Trumping Communitarianism: Crime Control And Forensic Dna Typing And Databasing In Singapore, Victor Toom
Trumping Communitarianism: Crime Control And Forensic Dna Typing And Databasing In Singapore, Victor Toom
victor toom
Liberalism and communitarianism have figured prominently in discussions of how to govern forensic DNA practices (forensic DNA typing and databasing). Despite the prominence of these two political philosophies and their underlying values, no studies have looked at the governance of forensic DNA practices in a nondemocratic country governed by a communitarian logic. To fill this lacuna in the literature, this article considers Singapore as an authoritarian state governed by a communitarian philosophy. The article highlights basic innovations and technologies of forensic DNA practices and articulates a liberal democratic version of “biolegality” as described by Michael Lynch and Ruth McNally. It …
Breaking The Theft-Chain-Cycle: Property Marking As A Defensive Tool, William J. Bailey, David J. Brooks
Breaking The Theft-Chain-Cycle: Property Marking As A Defensive Tool, William J. Bailey, David J. Brooks
Bill Bailey
The theft of property and its associated impact effects many parts of society. For example, a considerable amount of resources are expended in trying to reduce property theft, as such crime engenders both a financial and emotional impact (Grabosky, 1995, p. 1) on those involved. Factors such as fear of crime, increased insurance premiums and victimization are all outcomes of property crime. Much of the past research has focused on the mitigation of such crimes, collectively termed as ‘crime prevention’. Crime prevention are “any actions designed to reduce the actual level of crime and/or the perceived crime” (S.P. Lab, 2010, …

Responding To Spousal Violence: Does Gender Matter?, Hong Xiao, Jeanne Blackburn
Responding To Spousal Violence: Does Gender Matter?, Hong Xiao, Jeanne Blackburn
Hong Xiao
Research on domestic violence has documented a persistent gender difference in partner violence; men are more likely than women to be violent and male aggression is viewed more negatively than female aggression. Yet few studies have explained why this is the case. In this paper, we explore the sources of this gender difference in the perceptions of partner aggression. Using a vignette describing a violent episode between a heterosexual couple, we assess the mediating effect of perceived level of danger on spousal aggression. Findings suggest there are significant differences in perceptions based on gender of perpetrators and gender of respondents. …
Ain’T I A Woman, Too?: The Thirteenth Amendment, In Defense Of Incarcerated Women’S Reproductive Rights, Alexandria Gutierrez
Ain’T I A Woman, Too?: The Thirteenth Amendment, In Defense Of Incarcerated Women’S Reproductive Rights, Alexandria Gutierrez
Alexandria Gutierrez
In her memoir, Harriet Ann Jacobs highlights the unique impact slavery had on women. The physical dominion imposed upon female slaves included both internal and external bodily control. Beyond sexual exploitation, the bodies of female slaves were used for a type of labor for which their male counterparts were not capable: reproduction. Forced pregnancy in the slavery context was a tragic and violative experience affecting women physically, psychologically, and emotionally. Long after the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, slavery-like practices lived on through social, political, and economic mechanisms. In the penological context, peonage laws, penal plantations, and chain gangs were …
The Eleventh Circuit's Selective Assault On Sentencing Discretion, Adam Shajnfeld
The Eleventh Circuit's Selective Assault On Sentencing Discretion, Adam Shajnfeld
Adam Shajnfeld
Ever since the Supreme Court declared that the sentences which district courts impose on criminal defendants are to be reviewed on appeal for “unreasonableness,” the standard’s contours have remained elusive and mired in controversy, despite the Court’s repeated attempts at elucidation. In few instances is this confounding state of affairs more apparent and acute than in the Eleventh Circuit’s recent lengthy and factious en banc decision in United States v. Irey. This article explores Irey’s merits, mistakes, and lessons, trying to locate each within the broader context of the Eleventh Circuit’s sentencing jurisprudence. In doing so, the article advances three …
Utilizing The Past To Shape The Future: The Rehabilitation Of Child Soldiers In Darfur, Michael K. Marriott
Utilizing The Past To Shape The Future: The Rehabilitation Of Child Soldiers In Darfur, Michael K. Marriott
Michael K Marriott
Child soldiering, an unfortunate reality of war, has become increasingly common in modern warfare. With world attention focused on the genocide taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan, issues regarding the use of child soldiers in the conflict have come to light. By providing an overview of the use of child soldiers both globally and in Sudan, discussing the relevant legal norms theoretically governing the country and providing a case study on Sierra Leone, this paper ultimately provides an analysis and proposed framework for comprehensive programs that could be put into action after cessation of hostilities in an attempt …
Drug And Alcohol Policy Under New Labour: Pandering To Populism?, Julian Buchanan
Drug And Alcohol Policy Under New Labour: Pandering To Populism?, Julian Buchanan
Julian Buchanan
Coming to power with an overwhelming majority in 1997, New Labour had the opportunity to lead the world by adopting a much needed progressive, pragmatic and scientifically informed approach to the management of substance use and misuse in the twenty-first century: by some distance, they failed to deliver on the election promise of change. Instead, they mistakenly continued the pursuit of eradicating drugs through prohibition, perpetuated the misleading distinction between legal and illegal drugs, and failed to overhaul the much criticised and outdated Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, which continues to inform (or some would argue misinform) the public about …
Putting Forfeiture To Work, Sarah M. Buel
Putting Forfeiture To Work, Sarah M. Buel
SARAH M BUEL
Intimate partner violence (“IPV”) victims are increasingly turning to the courts for help, too often with poor results. Successful witness tampering by offenders sabotages the court system by silencing victims through an array of unlawful conduct, including coercion and violence. The doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing should afford a viable solution, but several obstacles constrain its efficacy. Much confusion exists regarding witness tampering and forfeiture law as a result of the recent trilogy of the Crawford, Davis, and Giles Supreme Court decisions. Their cumulative effect is decreased doctrinal uniformity within a perplexing scheme that is difficult to implement. The resulting …
Development Of A Dna Database In Ireland — Assessing The Proposed Legislation, Liz Campbell
Development Of A Dna Database In Ireland — Assessing The Proposed Legislation, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
The collection and retention of DNA samples are seen universally as crucial for purposes of criminal investigation and prosecution, as a means of excluding innocent suspects, and of exonerating the wrongfully convicted. However, there is less consistency across jurisdictions regarding whose DNA should be obtained by the state and for how long it should be stored. The need for a measured approach in this context is underlined by the “exceptionalism” of genetic material, given the depth and sensitivity of the information contained within, and the potential for “function creep”, whereby state powers insidiously increase and data gathered for one purpose …

