. The victim was found in late June in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This paper provides additional confirmation of the taxa utilizing a human corpse at high elevations in Colorado.     

Suicide with associated acts of arson: two cases from Colorado

We report on two cases of suicide in which the victims started fires before their deaths. In one case the victim died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after setting several fires in his residence. In the second case the victim hung himself after setting several fires in his residence and an adjoining building. In both cases, the victim's position was not near the origin of the fires suggesting that the arson was not a failsafe device to the primary mechanism of suicide. Neither victim showed a significant percentage of carboxyhemoglobin, or thermal damage from the fires. Both cases are remarkable in that, had the fire caused more damage to the remains and dwellings, a finding of suicide may not have been reached. We discuss similar aspects between the two reported cases and discuss differences observed with similar events such as complex suicide, suicide by self-immolation, and concealed homicide by burning. Similar cases should be reported to broaden our understanding of these complex events.     

中国的劳工调查与研究

中国的劳工调查与研究逐步从"官府"扩展到学术界和民间。涉及的问题,集中在两个方面。一是国有企业改革中的职工问题。一些研究预设,由此而产生激烈的劳资对抗和社会冲突。实际的社会后果却没有像预设的那样出现,有一些研究对此进行了比较有解释力的分析。二是农民向工人转化中的社会问题。一些研究认为,欧洲早期资本主义的剥削和冲突现象在中国复活了。而另一些研究则分析了问题产生的特殊性,讨论了通过合作的方式解决这些问题的可能性。     

论“两抢”犯罪的特点及侦防对策

"两抢"案件系在街面、公共复杂场所以及偏僻路段实施抢夺、抢劫的案件."两抢"犯罪具有团伙作案多、作案时间短、手段多、防范难、逃窜快、不易侦破等特点.对此,文章详尽地阐述了公安机关应整合力量,建立打击"两抢"犯罪的网络体系,组建打击"两抢"犯罪专业队伍,控制销赃渠道,加强装备,引入竞争、奖励机制,采取和强化横向协作、宣传群众等侦查对策和预防对策.     

论新时期经济犯罪案件初查工作

初查不是刑事诉讼的必经程序,但在经济犯罪侦查中,它不仅是甄别证据、定性立案的首要前提,更是提高破案效率,打击经济犯罪的关键环节。在公安队伍全面贯彻“执法为民”的执法宗旨的条件下,深入研究经济犯罪案件的初查工作尤为重要。初查有实地调查和书面审查两种方式及若干要求和注意事项。     

计算机犯罪侦查中存在的问题及对策

公安机关在侦办计算机犯罪案件的过程中,存在着侦查办案模式陈旧、基础工作薄弱、计算机证据规则不完备、专门侦查手段的研发水平低、有效警力不足等问题,严重影响了打击和预防此类犯罪的效果。今后应及时更新侦查观念,加强侦查基础工作建设,实现"从人到案"侦查模式的转变,增强工作的实效性。     

票据犯罪侦查若干问题研究

票据犯罪侦查是经济犯罪侦查的一种,其侦查对象具有特殊性、侦查工作易受干扰性和侦查途径具有独特性。票据犯罪侦查的关键也因不同的票据犯罪类型而不同。侦查程序与一般经济犯罪侦查程序基本一致。因票据犯罪的多样性,票据犯罪的侦查途径也具有多种,主要是围绕票据与票款的流向进行侦查。     

穿行于规则和规范之间——侦查技术理论引论

侦查技术是技术的-种特殊类型,是按照相应的技术规则而进行的调查事实、收集证据、查获犯罪嫌疑人的一类行为.不同于蕴涵了一定价值成分的法律规范,侦查技术的直接根据是技术规则,这种技术规则的有效性基础是自然定律,这为法律规范确认侦查技术的合法性提供了客观性基础.     

浅析犯罪情报意识的内涵及表现

犯罪情报意识是社会意识在犯罪情报工作中的表现。在宏观上,犯罪情报意识指的是参与犯罪情报工作的所有主体对犯罪情报的概念和社会功能的总体认识,在现阶段表现为认识到侦查工作是围绕犯罪情报展开的,情报主导侦查工作。在微观上,则是从事犯罪情报工作的个体对犯罪情报的重视和敏锐的感知能力以及严格按照犯罪情报的特性和犯罪情报工作规范处理犯罪情报的自觉性。
