Cybercrime: Towards an Assessment of its Nature and Impact

This paper discusses some approaches for a comprehensive analysis of cybercrime for both a better understanding of the phenomenon and policies to control it. We first discuss the nature of cybercrime, and review some of the related research issues. In view of its newness, we develop taxonomies for a more systematic classification of the different types of cybercrimes. Next, we explore some of the main empirical questions that need to be studied regarding cybercrime and describe some modeling approaches as well as the data requirements for a better understanding.     

The Influence of Emotional Labor and Emotional Intelligence on Job Performance: Does Ownership Type Matter? A Comparison of Public and Private Organizations in China

ABSTRACT

Given the limited knowledge about the effect of contextual factors of organizational ownership types on emotional labor, this research addresses two main questions: (1) whether emotional labor varies among organizations with different ownership types; and (2) whether emotional labor and emotional intelligence relate to job performance in different ways in public and private organizations. This paper examines the research questions with 306 self-report questionnaires from the public sector, domestic privately-owned enterprises and foreign-invested firms in China. Significant differences were found in the emotional labor reported in public and private organizations. Overall, emotional labor was found to have a significant effect on in-role performance, and emotional intelligence moderated the link between emotional labor and job performance in public organizations, but not in private organizations.     

An Exploratory Study of Emotional Intelligence and Domestic Abuse

To date, there is no literature specifically addressing the relationship between spousal battering and emotional intelligence, a concept that captures the success, or lack thereof, of a person's functioning in their immediate environment. Forty-four men convicted of spousal assault and 76 undergraduate students completed the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i; R. Bar-On, BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory: User's Manual, Multi-Health Systems, Inc., Toronto, 1997), the Propensity for Abusiveness Scale (PAS; D. G. Dutton, J. Fam. Violence 10(2): 203–221, 1995), and the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (D. Paulhus, J. Pers. Soc. Psychol. 46: 598–609, 1984; Assessing Self-Deception and Impression Management in Self-Reports: The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding, Unpublished manual, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 1988; In Measures of Personality and Social Psychological Attitudes, Academic Press, San Diego, CA, pp. 17–59, 1991). Results of this exploratory study indicate that batterers score significantly lower than the general population on all components of EQ-i. Additionally EQ-i total and subscale scores for both samples correlate negatively and significantly with scores on PAS, suggesting that deficits in various components of emotional intelligence are related to an increase in the propensity to be abusive. Implications for batterer treatment are discussed.     

论情商对犯罪心理和行为的影响

情商是个体对情绪的控制能力。低情商通过影响个体的认知、气质、性格、人际交往等催化其形成反社会的人格品质,且对犯罪心理和动机具有激化作用。在犯罪人实施犯罪过程中,情商高低直接影响其在犯罪现场的行为表现。剖析情商对犯罪心理的作用特点,有利于更深层次地认识犯罪心理的产生、形成及变化规律,为揭露、打击犯罪提供帮助。     

情绪劳动视角下学报编辑管理

学报编辑是社会中默默无闻奉献的群体之一，无论是追求个体“专”与“博”的发展，还是不吝付出为他人“做嫁衣裳”，等等，在突出学报编辑正确价值追求理念的同时，表明了学报编辑较高的情绪劳动投入。情绪劳动理论认为，情绪劳动的投入与情绪耗竭呈正比例关系。因此，重视学报编辑的情绪劳动培育和管理，建立以情绪劳动为导向的激励竞争机制，能够有效提高学报编辑的情绪管理水平，避免其不良情绪导致工作倦怠的发生。     

情感交流是做好学生思想工作的有效途径

情感原则属于美学范畴之一。学生管理中，情感交流是做好学生思想工作的有效途径，学管干部如果注意以情动人、 以美感人，激起学生的情感共鸣，会使他们在不知不觉中接受学干部的影响和教育。     

家庭冷暴力的法律规制

家庭冷暴力属于精神暴力,它是与身体暴力、性暴力并存的家庭暴力形式。目前,我国在防治家庭冷暴力方面存在如立法缺失、司法界定难、追究法律责任难等诸多困境。因此,应尽快出台《家庭暴力防治法》,明确家庭冷暴力的法律责任,实行举证责任倒置原则,扩大证据形式,赋予受害人精神损害赔偿的权利,不断完善我国家庭立法,进而保护受害者的合法权益。     

Toward a Conceptual Framework of Emotional Relationship Marketing: An Examination of Two UK Political Parties

The purpose of this paper is to review the notion of branding and evaluate its applicability to political parties. As ideological politics is in decline, branding may provide a consistent narrative where voters feel a sense of warmth and belonging. The paper aims to build an understanding of the complexity of building a political brand where a combination of image, logo, leadership, and values can all contribute to a compelling brand narrative. It investigates how competing positive and negative messages attempt to build and distort the brand identity. A critical review of branding, relationship marketing, and political science literature articulates the conceptual development of branding and its applicability to political parties. The success or failure of negative campaigning is due to the authenticity of a political party's brand values—creating a coherent brand story—if there is no distance between the brand values articulated by the political party and the values their community perceives then this creates an “authentic” brand. However, if there is a gap this paper illustrates how negative campaigning can be used to build a “doppelgänger brand,” which undermines the credibility of the authentic political brand. The paper argues that political parties need to understand how brand stories are developed but also how they can be used to protect against negative advertising. This has implications for political marketing strategists and political parties. This paper draws together branding theory and relationship marketing and incorporates them into a framework that makes a contribution to the political marketing literature.     

不同的童年迥异的艺术世界——冰心和庐隐比较

冰心、庐隐是我国现代文坛几乎同时出现的第一代女作家,且同为文学研究会成员,文学主题几近相同,但是由于两人的童年经历迥异导致其作品的风格和情感基调截然不同.家庭的温暖和充足的母爱育成了冰心善良、温柔、文雅的性格,造就了她崇尚"爱的哲学",试图用爱来化解世间的一切矛盾.不幸的童年和母爱的缺失,赋予了庐隐敏感、悲哀、倔强、愤世嫉俗的性格,一生常常被悲哀所困扰,不得解脱,悲哀凄凉对世事不平的情绪始终渗透在她的字里行间,成为她作品的主色调.     

WHEN THE COST IS TOO GREAT: THE EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT ON CHILDREN OF INCARCERATING THEIR PARENTS FOR DRUG OFFENCES1

The advent of the modern “war on drugs” and its accompanying “lock 'em up and throw away the key” crime policies largely explain the evolution of mass incarceration in the U.S. and account for much of the emotional and psychological pain caused to children who have lost their parents to long prison sentences. It is by reducing reliance on incarceration to tackle the “drug problem” in the United States that there will be a positive impact on reducing the number of parents being separated from their children for inordinate amounts of time, thereby potentially reducing the negative emotional and psychological impact on children. Aiding parents combat their addiction outside of prison walls is perhaps to most sensible criminal justice policy in addressing the needs of children who are caught in the cross‐fire of the war on drugs. In the meantime, as policy makers review, assess, and, eventually, reform draconian drug laws and sentencing policies, it is imperative that front‐line service providers who work with children and family and juvenile court judges be mindful of the emotional and psychological impact that parental incarceration has on youth. A more in‐depth understanding of the complexities of these young people's life experiences will hopefully enable the development of appropriate support services.