León De Greiff: Cultura Y Política En Colombia (1895-1976), Alexander Montoya Prada
León De Greiff: Cultura Y Política En Colombia (1895-1976), Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
En este artículo hacemos un análisis de la vida pública del poeta León de Greiff en el contexto de la historia colombiana del siglo XX. Nos interesa la relación entre cultura y política, vista desde la trayectoria de vida del poeta, con énfasis en los personajes públicos que lo rodearon y el vínculo que estableció con ellos. Pensamos a León de Greiff frente al medio que lo produce como autor, evitando exaltar su genialidad y su aura extraña para el entorno colombiano como ya se ha hecho en múltiples textos, prefiriendo un análisis que privilegie su inclusión dentro de los …
Asalariados De La Muerte. Sicariato Y Criminalidad En Colombia., Alexander Montoya Prada
Asalariados De La Muerte. Sicariato Y Criminalidad En Colombia., Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
El sicariato es un recurso utilizado en el desarrollo de conflictos sociales desde el ámbito público estatal hasta el privado íntimo. En este artículo hacemos un recorrido de los últimos 30 años en la historia de Colombia, para estudiar la manera como se relaciona con diferentes actores y procesos, como los del narcotráfico y el paramilitarismo, describiendo la trayectoria de los sicarios, modus operandi, niveles de organización, móviles de los contratantes y tarifas. De igual manera abordamos la relación y la reacción del Estado ante el sicariato, con políticas de justicia, seguridad y rehabilitación.

