A Critical Analysis of the Law Commission's Proposed Cyberflashing Offence

The Law Commission has proposed a new offence of cyberflashing to combat the problem of sending unsolicited images or videos of human genitals to others. It seems that what the Law Commission has in mind is not flashing per se, but cyber-nudity. Its proposal fails to comprehensively evaluate the adequacy of existing law and fails to balance the harm of a criminal conviction against the potential harm of cyberflashing. It shall be argued that the Law Commission seems to have conflated wrong with harm and that its harm claim is supported only by anecdotal evidence. The vast majority of cyberflashing cases, including most Airdropping and Bluetoothing cases, are already covered by existing law, leaving untouched only a handful of one-off Airdropping or Bluetoothing cases where the flasher did not intend to cause distress or anxiety and the victim did not apprehend imminent unlawful force. Thus, it is argued that this very narrowly tailored cyberflashing offence adds very little and that amending existing communication offences or harassment offences would provide more protection to victims as such offences could apply to a wide range of sexually harassing content, not just images or videos of human genitals.

The potential for linking cohort participants to official criminal records: a pilot study using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).

Introduction: Linking longitudinal cohort resources with police-recorded records of criminal activity has the potential to inform public health style approaches to policing, and may reduce potential sources of bias from self-reported criminal data collected by cohort studies. A pilot linkage of police records to the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) allows us to consider the acceptability of this linkage, its utility as a data resource, differences in self-reported crime according to consent status for data linkage, and the appropriate governance mechanism to support such a linkage. Methods: We carried out a pilot study linking data from the ALSPAC birth cohort to Ministry of Justice (MoJ) records on criminal cautions and convictions. This pilot was conducted on a fully anonymous basis, meaning we cannot link the identified records to any participant or the wider information within the dataset. Using ALSPAC data, we used summary statistics to investigate differences in socio-economic background and self-reported criminal activity by consent status for crime linkage. We used MoJ records to identify the geographic and temporal concentration of criminality in the ALSPAC cohort. Results: We found that the linkage appears acceptable to participants (4% of the sample opted out), levels of criminal caution and conviction are high enough to support research, and that the majority of crimes occurred in Avon & Somerset (the policing area local to ALSPAC). Those who did not respond to consent requests had higher levels of self-reported criminal behaviour compared to participants who provided explicit consent. Conclusions: These findings suggest that data linkage in ALSPAC provides opportunities to study criminal behaviour and that linked individual-level records could provide robust research in the area. Our findings also suggest the potential for bias when only including participants who have explicitly consented to data linkage, highlighting the limitations of opt-in consent strategies.

JUDGES' CONSIDERATIONS IN DECIDING CRIMINAL ACTS OF CLASS 1 ARCOTIC ABUSE FOR YOURSELF (CASE STUDY Number 1/Pid.Sus-Anak/2019/PN Lbp PN LUBUK PAKAM)

Narcotics abuse no longer looks at age, ranging from children, teenagers, adults to the elderly even though they are not free from the trap of narcotics abuse. It is estimated that around 1.5 percent of the total population of Indonesia are victims of narcotics abuse. The problem of narcotics circulation is no less worrying, because it does not only occur in big cities but also reaches remote parts of Indonesia. Misuse of psychotropic substances can lead to a dependency syndrome if their use is not under the supervision and guidance of health workers who have the expertise and authority to do so. The reality in society shows that psychotropics should be used in health services and science has been abused. The use of this substance is out of bounds, which is generally intended for temporary pleasure. This causes people who are addicted to psychotropics to increase. The demand for psychotropics in the black market is also getting bigger. The crime rate that arises from the urge to get psychotropics as well as those that occur after someone consumes them also increases. This research method is normative juridical which will explore various secondary literatures consisting of legislation, regulations, books, journals and papers related to patents. The author uses a normative juridical method because the target of this research is law and rule. The definition of rules includes, legal principles, rules in a narrow sense and concrete legal regulations. This normative juridical research method aims to find coherent truth through deductive reasoning. Deductive way of thinking means research will depart from a specific idea.Data collection methods are through: questionnaires, interviews, observations, exams (tests), documentation, and others. Researchers can use one or a combination of techniques depending on the problem at hand or being studied.The results of the study stated that the child of BAYU SETIAWAN, Als. ARIF IRAWAN, had been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing the crime of "Narcotics Abuser Group I for himself"; Imposing a criminal sentence to the child therefore with imprisonment for 7 (seven) months; Determine the period of arrest and the period of detention that the child has served is completely deducted from the sentence imposed; Determine that the child remains in detention; Stating evidence in the form of: 1 (one) small plastic clip pack containing methamphetamine with a net weight of 0.04 (zero point zero four) grams.
 
