Drawing on the experience of prosecuting at the international level in multicultural environments
This contribution offers a practitioner’s reflection on the cultural challenges of international criminal prosecutions, drawing on the author’s experience in the early genocide trials at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and as Deputy Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Rather than a formal analysis, it distils practical, common-sense lessons about working in court with eyewitnesses who were victims and survi…
Influence Policing: Domestic Digital Influence Campaigns and Algorithmic Strategic Communications in UK Law Enforcement and Homeland Security
This paper conceptualizes an emerging model of algorithmic policing; ‘influence policing’. This harnesses the affordances of Internet platforms to conduct domestic digital influence campaigns for crime prevention. These campaigns use sophisticated targeted messaging to directly ‘nudge’ behaviour and shape the culture of specific groups. By targeting people using micro-level behavioural, personal-interest and location-based data, influence campaig…
Influence government, platform power and the patchwork profile: Exploring the appropriation of targeted advertising infrastructures for government behaviour change campaigns
The targeted digital advertising infrastructures on which the business models of the social media platform economy rest have been the subject of significant academic and political interest. In this paper, we explore and theorise the appropriation of these infrastructures — designed for commercial and political advertising — by the state. In the U.K., public sector bodies have begun to repurpose the surveillance and messaging capacities of these s…
La justice des vaincus: Les procès pour crimes de guerre après la Première Guerre mondiale
Conférence 1 – La justice des vaincus : les procès pour crimes de guerre après la Première Guerre mondiale 4 juin 2019 L’histoire de la justice pénale internationale se concentre de manière injustifiée sur Nuremberg comme point de départ de la matière. Il y a pourtant eu des milliers de procès pour crimes de guerre qui se sont déroulés après la Première Guerre mondiale. Par exemple, entre 1921 et 1927, la Cour du Reich à Leipzig a ouvert environ …
Surveillance, Discretion and Governance in Automated Welfare: The Case of the German Allegro System
Several scholarly studies and journalistic investigations have found that automated decision-making in welfare systems burdens claimants by forecasting their behaviour, targeting them for sanctions and surveillance and punishing them without revealing the underlying mechanisms driving such decisions. This article develops an analytical framework combining three areas of concern regarding automation: how it might introduce surveillance and social …
The seasonality of infections in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia: A 21-year retrospective evaluation of the seasonal patterns of six endemic pathogens
An understanding of the seasonality of infections informs public health strategies and assists clinicians in their management of patients with undifferentiated illness. The seasonality of infections is driven by a variety of environmental and human factors; however, the role of individual climatic factors has garnered much attention. This study utilises Poisson regression models to assess the seasonality of six important infections in tropical Au…
Privacy Worlds: Exploring Values and Design in the Development of the Tor Anonymity Network
This paper explores, through empirical research, how values, engineering practices, and technological design decisions shape one another in the development of privacy technologies. We propose the concept of "privacy worlds" to explore the values and design practices of the engineers of one of the world's most notable (and contentious) privacy technologies: the Tor network. By following Tor's design and development we show a privacy world emerging…
Influence government: Exploring practices, ethics, and power in the use of targeted advertising by the UK state
We have identified an emerging tool being used by the UK government across a range of public bodies in the service of public policy - the online targeted advertising infrastructure and the practices, consultancy firms, and forms of expertise which have grown up around it. This reflects an intensification and adaptation of a broader 'behavioural turn' in the governmentality of the UK state and the increasing sophistication of everyday government c…
Dairy Fears: Moral Panic around Food Contamination Scandals in Contemporary Sri Lanka
A major food contamination scandal occurred in Sri Lanka in 2013 after it was alleged that Fonterra dairy products contained chemicals known to have a negative effect on human health. This crisis was influenced by unique factors that, I argue, are particular to the social and cultural context of Sri Lanka. In this article, I will be focusing on several such factors: (a) specific considerations about the Sri Lankan dairy industry; (b) the growing …
Revolution remixed? The emergence of Open Content Film-making as a viable component within the mainstream film industry
Our previous study of the Open Content Film-making (OCF) community Revolution Postponed? Tracing the development and limitations of open content filmmaking, Information, Communication & Society, (10.1080/1369118X.2018.1464590) had shown how early expectations that Creative Commons (CC) licences would enable a viable alternative to mainstream film production, comparable to free/libre open source software (FLOSS), were challenged, in particular, by…
Revolution postponed? Tracing the development and limitations of open content filmmaking
Networked information technologies have brought about extensive changes in the production and distribution of creative cultural work. Inspired by the widespread success of Free-Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS), many proponents of open access advocate reconceptualisation of existing legal protection frameworks in creative works. This paper traces the attempted appropriation of Creative Commons (CC) licences by filmmakers and the consequent forma…

