  • Premenstrual syndrome as a Criminal defense
    Archives of Sexual Behavior, 1990
    Co-Authors: James W. Lewis
    Abstract:

    Premenstrual syndrome may be effective as an affirmative defense to a Criminal Charge if the defendant can show that (i) she was suffering from premenstrual syndrome at the time the crime was committed; and (ii) because of her condition, either that the Criminal act was an involuntary act or that at the time of the Criminal act she did not possess the mental state required by law for the commission of a crime. Premenstrual syndrome has been successfully pleaded as a Criminal defense in Great Britain but has not been tested in American Criminal courts. It may now be possible, however, because of the increase of behavioral, psychological, and physiological studies precisely characterizing premenstrual syndrome and elucidating the necessary criteria for its accurate diagnosis, for the appropriate defendant to assert this defense in an American court. This paper discusses (i) the use of recent scientific data to demonstrate the existence of premenstrual syndrome; (ii) the use of standardized psychological tests or physiological assays to demonstrate that the defendant suffers from premenstrual syndrome; and, (iii) the legal choices to be made and evidentiary hurdles that must be overcome in presenting a premenstrual syndrome defense.

  • Catching up faster data in digital crime using mobile devices
    Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2015
    Co-Authors: Changwoo Song, Kyungyong Chung
    Abstract:

    Mass storage media are becoming increasingly common due to the spread of smartphones to which new technologies are applied. Correspondingly, the amount of data collected from digital crime has considerably increased. Previously, if an investigator did not properly conduct the initial response, valuable evidence would be lost. Thus, collection of digital evidence within a short time frame is required. Further, in searches using data from the smartphones to gather evidence, evidence must be collected and analyzed quickly. Therefore, in this paper, a method is proposed for rapidly collecting data at a crime scene based on the type of Criminal Charge. Once implemented, our method can collect data by accounting for each feature of the software, providing rapid results through a pattern search. There is also a range of options available with parallel routines. Single or multiple options can be utilized depending on the investigator’s requirements.

  • forensic evidence collection procedures of smartphone in crime scene
    International Conference on IT Convergence and Security ICITCS, 2013
    Co-Authors: Changwoo Song, Kyungyong Chung
    Abstract:

    As the Smart phone becomes gradually generalized and expands its influence on daily life, the digital evidential matter could be an important clue to prove Criminal Charge in the forensic process of Criminal accident. Since the digital evidential matter could be easily spoiled, fabricated and disappeared, it needs to secure the Criminal related evidence promptly as applicable according to clear procedures when investigate the initial scene of accident. Thus, this paper induces forensic procedures and items which a digital forensic investigator should take when it seizes, searches and verifies the Smart phone in the scene of accident considering characteristics of the Smart phone and establishes a Criminal related search database and shows what kind of evidential matter for Criminal Charge could be collected through the applications implemented based on the said search database.

  • Criminal Charge or probation violation prosecutorial discretion and implications for research in Criminal court processing
    Criminology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Rodney F Kingsnorth, Randall Macintosh, Sandra Sutherland
    Abstract:

    Feeney et al. (1983) observe that arrests not resulting in convictions may nonetheless receive substantial punishment through reliance on alternative, less formal, means of imposing sanctions. Utilizing a sample of 1427 domestic violence cases supplemented by interviews with prosecutors, we analyze this phenomenon. We conclude that the majority of cases disposed by such means originate as new Criminal Charges, which are then rejected or dismissed in favor of resolution through use of the prosecutor's power to initiate probation violation hearings. In almost all instances, these cases result in a jail or prison sentence, underlining that outcomes such as “rejection” and “dismissal” are not synonymous with case termination. Failure to appreciate this distinction can lead to serious measurement error.
