Can Cyberspace Be Just?

The capacity and availability of computers has been increasing exponentially, and people are connected with others around the world in ways unparalleled in history. The web is J.S. Mill's dream machine to the extent that it enhances people's freedom of expression, pursuit of projects, and interaction with others. But, freedom can come at a cost to justice, and we need to be cautious when confronting concentrations of power and limitations of access in cyberspace as well as understanding some special features of cyberspace such as the invisibility factor and the unreality factor. Ultimately, the freedom of cyberspace may provide the best defense of justice in cyberspace

The Amorphous Nature of Hackers: An Exploratory Study

In this work, we aim to better understand outsider perspectives of the hacker community through a series of situation based survey questions. By doing this, we hope to gain insight into the overall reputation of hackers from participants in a wide range of technical and non-technical backgrounds. This is important to digital forensics since convicted hackers will be tried by people, each with their own perception of who hackers are. Do cyber crimes and national security issues negatively affect people’s perceptions of hackers? Does hacktivism and information warfare positively affect people’s perception of hackers? Do individual personality factors affect one’s perception of hackers? To answer these questions in a systematic manner, we created two hypotheses. The first hypothesis tested participants’ response in 9 scenarios whereas the second hypothesis tested the participants’ response based on their scores on the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Inventory (NEO) personality subscale. In brief, our results were indicative of how personality traits could influence perceptions of hackers and hacktivism. Possibilities for future research and implications for legal and criminal justice policy are discussed

Between law and the nation state:Novel representations of the refugee

Given the degraded profile of the refugee in contemporary discourse, it is tempting to seek alternatives from a rich tradition of literary tropes of exile.

Ultimately, the spell in which refugees find themselves trapped today can be broken only by opening up a space of politics in which the refugee herself can be heard