Leora Bilsky, The Holocaust, Corporations, and the Law: Unfinished Business
Leora Bilsky has written an impressive book entitled The Holocaust, Corporations, and the Law: Unfinished Business. The book addresses corporate responsibility for human rights violations, focusing on so-called ‘transitional Holocaust litigation’, which consists of two proceedings: a Swiss case and a German case.1 Nudged by an American court, the Swiss case was settled for 1.25 billion USD based on the discovery that Swiss banks deliberately fail…
Anti‐Muslim hate speech and displacement narratives: Case studies from Sri Lanka and Australia
Muslim communities have frequently been the victim of vilification and discrimination in Australia and the broader Asian region. This article discusses and compares the narratives around Muslim vilification in Australia and Sri Lanka. Despite the fact that these two nations are vastly different in size, demographics and cultural history, I will argue that there are remarkable similarities in how Muslims are subject to attack in both nations. The …
Adapting, Pilot Testing and Evaluating the Kick.it App to Support Smoking Cessation for Smokers with Severe Mental Illness: A Study Protocol
(1) Background: While the prevalence of tobacco smoking in the general population has declined, it remains exceptionally high for smokers with severe mental illness (SMI), despite significant public health measures. This project aims to adapt, pilot test and evaluate a novel e-health smoking cessation intervention to assist relapse prevention and encourage sustained smoking cessation for young adults (aged 18−29 years) with SMI. (2) Methods: Usin…
Climate Change and Schools: Environmental Hazards and Resiliency
The changing climate is creating additional challenges in maintaining a healthy school environment in the United States (U.S.) where over 50 million people, mostly children, spend approximately a third of their waking hours. Chronic low prioritization of funds and resources to support environmental health in schools and lack of clear regulatory oversight in the U.S. undergird the new risks from climate change. We illustrate the extent of risk and…

Vegetarianism and Animal Ethics in Contemporary Buddhism
Buddhism is widely known to advocate a stance of total pacifism towards all sentient beings, and because of this, it is often thought that Buddhist doctrine would stipulate that non-violent food practices, such as vegetarianism, be mandatory. However, the Pāli source materials do not encourage vegetarianism and most Buddhists do not practice it. Using research based on ethnographic evidence and interviews, this book discusses this issue by presen…
Evolution of Medical Students' Understanding of Systems-Based Practice: A Qualitative Account
Reflective writing is a useful tool in medical education to analyze student experiences and measure development of certain skills. This tool is particularly useful in identifying skill components of systems-based practice. These skills are necessary for any practicing physician, but are of particular importance as they are a required residency competency. There is now additional focus on systems-based practice with the passage of the Patient Prot…
Muslim–Buddhist Conflict in Contemporary Sri Lanka
The end of the civil war in 2009 heralded hope that a new era of peace and inter-ethnic cooperation might be possible in post-war Sri Lanka. This hope now seems, at best, mere wishful thinking, as this article highlights an emerging conflict between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and Sri Lankan Muslims. Through detailed analysis of online social data, argued evidence is provided that Muslim Sri Lankans are now at the receiving end of Islamaphobi…

Indoor Air Quality Survey of Nail Salons in Boston
Employees in nail salons, largely Vietnamese immigrant women in Boston, are exposed to a range of volatile organic chemicals from the products used in salons, including solvents, glues and polishes. Some of these chemicals have the potential to cause short and long-term adverse health effects. Only limited research has been performed on assessing occupational exposures. This project aimed to characterize total volatile organic compound (TVOC) and…

