Bounding the number of contributors to mixed DNA stains

We derive a simple inequality for the probability of observing a given DNA profile when assuming a fixed number of unknown persons have contributed to the mixed stain. We then show how this inequality can be used to obtain an upper bound for the number of unknown contributors needed to be considered.     

论精神障碍犯罪嫌疑人的讯问规则

因精神障碍犯罪嫌疑人在受讯问时．有受暗示性较强、依从性及内化性较强、更容易作出虚假供述的特征，因此对精神障碍犯罪嫌疑人的讯问应有特殊的法律规则进行规范。具体而言．应当建立对精神障碍嫌疑人进行适合讯问的评估制度，对于可以在适当成年人在场的情况下讯问的精神障碍嫌疑人．在讯问时应让适当成年人在场对嫌疑人进行保护并监督讯问行为。另外，基于精神障碍嫌疑人对抗讯问的能力较弱，应限制适用威胁、引诱、欺骗等通常情况下具有一定容许性的讯问策略．其它讯问策略也不得超出精神障碍嫌疑人的承受能力。     

论逮捕与人权保障

由逮捕的特殊性和人权的重要性决定,二者之间是一种辩证的关系：逮捕存在的根本目的是为保障人权,然而却是以限制或剥夺具体人的基本人权为条件的;从对被害人人权和社会制度角度讲,需要而且离不开逮捕,从被告人人权保障角度讲,要控制和慎用逮捕。二者统一于社会的共同道德和法律基础。尊重人权是人道的,正确地适用逮捕同样是人道的。尤其应当注意对被逮捕者权利的保障。     

试论刑嫌调控工作的可持续发展

从历史和现实斗争角度来看,刑嫌调控具有积极作用和重要的现实意义.但当前形势下刑嫌调控存在不少问题,必须完善、夯实刑嫌调控的理论基础,改革刑侦基础、手段、工作模式、工作机制,使刑嫌调控发挥更大效益.     

侦查讯问中犯罪嫌疑人陈述自愿的制度保障

犯罪嫌疑人陈述自愿的保障,是正当讯问制度的核心内容。目前侦查讯问与犯罪嫌疑人陈述自愿存在种种现实冲突,应通过赋予犯罪嫌疑人沉默权,律师在权。限制讯问结果的运用,录音、录像监控,增强相应机关的独立性,以及完善坦白从宽抗拒从严政策等,解决犯罪嫌疑人陈述自愿的制度保障问题。     

Using shortest path to discover criminal community

Extracting communities using existing community detection algorithms yields dense sub-networks that are difficult to analyse. Extracting a smaller sample that embodies the relationships of a list of suspects is an important part of the beginning of an investigation. In this paper, we present the efficacy of our shortest paths network search algorithm (SPNSA) that begins with an ‘algorithm feed’, a small subset of nodes of particular interest, and builds an investigative sub-network. The algorithm feed may consist of known criminals or suspects, or persons of influence. This sets our approach apart from existing community detection algorithms. We apply the SPNSA on the Enron Dataset of e-mail communications starting with those convicted of money laundering in relation to the collapse of Enron as the algorithm feed. The algorithm produces sparse and small sub-networks that could feasibly identify a list of persons and relationships to be further investigated. In contrast, we show that identifying sub-networks of interest using either existing community detection algorithms or a k-Neighbourhood approach produces sub-networks of much larger size and complexity. When the 18 top managers of Enron were used as the algorithm feed, the resulting sub-network identified 4 convicted criminals that were not managers and so not part of the algorithm feed. We directly validate the SPNSA by removing one of the convicted criminals from the algorithm feed and re-running the algorithm; in 5 out of 9 cases the left out criminal occurred in the resulting sub-network.     

论讯问策略在消防刑事案件预审中的应用

调查讯问是消防刑事案件的主要工作内容,通过讯问可以查明火灾原因及认定火灾责任。如何开展好讯问工作的关键在于采用行之有效的讯问策略,本文从分析犯罪嫌疑人不同阶段的心理状态、行为表征人手,研究探讨了针对犯罪嫌疑人不同的心理特征,采取相应的讯问策略以及讯问中出示证据等问题。     

审讯参与者心理探析

审讯是一项复杂的心理交往活动，但这种交往又不是一般的人际交往，是审讯人员同犯罪嫌疑人带有心理冲突性的交往。本文从审讯活动心理准备阶段和展开初期入手，对审讯双方心理关系尤其是对犯罪嫌疑人心理状态及其特点进行了探讨．拟为审讯计划和审讯对策的制定提出心理学依据。进而增强审讯人员的实战水平和能力，实现审讯的目的。     

应该如何报道犯罪嫌疑人——邱兴华案件报道剖析

犯罪嫌疑人的特殊身份,决定了媒体对其的报道应该坚持揭露、震慑、剖析的原则,这三个报道原则,同时也是媒体在报道犯罪嫌疑人时所应该期待的报道效果。但在报道实践中,媒体往往以片面追求某种"新闻效应"为目的,导致了对犯罪嫌疑人的报道走入误区,产生了与媒体期待相反的报道效果。     

Resisting the advance of the security state: The impact of frameworks of resistance on the UK'S securitisation agenda

From the turn of the new century, the UK witnessed an unprecedented advancement in the state's security apparatus. These developments and their human rights implications have been extensively documented by the socio-legal and wider academic community. However, less well-understood has been the forms of resistance which have placed fetters on the operation of state powers. This article identifies three dominant frameworks through which resistance to the ‘securitisation agenda’ has materialised. In doing so, we assess the relative ‘successes’ and ‘limitations’ of each framework. Ultimately, we seek to identify the frameworks that offer the greater transformative potential in promoting alternative forms of security to those promulgated by the ‘new terrorism’ discourse.