 
 
 
 

The specifics of social resocialization of convicts sentenced to deprivation of liberty

The article reveals the problem of the specifics of the social resocialization of those sentenced to deprivation of liberty. The factors determining it are determined, where labor is named as the main one. This kind of approach makes it possible to evaluate other elements of the social resocialization of convicts sentenced to deprivation of liberty. In the literature, they are usually defined as equivalent. However, the analysis of their content, carried out in the article, made it possible to establish the main role of labor, above all other signs (factors). The essence of the resocializing role of the theoretical and methodological approach, to the definition of its mechanism in achieving the goals of criminal punishment, is revealed. This allows us to establish the sequence of the resocializing impact on those sentenced to deprivation of liberty throughout all stages of the penal process (the penitentiary and post-penitentiary periods of social resocialization of convicts). It is concluded that social resocialization determines its structure based on the attitude of the convict to work, where the latter acts as the leading element of penitentiary influence on the personality of the convict. It is summarized that the process is carried out in two stages, the first penitentiary proceeds directly in the conditions of a correctional institution, the second post-penitentiary in the conditions of a free society, where there is a kind of consolidation of those values and norms that were restored to the convict as a socialized member of a free (open) society. The social resocialization of those sentenced to deprivation of liberty is formulated by the author as a specific process that allows creating conditions under which it is possible to overcome the social alienation of the person serving (has served) a criminal sentence in a free (open) society

Artificial Intelligence-Powered Criminal Sentencing in Malaysia: A conflict with the rule of law

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to heighten human decision-making, including in court. AI sentencing would be better at detecting, organizing, and calibrating all of the variables correlated to sentencing, such as prior criminal records, educational background, substance abuse history, and employment history, resulting in consistencies that traditional sentencing may not be able to provide. AI pervades the Malaysian judiciary system when AI criminal sentencing was launched for the first time to augment the process of meting out sentences in Sabah courts. Despite its promising benefits, AI sentencing may infringe the fundamental principle of due process, presents unacceptable risks of error and implicit bias, and reliance on AI to predict recidivism which forms significant components of the rule of law. The rule of law guarantees that all entities are subject to and accountable to a clear and known law. It enables the judicial branch of the government to be independent and to resolve dispute in a fair manner while upholding the presumption of innocence and preventing the exercise of arbitrary powers. The present research, therefore, examines the use of AI in supporting court processes and human judges, discovering its technical characteristics, practical constraints, and legal theoretical consequences for decision-making processes. Employing jurisprudential analysis as the method of research, this research explores an adjudicatory paradigm that prefers standardisation over discretion, leading in the waning of the notion of rule of law pertinent to the justice system. The metamorphosis to AI adjudication will undoubtedly promote the growth of digitalized dispute resolution by providing efficiency and at least a semblance of impartiality, but it is also poised to birth concerns by making the legal system data-driven, alienating, and disillusioning.

