The map of the city: putting an Asian face on crime

Article Abstract:

International crime has traversed the traditional cultural and demographic barriers of Asian countries. Organized crime had been integrated to the social environment of most Asian countries where criminal organizations are considered as a vital contributor to economic progress. Corruption and manipulation of the government had steadily enhanced the power and influence of organized sex and drug syndicates in the Asian region. An international organization that possesses sufficient power to enforce global laws will eliminate the need for international crime organizations.

Intellectual property law, technology and our probable future

Article Abstract:

The legalities of information property are not applicable in the virtual society of the information superhighway or cyberspace. A scenario wherein copyrights are given as licenses for an idea will produce a virtual society that is characterized by the emergence of computer hackers. The business-as-usual scenario will eliminate cultural discourse and enhance the mass production of intellectual ideas with rampant theft and criminality. A communitarian scenario without property laws eliminates theft and criminality and social fragmentation.

The emergence of new crimes that are due to technological advances should be prevented by implementing new regulatory laws. The judiciary should also maintain order in the new cyberspace society by enforcing electronic laws and regulations.