Law Without Disgust: A Fetid Freedom, Matthew Jordan Cochran
Law Without Disgust: A Fetid Freedom, Matthew Jordan Cochran
Matthew Jordan Cochran
Martha Nussbaum has attacked disgust as an emotion incompatible with political liberal values; a primitive shrinking from animality that is used to subjugate vulnerable groups. Dr. Leon Kass has described disgust as a profound wisdom that teaches us the boundaries beyond which our given human nature becomes compromised. Kass's view of human dignity recognizes the hierarchical nature of being human, while Nussbaum's rather scatological account reduces mankind to a mere species of animal—an animal which is somehow an oppressor for shunning the accouterments of its own mortality. This article compares these two competing views on the interplay between disgust and …
Territorio, Gestión Local Y Conflicto En El Municipio De El Tambo, Alexander Montoya Prada
Territorio, Gestión Local Y Conflicto En El Municipio De El Tambo, Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
La influencia de guerrillas, paramilitares y mafias ha crecido en años recientes, afectando la gestión pública local y nacional, el diseño de políticas públicas y el manejo de los recursos. La comprensión de este proceso requiere de estudios de caso como el que presentamos del municipio de El Tambo en el departamento del Cauca. Aquí se analiza el impacto que los actores armados generan en la satisfacción plena de los derechos civiles, políticos y sociales de los ciudadanos. Queremos conocer cuáles son los actores que hacen presencia, sus motivaciones para incidir en la institucionalidad pública local, su relación con las …
Las Otras Caras Del Poder. Territorio, Conflicto Y Gestión Pública En Municipios Colombianos, Fabio Enrique Velásquez Carrillo
Las Otras Caras Del Poder. Territorio, Conflicto Y Gestión Pública En Municipios Colombianos, Fabio Enrique Velásquez Carrillo
Alexander Montoya Prada
La influencia de los actores armados ilegales en la gestión municipal es hoy un hecho que muy pocos se atreven a controvertir. Ya en la segunda mitad de la década pasada algunos estudios reconocieron la importancia que el territorio tenía para los actores armados en el contexto del conflicto. Sin embargo, no existen estudios que examinen de modo sistemático la influencia de los actores armados en el manejo de los asuntos públicos municaples y los efectos de dicha influencia sobre la vida de quienes habitan los territorios. Tal es el propósito de este libro. El análisis sugiere que existe en …

Non Nation Destabilizing Eradication Of Opium Cultivation In Afghanistan: A History Backed Analysis, Allen Gnanam
Non Nation Destabilizing Eradication Of Opium Cultivation In Afghanistan: A History Backed Analysis, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
A successful and non nation destabilizing eradication of opium cultivation in Afghanistan, is contingent upon the mandatory countering of interconnected (a) economic obstacles, (b) sociocultural obstacles, and (c) political obstacles that are fueling and maintaining the illegal production and trade of heroin. This paper will explore and analyze the above mentioned interconnected obstacles, in order to present the complex issues that need to be addressed when it comes to dismantling the illegal opium bastion in Afghanistan. At a macro- level Foucault’s triangular model that identifies the interconnectivity between the government, the population, and the political economy (1978) will be utilized …

This paper sets out to identify and explain the negative national security implications, negative physical & psychological implications, and the negative economic implications that society could face, as a result of a severe cyber attack against major sectors of a nations infrastructure. In addition instigating factors that lead to/ provoke cyber terrorism will be identified, in order to strategically influence counter cyber terrorism policy towards an offensive model. Along with that, this paper will present defensive/ target hardening counter- cyber terrorism policies that will enable proactive security mechanisms to be implemented.
Book Review Of: Crime In An Insecure World: By Richard Ericson, Allen Gnanam
Book Review Of: Crime In An Insecure World: By Richard Ericson, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
Crime in an Insecure World written by Richard Ericson, depicts western society as a neo-liberal state, that has an impulsive tendency to criminalizes all sources of harm through precautionary logic, risk assessment, surveillance measures, and counter law I and II, due to the dominant culture of impulsive criminalization that produces uncertainty. Counter Law, precautionary logical, risk assessment, and uncertainty are the 4 major concepts discussed by Ericson, and these concepts will be analyzed and interpreted during this book review.
Ban Opitc Private Security Goverance: Exceptionalism, Spatial Sorting And Risk Assessments, Allen Gnanam
Ban Opitc Private Security Goverance: Exceptionalism, Spatial Sorting And Risk Assessments, Allen Gnanam
Allen Gnanam
This paper is theoretically grounded on the Ban opticon framework that is characterized by the use of exceptionalism, the normalization of imperative movement, and profiling for insecurity management purposes (Bigo, 2005). This framework will be utilized in order to expose and analyze the Ban optic governmentality of the private security industry. Secondly, the overall discussion and analysis of the private security industry- Ban opticon nexus will be discussed with specific reference to the private security operations of The New Commons. Thirdly, three private security intelligence networks identified by Lippert & O’Connor (2006) namely Disciplinary Networks, Private Justice Networks, and Multilateral …