Overdetermined Atrocities
An event is overdetermined if there are multiple sufficient causes for its occurrence. A firing squad is a classic illustration. If eight soldiers are convened to execute a prisoner, they can all walk away afterwards in the moral comfort that “I didn’t really make a difference; it would have happened without me.” The difficulty is, if we are only responsible for making a difference to harm occurring in the world, none of the soldiers is responsib…
The role of academic publishers in shaping the development of Web 2.0 services for scholarly communication
This paper examines how two contrasting academic publishers are responding to the opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 to innovate their services. Our findings highlight the need to take seriously the role of publishers in the move towards a vision of more rapid and open scholarly communication and to understand the factors that shape their role as intermediaries in the innovation pathways that may be needed to achieve it

Public Safety and Private Police
Among the most important duties of public administrators is that of securing public safety-police and fire protection. Today, the major question confronting administrators, police officials, and the public is the provision of public safety at a level that is both financially acceptable and appropriate to the needs of the community. In recent years, the major barometers of crime have fallen somewhat.' But these marginal decreases have not persuade…
Economic Opportunity or Hardship? The Causes of Geographic Mobility on the Agricultural Frontier, 1860–1880
Historians disagree about whether geographic mobility on the frontier reflected economic hardship or opportunity because of the inability to observe the outcomes of non-persisters. This article uses a new sample of frontier families linked between the 1860, 1870, and 1880 U.S. censuses to study mobility and wealth accumulation. Using the incidence of Confederate guerilla warfare in frontier counties to generate exogenous migration, I find the eff…

The End of ‘Modes of Liability’ for International Crimes
Modes of liability, such as ordering, instigation, superior responsibility, and joint criminal liability, are arguably the most-discussed topics in modern international criminal justice. In recent years, a wide range of scholars have rebuked some of these modes of liability for compromising basic concepts in liberal notions of blame attribution, thereby reducing international defendants to mere instruments for the promotion of wider sociopolitica…

Gendering Africana Studies:Insights from Anna Julia Cooper Shirley Moody-Turner (bio) and James Stewart (bio) In 1886, at the age of twenty-eight, Anna Julia Cooper stood before the black male clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church and argued that the issues affecting black women and poor and working-class African Americans needed to be placed at the center of racial uplift efforts. The image of the young but resolute Cooper standing at the ce…
Nerdy, Trendy or Healthy? Configuring the Internet Café
This article analyses how internet cafés, understood as technosocial spaces, are configured in the intersection of human and non-human actants. Based on empirical studies in Scotland and Norway, the article shows how internet cafés are not just adapting a universal concept in the process of configuration, but that some shared images are played with in different ways. The nerdy, trendy and healthy are translocal images that are played with in the …

Racial Identity Production Dynamics and Persisting Wealth Differentials: Integrating Neo-Institutionalist Perspectives into Stratification Economics
This study advances the analysis of factors contributing to the persistence of the black-white racial wealth gap using insights from Institutional Economics and Stratification Economics. The analysis challenges discourses trumpeting the emergence of a post-racial society in which previous barriers to attaining equal economic outcomes have been eliminated. It is argued that the post-racial rhetoric conveys inaccurate information to agents regardin…
The Changing Role of the Catholic Priest and His Ministry in an Inner City Context: A Study in Role Change
The work of the priest in the inner city is characterized by the mark of controversy. This study is primarily exploratory in design, the purpose of which is to ascertain some crucial factors that influence both the work and the person of the priest. The findings point to considerable role strain on the part of the inner city priest. Based on the findings, the author proposes several hypotheses for directing future research

Towards a single definition of armed conflict in international humanitarian law: A critique of internationalized armed conflict
The strict division of international humanitarian law into rules applicable in international armed conflict and those relevant to armed conflicts not of an international nature is almost universally criticized. Even though attempts to abandon the distinction were made at every stage of negotiation of the Geneva Conventions and their Protocols, calls for a single body of international humanitarian law have since died out. This article revives thos…

Strength characteristics of illinois coal combustion by‐product: PCC dry bottom ash
The coal combustion by‐product, dry bottom ash, originates from the burning of pulverized coal to produce electricity. Currently, almost all of the pulverized coal combustion (PCC) dry bottom ash is being dumped into ash ponds and landfills. Some of the ash ponds are reaching their maximum capacity and there is an immediate need for alternative measures to either dispose of or utilize the coal combustion by‐products for construction purposes.
