浅析公安边防搜索战术

搜索战术是公安边防部队在边防战斗中寻找、发现和缉捕犯罪嫌疑人时常用的一种战斗方法。在搜索行动中既要做到快速、及时地发现犯罪嫌疑人,又要确保搜索官兵和人民群众安全,必须运用合理的搜索战术。本文基于公安边防搜索战术概念和分类,结合搜索行动的特点,对公安边防搜索行动提出基本要求,以期对公安边防部队合理运用搜索战术有所帮助。     

关于完善竞价排名制度之研究

竞价排名是一种搜索引擎商业化产物。我国法律对其没有相应的定性与规范,这导致搜索引擎商在竞价排名活动中利用法律漏洞滥用技术优势地位,恣意侵害网络用户权利,严重扰乱网络信息秩序,直接或者间接成为民事侵权的始作俑者和帮凶,竞价排名所引发的民事侵权行为有点击欺诈、强迫消费、帮助侵权,对此必须明确竞价排名的性质,从技术及法律上杜绝由于不规范使用竞价排名规则所产生的侵权行为。     

Regulation by litigation

We believe that careful application of the logic of economics and public choice shines important light on regulation through litigation and can explain at least partly why regulators choose the litigation route, when they choose it, and how the choice may or may not achieve broad goals of efficiency and fairness. We present three case studies: heavy‐duty diesel engines, silica and asbestos, and the tobacco industry's Master Settlement Agreement (MSA).     

关于指纹自动识别系统使用过程中的新思考

计算机指纹自动识别系统,是指以指纹自动处理为核心的指纹处理、管理、识别计算机系统,具有存储容量大、比对速度快、效率高、质量好、便于应用等诸多优越性。指纹自动比对系统不仅提高了速度,最主要的是提高了比中率。但系统的使用是离不开人的,其中捺印指纹入库质量、现场指纹入库特征标识准确性、系统的维护等工作都离不开技术人员,各个环节的技术员的综合能力的优劣,及对系统性能的熟悉程度,均直接影响到检索比对的结果。     

A note on electoral competition and turnout in run-off electoral systems: Taking into account both endogeneity and attenuation bias

In this short note, I propose an identification strategy to estimate the causal effect of expected electoral competition on voter turnout in run-off systems taking into account both endogeneity and attenuation bias. I find that electoral competition significantly raises turnout. Not addressing attenuation bias yields estimates that are biased by up to 50%.     

Leave and Remain voters’ knowledge of the EU after the referendum of 2016

Since the UK's vote to leave the European Union, there has been considerable debate about whether voters (particularly Leave voters) were well-informed prior to making their decisions. We gave a 15-item EU knowledge quiz to a large, nationally representative sample of the British population via an online survey. Our quiz included nine ‘ideologically neutral’ items, as well as six items that we deemed more ‘ideologically convenient’ for one side or the other. Overall, there was no average difference between Leave voters and Remain voters (either before or after controlling for covariates), despite the fact that Remain voters scored slightly higher on a short test of probability reasoning. In addition, both Leave and Remain voters were more likely to answer correctly on items that were ‘ideologically convenient’ for them. Consistent with the previous literature, older age, male gender, higher education, and stronger political interest were all significant predictors of EU knowledge. Interestingly however, these variables only predicted knowledge on the nine ‘ideologically neutral’ items; their associations with knowledge on the six ‘ideologically convenient’ items were generally weak and non-significant.     

论我国“人肉搜索”行为的民法规制

作为互联网行业的飞速发展所带来的新生事物,“人肉搜索”自诞生以来,就长期游离在法律边缘.本文从“人肉搜索”的概念和性质等出发,阐述“人肉搜索”行为对于社会发展的意义,探讨“人肉搜索”的法律规制现状,以析“人肉搜索”行为存在的弊端.在此基础上,从完善隐私权立法等角度提出对“人肉搜索”行为的民法规制：明确界定“人肉搜索”行为的合法事由与非法事由;完善民法领域对隐私权的法律保护;对“人肉搜索”行为中侵权主体的法律责任进行明确界定.     

加强政协理论实践研究把握政协工作特点规律

政协事业要发展一步,理论实践研究就必须深入一步。政协理论实践研究是政协工作改革创新的重要突破口,是凑索政协工作新特点新规律的有效途径,是提井政协工作成效的重要保证。搞好政协理论实践研究应在大兴调查研究之风土下功夫,要密切与政协委员的联系,在加强联系申了解委员情况;要加强与政协机关的接舷,在加强接触中了解机关情况;要密切与基层政协的往来,在密切往来中了解基层情况。应在大力加强对实际问题的理论思考上下功夫,要搞好理论武装,善于从全局上思考问题,加强系统研究。要在拿出管用的对策和办法上下功夫,进一步解放思想、更新观念,充分发挥主观能动性,积极吸收和借鉴一切有益的经验。     

Predictive Soil Provenancing (PSP): An Innovative Forensic Soil Provenance Analysis Tool

Soil is a common evidence type used in forensic and intelligence operations. Where soil composition databases are lacking or inadequate, we propose to use publicly available soil attribute rasters to reduce forensic search areas. Soil attribute rasters, which have recently become widely available at high spatial resolutions, typically three arc‐seconds (~90 m), are predictive models of the distribution of soil properties (with confidence limits) derived from data mining the inter‐relationships between these properties and several environmental covariates. Each soil attribute raster is searched for pixels that satisfy the compositional conditions of the evidentiary soil sample (target value ± confidence limits). We show through an example that the search area for an evidentiary soil sample can be reduced to <10% of the original investigation area. This Predictive Soil Provenancing (PSP) approach is a transparent, reproducible, and objective method of efficiently and effectively reducing the likely provenance area of forensic soil samples.     

Emotions,reason, and character

Utilizing a contractualist framework for understanding the basis and limits for the use of force by police, this article offers five limiting principles—respect for status as moral agents, proportionality, minimum force necessary, ends likely to be accomplished, and appropriate motivation—and then discusses uses of force that violate or risk violating those principles. These include, but are not limited to, unseemly invasions, strip searches, perp walks, handcuffing practices, post-chase apprehensions, contempt-of-cop arrests, overuse of intermediate force measures, coerced confessions, profiling, stop and frisk practices, and the administration of street justice.