TINJAUAN YURIDIS PEMBERIAN REMISI BAGI NARAPIDANA TINDAK PIDANA NARKOTIKA DAN PSIKOTROPIKA DITINJAU DARI UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 12 TAHUN 1995 TENTANG PEMASYARAKATAN

Rights of prisoners stipulated in the Law No. 12 of 1995 concerning on correctional. In article 14, it is explicity mentioned some prisoners rights including the right to get remission. The implementation of the entitlement remissions for the prisoners of narcotics and psychotropic crimes and certain criminal offenses categorized as extra ordinary crime regulated in The Government Regulation No. 99 of 2012 on the second amandement of the Goverment Regulation No. 32 of 1999 on the requirement and procedures for the implementation of the prisoners rights. In this government regulation, remission for the prisoners of narcotics and psychotropic cases and specific criminal acts enforced differently from other general crimes. Policy about tightening these remissions raise the pro and contra in the society. In the one hand, those who agree on the policy argue that the perpretactors of narcotics and psychotropic cases are not feasible to be given remission, because narcotics and psychotropic are extra ordinary crimes. This can evoke deterrent effect. On the other hand, people whose counter with this policy assume that remission is a right of prisoners that have been regulated by laws. Restrictions remissions by tightening of the requirement for prisoners of certain criminal acts are form discrimination that violated human rights. This research aim are finding out on the the implementation of remission in Prison of Serang and how it is answered based on human right perspective. This research is a normative legsl research bu using a qualitative method. Collecting data with interview with The official of Prison Serang and some narcotics prisoners. The result of this research concludes that remission for the prisoners of certain criminal acts categorized as a extra ordinary crime including the narcotics and psychotropic cases enforced differently regulated specifically in the Government Regulation No.99 of 2012 in addition to meet the requirement of good behavior, inmates must also have been serving a criminal sentence of more than 6 (six) months, must also be willing to cooperate with law inforcement to help dismantle the criminal case that done by them, also should have paid the full of compensation in accordance with the court decision. Remission is a fundamental rights that must be granted. And the prison of Serang have been conduct the implementation for the prisoners of narcotics and psychotropic based on Law No.12 of 1995. There is no discriminatory treatment for the prisoners to get their rights for remissions. The implementation of remission rights in Prison of Serang is not violated against the human rights

Positive thinking training for improving self-acceptance of children in correctional facility

Conflicting with the law will make them feel a lot of pressure and psychological changes like shame, regret, and unable to accept themselves. If they have positive thinking, they will easily accept their condition. This study aimed to observe the effect of positive thinking training in improving the self-acceptance of juveniles who were undergoing a period of correctional program. The subjects of this study included 24 juveniles at Class I Juvenile Correctional Facility Kutoarjo, all male aged 14-17 years with a minimum educational level of primary school, a minimum of 1-month correctional program, and first-time criminal sentence. Self-acceptance was measured using the RISA self-acceptance scale (2014). The research method used was an experimental method with the pretest posttest with control group design. The results of this study indicated that self-acceptance score of the subjects in the experimental group has increased after they received positive thinking training. It can be seen from the increase of the mean score from 33.58 with SD = 3,919 in the pre-test to 41.42 with SD = 6,259 in the post-test. It’s means that positive thinking training can effectively increase self-acceptance of children in LPKA Class I Kutoarjo.

Equal justice under law? Prosecutor demographics and the death penalty

AbstractPrior research has established that crime victims’ and defendants’ demographic traits affect the sentence that criminal defendants receive. In addition, previous studies have found that judges’ and juries’ biases affect the outcomes in criminal cases. Yet, despite significant scholarly attention to the effect of race and gender on criminal sentencing, no previous study has explored whether prosecutors’ demographic traits influence the outcome of criminal cases. This is surprising, given that prosecutors are responsible for determining what crimes defendants are charged with and whether to pursue the death penalty in eligible cases. Here, we utilize data on federal death penalty‐eligible cases and the prosecutors who tried those cases to explore whether federal prosecutors’ demographic traits have an effect on whether the death penalty is imposed. We find that both race and gender have statistically significant effects on whether a defendant receives the death penalty, even when case‐specific effects including victim and defendant characteristics are controlled for.