Construir, Destruir Y Escribir La Ciudad: Iglesia, Industria Y Guerra En Querétaro (1839-1881), Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
A mediados del siglo XIX en la ciudad mexicana de Querétaro, las fábricas de Cayetano Rubio, el proceso de desamortización de bienes de la Iglesia y el sitio militar de 1867 contra las tropas del emperador Maximiliano, cambiaron su paisaje urbano y la forma en que lo vivían e interpretaban los lugareños y visitantes. La industria, la iglesia y la guerra, se constituían en tres dimensiones fundamentales de la historia y la vida de la ciudad, que son tratadas en la “Guía del viajero en Querétaro. Apuntes históricos, geográficos y estadísticos de la ciudad”, escrita por Celestino Díaz. Sobre este …

Undermining Individual And Collective Citizenship: The Impact Of Felon Exclusion Laws On The African-American Community, S. David Mitchell
Undermining Individual And Collective Citizenship: The Impact Of Felon Exclusion Laws On The African-American Community, S. David Mitchell
S. David Mitchell
Felon exclusion laws are jurisdiction-specific, post-conviction statutory restrictions that prohibit convicted felons from exercising a host of legal rights, most notably the right to vote. The professed intent of these laws is to punish convicted felons equally without regard for the demographic characteristics of each individual, including race, class, or gender. Felon exclusion laws, however, have a disproportionate impact on African-American males and, by extension, on the residential communities from which many convicted felons come. Thus, felon exclusion laws not only relegate African-American convicted felons to a position of second-class citizenship, but the laws also diminish the collective citizenship of …
From Due Process To Crime Control: The Decline Of Liberalism In The Irish Criminal Justice System, Liz Campbell
From Due Process To Crime Control: The Decline Of Liberalism In The Irish Criminal Justice System, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
At all stages of the Irish criminal process, from pretrial detention and investigation, through the courthearing and at sentencing, a shift in focus from the due process rights of the accused towards the crime control aims of the State is apparent. Due process values, which seek to establish a degree of parity between the State and the accused, are increasingly seen in popular and political discourse as inconveniences to be overcome, rather than vital safeguards.
Taxing Illegal Assets: The Revenue Work Of The Criminal Assets Bureau, Liz Campbell
Taxing Illegal Assets: The Revenue Work Of The Criminal Assets Bureau, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
This article considers the powers of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in the context of revenue law, as this lesser-known aspect of the Bureau’s work is often overshadowed by its ability to seize and confiscate the proceeds of crime. Although the taxing of illegal profits was traditionally precluded in Ireland, this situation was altered in the early-1980s, thereby facilitating CAB’s revenue work. Despite CAB’s significant powers in this regard, the courts have overturned its tax assessments in a number of cases, on the basis that certain criteria pertaining to its tax powers have been breached. Nevertheless, CAB’s ability to pursue …
The Evidence Of Intimidated Witnesses In Criminal Trials, Liz Campbell
The Evidence Of Intimidated Witnesses In Criminal Trials, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
The issue of witness intimidation has gained currency in the Irish criminal justice system in recent years with the increase in so-called “gangland” crime. The brutal treatment used by organised criminals to resolve gangland feuds is echoed in the threats received by individuals who seek to testify against suspected organised criminals. This article examines various approaches have been adopted by the State to ensure that the evidence of threatened witnesses may be used in court. While some witnesses may participate in the Witness Protection Programme (WPP), others may give evidence by means of video-camera. In addition, even if an intimidated …
Decline Of Due Process In The Irish Justice System: Beyond The Culture Of Control?, Liz Campbell
Decline Of Due Process In The Irish Justice System: Beyond The Culture Of Control?, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
Legislation in Ireland that pertains to serious and organised crime is characterised by a favouring of public protection over the rights of the accused; by an increased concern for security with a concomitant diminution of the significance of liberty. Throughout the pre-trial stage of the criminal process, the court-hearing and sentencing, a shift in focus from the due process rights of the accused towards the result-oriented aims of the State is apparent. Furthermore, the fight against organised crime has extended into the civil domain with the creation of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), with its low burden of proof and …
