Background levels of body fluids and DNA on the shaft of the penis and associated underpants in the absence of sexual activity

This study examines the background of blood, saliva, semen and autosomal DNA on penile swabs and underpants from males in the absence of recent sexual activity. Based on the data collected by the AFSP Body Fluid Forum, the results of this study show that; there is a very low expectation of detecting blood on penile swabs and male underpants; a low expectation of detecting saliva on penile swabs and male underpants; and spermatozoa would be expected in less than a quarter of penile swabs and three quarters of male underpants. As none of the samples had detectable levels of DNA which were suitable for meaningful comparison that did not match the donor or their partner, the expectation of detecting a DNA profile from the cellular background on penile swabs or underpants from a male who has not been involved in recent sexual intercourse is very low. The results of this study are extremely informative when evaluating the significance of blood, saliva, semen and DNA detected on the penile swabs and underpants of males in cases of alleged sexual assault.     

“网络舆论审判”中的符号暴力及其风险治理北大核心SSCI

“网络舆论审判”作为国家机器缺场下的网络互动行为,在法理、司法程序、舆论传播等研究方向引起了学界广泛关注,但该现象身后潜藏的社会性生产机制尚待进一步探究。符号暴力的“动力/工具机制”用来剖析“网络舆论审判”体现了很好的恰适性:一方面,传统道德规范在维序社会结构稳定、编织社会成员行动逻辑的同时,同样可能在网络议题中以符号暴力的形式,指导民众在自我规训下投入“网络舆论审判”的建构与再生产;另一方面,凭托于网络社会之扁平化、脱域性等空间特性,“网络舆论审判”可能在信息技术的符号化实践中流变为僭越法理、消解权威的失范行为展演。针对“网络舆论审判”于政治制度、空间秩序以及社会心态等领域所展现的风险特征,亟须将其纳入国家社会治理体系进行多维度的制度规范引导与文化矫正干预。