The Importance of Living Arrangements for Criminal Persistence and Desistance: A Novel Test of Exposure to Convicted Family Members

Leveraging the richness of population register data in Denmark, this study provides an in-depth examination of the residential situations of the formerly incarcerated over the first 3 years after prison. These data allow us to examine precisely who former prisoners reside with after release, and whether the characteristics of housemates, such as prior conviction status, and relationship type, such as familial ties, are associated with criminal reconviction. While Denmark has one of the lowest incarceration rates in the world, like many other Western countries, it is challenged by high recidivism rates among the formerly incarcerated. Using data on the population of all individuals released from prison between 1991 and 2014 and estimation via Cox proportional hazards models, we find that formerly incarcerated individuals who move into a residence with other individuals with criminal records have significantly greater hazards of reconviction, even after controlling for an extensive set of observed confounders. Residing with family members, particularly spouses, significantly reduces the likelihood of recidivism, but only if the family members do not have a recent criminal conviction. Results underscore the importance of housing arrangements and family ties during the post-release period.

A jury of scientists: Formal education in biobehavioral sciences reduces the odds of punitive criminal sentencing.

This study examines how formal education in biological and behavioral sciences may impact punishment intuitions (views on criminal sentencing, free will, responsibility, and dangerousness) in cases involving neurobiological evidence. In a survey experiment, we compared intuitions between biobehavioral science and non-science university graduates by presenting them with a baseline case without a neurobiological explanation for offending followed by one of two cases with a neurobiological explanation (described as either innate or acquired biological influences to offending). An ordinal logistic regression indicated that both science and non-science graduates selected significantly more severe punishments for the baseline case as compared to when an innate neurobiological explanation for offending was provided. However, across all cases, science graduates selected significantly less severe sentences than non-science graduates, and only science graduates' decisions were mediated by free will and responsibility attributions. Findings are discussed in relation to scientific understandings of behavior, the impact of science education on attitudes towards punishment, and potential criminal-legal implications.

CRIMINAL CONVICTION OF CHILD TRAFFIC OFFENDERS REVIEWED FROM THE JUVENILE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (hereinafter referred to as the SPPA Law) which is a formal criminal law for children specifically regulates punishment that can be imposed on children. The criminal sanctions stipulated in the SPPA Law are different from the criminal sanctions in the Criminal Code. The criminal sanctions contained in Article 71 do not include criminal sanctions of confinement and criminal sanctions of fines, nor does the SPPA Law specifically regulate criminal sanctions in lieu of imprisonment and fines. This is a problem related to children who commit criminal acts of traffic violations which in material law are threatened with imprisonment and fines. In this case, the criminal sanctions that can be imposed on children perpetrators of traffic violations are criminal sanctions contained in the SPPA Law by taking into account the principle of the best interests for children, as well as the regulations contained in the SPPA Law. The research method used in this study is a normative juridical research method, with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The collection of sources of legal materials, both primary and secondary, is carried out through legal literature studies, recording legal documents, laws and regulations and tracing the research results of others. The results of this study show that the criminal sanctions that can be imposed on children violating traffic crimes under the SPPA Law are criminal sanctions for warning, probation, and job training.

Childhood individual and family modifiable risk factors for criminal conviction: a 7-year cohort study from Brazil

Crime is a major public problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and its preventive measures could have great social impact. The extent to which multiple modifiable risk factors among children and families influence juvenile criminal conviction in an LMIC remains unexplored; however, it is necessary to identify prevention targets. This study examined the association between 22 modifiable individual and family exposures assessed in childhood (5–14 years, n = 2511) and criminal conviction at a 7-year follow-up (13–21 years, n = 1905, 76% retention rate) in a cohort of young people in Brazil. Population attributable risk fraction (PARF) was computed for significant risk factors. Criminal convictions were reported for 81 (4.3%) youths. Although most children living in poverty did not present criminal conviction (89%), poverty at baseline was the only modifiable risk factor significantly associated with crime (OR 4.14, 99.8% CI 1.38–12.46) with a PARF of 22.5% (95% CI 5.9–36.1%). It suggests that preventing children’s exposure to poverty would reduce nearly a quarter of subsequent criminal convictions. These findings highlight the importance of poverty in criminal conviction, as it includes several deprivations and suggest that poverty eradication interventions during childhood may be crucial for reducing crime among Brazilian youth.

