Zainal Amin Ayub (a)*, Zuryati Mohamed Yusoff (b) *Corresponding author (a) School of Law, College of Law, Government & International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia, [email protected], +604 928 8073 (b) School of Law, College of Law, Government & International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia, [email protected], +604 928 8089 Abstract The phenomenon of online social networking during the age of the web creates an era known as the ‘Online Social Network Era’. Whilst the advantages of the online social network are numerous, the drawbacks of online social network are also worrying. The explosion of the use of online social networks creates avenues for cybercriminals to commit crimes online, due to the rise of information technology and Internet use, which results in the growth of the Internet society which includes the children. The children, who are in need of ‘extra’ protection, are among the community in the online social network, and they are exposed to the cybercrimes which may be committed against them. This article seeks to explore and analyse the position on the protection of the children in the online society; and the focus is in Malaysia while other jurisdictions are referred as source of critique. The position in Malaysia is looked into before the introduction of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

HUMAN RIGHTS In relation to human rights issues, contrary to an earlier apparent concession by the Public Prosecutor that the Human Rights Act 1978 applied to the Pitcairn Islands, it would appear not to have been extended to them, at least in so far as the necessary protocols to the Convention have not been signed to enable Pitcairners to appear before the European Court: R (Quark Fisheries Ltd) v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs [2005] 3 WLR 7 837 (Tab ).

  • Report Into the Law and Procedures in Serious Sexual Offences in Northern Ireland Part 1 Sir John Gillen
    Gillen Review Report into the law and procedures in serious sexual offences in Northern Ireland Part 1 Sir John Gillen gillenreview.org Gillen Review Report into the law and procedures in serious sexual offences in Northern Ireland Part 1 Sir John Gillen Preface And if there may seem to be a weight of tradition against change, at least it is worth remembering that the apparent heresies of one generation become the orthodoxies of the next. The ultimate validity of any social measure will depend not upon its antecedents but upon its current and future utility. Sir Owen Woodhouse1 Sexual crime is one of the worst violations of human dignity. It can deeply traumatise the victims, their family and even whole communities. Serious sexual offences in general and rape in particular are crimes of alarming prevalence. They are unique in the way they strike at the bodily integrity and self-respect of the victim. All genders, children and people of all ages, classes and ethnicities can become victims. It happens across all cultures and in some cultures, including here in Northern Ireland, shame and social pressures will prevent it being reported. These crimes are a blight on our society with profound consequences for victims and for society at large. Deep concerns about how serious sexual offences are processed and determined have been expressed for several years. In the wake of recent trials of such offences both here and in England and Wales, public disquiet about the law and procedures governing serious sexual offences has clearly grown. Hence the Criminal Justice Board, which exists to oversee reform, change and openness in the criminal justice system, commissioned me on 24 April 2018 to undertake an independent review of arrangements around delivery of justice in serious sexual offences.

  • Issues Paper on Cyber-Crime Affecting Personal Safety, Privacy and Reputation Including Cyber-Bullying (LRC IP 6-2014)
    Issues Paper on Cyber-crime affecting personal safety, privacy and reputation including cyber-bullying (LRC IP 6-2014) BACKGROUND TO THIS ISSUES PAPER AND THE QUESTIONS RAISED This Issues Paper forms part of the Commission’s Fourth Programme of Law Reform,1 which includes a project to review the law on cyber-crime affecting personal safety, privacy and reputation including cyber-bullying. The criminal law is important in this area, particularly as a deterrent, but civil remedies, including “take-down” orders, are also significant because victims of cyber-harassment need fast remedies once material has been posted online.2 The Commission seeks the views of interested parties on the following 5 issues. 1. Whether the harassment offence in section 10 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997 should be amended to incorporate a specific reference to cyber-harassment, including indirect cyber-harassment (the questions for which are on page 13); 2. Whether there should be an offence that involves a single serious interference, through cyber technology, with another person’s privacy (the questions for which are on page 23); 3. Whether current law on hate crime adequately addresses activity that uses cyber technology and social media (the questions for which are on page 26); 4. Whether current penalties for offences which can apply to cyber-harassment and related behaviour are adequate (the questions for which are on page 28); 5. The adequacy of civil law remedies to protect against cyber-harassment and to safeguard the right to privacy (the questions for which are on page 35); Cyber-harassment and other harmful cyber communications The emergence of cyber technology has transformed how we communicate with others.

INTRODUCTION Compared to most types of crime, white collar crime is a relatively new phenomenon. After several high profile cases in the mid-1900's in the United States, white collar crime emerged into the national spotlight. The idea materialized that there should be a separate and distinct category of crime aside from the everyday common crimes, like murder or burglary. More recently, large-scale scandals and frauds have been uncovered worldwide

  • Difficulties with Drug Conspiracies in Singapore: Can You Conspire to Traffic Drugs to Yourself?
    UCLA UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal Title Difficulties With Drug Conspiracies in Singapore: Can You Conspire to Traffic Drugs to Yourself? Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/30x226bn Journal UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal, 37(1) Author Yang, Kenny Publication Date 2020 DOI 10.5070/P8371048805 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California DIFFICULTIES WITH DRUG CONSPIRACIES IN SINGAPORE: Can You Conspire to Traffic Drugs to Yourself? Kenny Yang Abstract If Person A delivers drugs to Person B at the latter’s request, Person A is liable for drug trafficking—a serious offense in many jurisdictions. However, the liability of Person B for drug trafficking is unclear as much may depend on Person B’s intention with the drugs. The Singaporean Courts recently had to grapple with this issue in Liew Zheng Yang v. Public Prosecutor and Ali bin Mohamad Bahashwan v. Public Prosecu- tor and other appeals. Prior to these two cases, the position in Singapore was clear—Person B should be liable for drug trafficking as an accessory to Person A, in line with Singapore’s strong stance against drug offenses. However, since these cases, the Singaporean Courts have taken a con- trary position and held that Person B may not be liable if the drugs were for his/her own consumption. This Article examines the law with respect to this drug conspiracy offense in Singapore, looking at its history, the primary legislation and similar cases. It also scrutinizes the judicial reasoning in the two cases above and considers whether this can be reconciled with the Courts’ prior position on the issue.