To Err Is Human, Just Culture, Practice, and Liability in the Face of Nursing Error

More than 2 decades have passed since the launch of the modern patient safety movement. Despite this, medical errors continue to be a serious public health threat and leading cause of death. Leaders should continually commit to the safe reporting of errors, especially in light of the criminal trial, conviction, and sentencing of a former Tennessee nurse involved in a fatal medication error. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a systematic approach addressing just culture and error reporting by revisiting Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, just culture principles, practice considerations, and liability potentials.

Monitor, prevent problems related to sports wagering

LAS VEGAS — With more than two-thirds of states having legalized sports wagering and an estimated two-million Americans having a gambling disorder, four to six million struggling with problematic gambling, and 8–14% considered at-risk, the odds are pretty high that some of your student-athletes, coaches, and/or staff are dealing with a gambling problem. In fact, athletes are four times more likely to develop problem gambling habits than the general population. That's according to Mark Potter, who experienced this firsthand when he was a professional rugby player in the United Kingdom until a 12-year gambling disorder led to a suicide attempt and a criminal conviction that ended his career.

Juries must consider actual beliefs of opioid prescribers in criminal prosecutions

According to DEA regulations, pharmacists cannot “knowingly” dispense controlled substances pursuant to a prescription that was not issued for a “legitimate medical purpose” or was not issued by an individual practitioner acting “in the usual course of his professional practice.” This is generally referred to as the “corresponding responsibility” rule. If you find this language confusing, then you are in good company, along with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Fifteen years ago, they called the language “ambiguous” with “generalities susceptible to more precise definition and open to varying constructions.” On June 27, 2022, SCOTUS released a legal opinion that interpreted this language and that vacated the criminal convictions of two physicians who are alleged to have illegally prescribed opioids. This was one of the final opinions authored by Justice Stephen Breyer. The opinion is not an easy read, which is typical of Justice Breyer. The opinion restricts federal power, which is not typical of Justice Breyer. The opinion reports a 9–0 unanimous decision in favor of the physicians and adverse to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), which is virtually unheard of in recent times (both the unanimity and the adversity to DOJ). The SCOTUS case consolidated the appeals of an Alabama physician who was sentenced to 20 years in prison and a Wyoming physician who was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Both physicians contended that the judges presiding over their cases had erred by not allowing the juries to consider that the physicians did not subjectively believe they were prescribing opioids illegally. The government countered that an objective standard had been appropriately presented to the juries, and that the judges had not erred in rejecting subjective belief as a valid defense. The SCOTUS ruling does not consider the guilt or innocence of the physicians. The court considered only whether the physicians should be granted new trials due to an error by the judges in not allowing the juries to consider a subjective belief standard. The SCOTUS ruling criticized the government's position that “would turn a defendant's criminal liability on the mental state of a hypothetical ‘reasonable’ doctor, not on the mental state of the defendant himself or herself.” The court concluded that to obtain a criminal conviction, the government must prove that “a defendant knew or intended that his or her conduct was unauthorized.” The “objectively reasonable” standard was rejected by SCOTUS as inapplicable to the circumstance of opioid prescribing. This case is about physicians, but it is also about pharmacists. The DEA regulation states that a pharmacist cannot “knowingly” honor an unlawfully issued prescription. If a prescription is lawful under the SCOTUS interpretation (prescriber did not know or intend that her/his conduct was unauthorized), then there is nothing unlawful for a pharmacist to know of. The pharmacist's responsibility corresponds with that of the prescriber. A pharmacist cannot violate DEA regulations by knowingly honoring an illegal prescription if the prescription is legal. It is impossible for a pharmacist to know that a legal prescription is illegal if the prescription isn't illegal. The SCOTUS ruling applies to criminal prosecutions. The same standard that applies to physicians would extend to pharmacists in a criminal prosecution, because the regulation that was interpreted by SCOTUS applies to pharmacists as well as to physicians. Pharmacists who are criminally prosecuted for unlawful controlled substance dispensing would likely be allowed to assert the subjective belief defense. Whether the rationale of the SCOTUS ruling will be extended to civil cases related to the denial or revocation of a pharmacy's DEA registration is an open question. Many legal precedents have been expanded beyond the narrow constraints of the original case in which they were established. It is not a stretch to think that a pharmacist's subjective belief would now be relevant in DEA civil cases.

The Emergence of Sentence Guidelines in the Balkans – Should Albania Follow the Same Model?

Different countries have established different models and mechanisms to assist the judge in the difficult task of determining the criminal sentence. These approaches are influenced by the criminal justice system model, the role of the judge in criminal proceedings and, not infrequently, by priority issues that are not related to the conceptualization of the criminal justice system: corruption, professionalism of judges, etc. In countries that have a codified body of criminal law – as a rule, countries that belong to the civil law tradition, the criminal law sets the minimum and maximum ranges of the criminal punishment. Within these limits, it is up to the judge to determine the individualized sentence for each defendant, based on the principles and rules provided for by the criminal law. Different types of mechanisms have been established in countries that belong to the common law tradition, as the criminal law is not so inflexible in setting the ranges of punishment and the judge has much more discretion in determining the sentence, based on the rules of precedent. In some of these countries, sentencing guidelines are used. These guidelines are usually approved by the judges themselves and are not legally binding, but they gain application as a result of the precedent rule. In recent years, sentencing guidelines have been approved and applied in two of Albania's neighboring countries: Kosovo and North Macedonia. This paper will address the role of guidelines in criminal proceedings, the models they were based on, the reasons for introducing them, and how they were implemented in Kosovo and North Macedonia. Finally, we will argue whether the introduction of such a mechanism in Albania would be in harmony with the existing framework and beneficial, in general.

Analisis Makna Kewajiban Rehabilitasi Medis Terhadap Pecandu Narkotika

The application of sanctions on narcotics is quite serious, but in fact the perpetrators of crimes are increasing, and for convicts in practice it is inconclusive and prone to recidivism. This can be caused because the criminal conviction by the judge has no impact or is slow on the culprit. So far, judges tend to emphasize more on criminal sanctions, if it is worth the behavior of the perpetrator with the aim that the perpetrator does not repeat his behavior. This can be caused by the existence of a criminal conviction factor by a judge that does not have an impact or deferrent effect on the perpetrators. So far, criminal convictions by judges tend to prioritize criminal sanctions that are worth the perpetrator's actions, with the aim that the perpetrator does not repeat his actions. In general, drug addicts and victims of narcotics crimes have not received access to rehabilitation services, especially drug addicts and victims of narcotics crimes who are in prisons and detention centers. Therefore, the emphasis of the formulation in this study is how to analyze the significance of medical rehabilitation obligations for drug addicts. The methods used in this study are normative methods and approaches to the method of the statutory approach (Statue Approach) and Conceptual Approach (Conceptual Approach) The results of the study found that Makana Medical Rehabilitation Obligations Against Narcotic Addicts are "sick people" who are obliged to undergo treatment by placing them in medical rehabilitation and or social rehabilitation institutions. As a recommendation, the researcher is to the Government and the House of Representatives to add an explanation of narcotics addicts in Article 54 of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, by including the amount of medical rehabilitation financing provided to drug addicts in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Prior to the promulgation of the amount of medical rehabilitation financing, the provision of medical rehabilitation for drug addicts would be easier to implement, and to the community to increase participation in the prevention of narcotics addicts and the accessibility to the settlement of cases in litigation and non-litigation.

Assessing Public Support for Collateral and Other Consequences of Criminal Convictions

Amid the growing recognition of the limits of excessive criminal punishment, scholars have begun to assess public support for restrictive and punitive laws and other collateral consequences of a criminal conviction. Building on this work, we analyze data from an original survey of U.S. residents (N = 1,002) to assess support for 23 specific social, legal, and health consequences across 11 life domains, many of which hold important implications for desistance and life-course criminology. Descriptive analyses reveal that support for specific consequences and prohibitions varies greatly, yet it generally follows a similar pattern across conviction types. General linear regression models indicate that those who perceive society as more just, hold more punitive outlooks, and perceive a higher risk of crime victimization are more supportive of social and legal consequences. We discuss the findings’ implications for policy and practice within a society that may be in the beginning stages of a correctional turning point.
