  • False Statements and Perjury: an Overview of Federal Criminal Law
    False Statements and Perjury: An Overview of Federal Criminal Law Charles Doyle Senior Specialist in American Public Law May 11, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 98-808 False Statements and Perjury: An Overview of Federal Criminal Law Summary Federal courts, Congress, and federal agencies rely upon truthful information in order to make informed decisions. Federal law therefore proscribes providing the federal courts, Congress, or federal agencies with false information. The prohibition takes four forms: false statements; perjury in judicial proceedings; perjury in other contexts; and subornation of perjury. Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, the general false statement statute, outlaws material false statements in matters within the jurisdiction of a federal agency or department. It reaches false statements in federal court and grand jury sessions as well as congressional hearings and administrative matters but not the statements of advocates or parties in court proceedings. Under Section 1001, a statement is a crime if it is false, regardless of whether it is made under oath. In contrast, an oath is the hallmark of the three perjury statutes in Title 18. The oldest, Section 1621, condemns presenting material false statements under oath in federal official proceedings. Section 1623 of the same title prohibits presenting material false statements under oath in federal court proceedings, although it lacks some of Section 1621’s traditional procedural features, such as a two-witness requirement. Subornation of perjury, barred in Section 1622, consists of inducing another to commit perjury. All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although Section 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of the various federal sex offenses.

One will consider domains where individual behavior presents some stable characteristics over time, and where the individual actions can be observed through events in a data stream. Event patterns will be characterized and used as a proxy to individual behavior and actions. As in many domains, behavior does not remain static but evolves over time; one will therefore consider the sliding window model, making the assumption that behavior is stable during the considered time window. This work will cover the detection of the specific characteristics of the individual and what distinguishes his behavior from that of all other individuals.

  • FELIX the NEWSPAPER of IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16Th May 1980 Issue No
    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.

  • Auction Fraud Detection Using SVM-Based Supervised Learning
    AUCTION SHILL DETECTION FRAMEWORK BASED ON SVM A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science University of Regina By Swati Ganguly Regina, Saskatchewan December, 2016 Copyright 2016: Swati Ganguly UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Swati Ganguly, candidate for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science, has presented a thesis titled, Auction Shill Detection Framework Based on SWM, in an oral examination held on December 9, 2016. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Eman Almehdawe, Faculty of Business Administration Supervisor: Dr. Samira Sadaoui, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Malek Mouhoub, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Lisa Fan, Department of Computer Science Chair of Defense: Dr. Yang Zhao, Department of Mathematcis and Statistics ABSTRACT Online auctioning has attracted serious in-auction fraud, such as shill bidding, given the huge amount of money involved and the anonymity of users. Due to the fact that shill bidding is difficult to detect as well as to prove, very few researchers have been successful in designing online shill detection systems that can be adopted by auction sites. We introduce an efficient SVM-based two-phased In-Auction Fraud Detection (IAFD) model. This supervised model is first trained offline for identifying ‘Normal’ and ‘Suspicious’ bidders. For this process, we identify a collection of the most relevant fraud classification features rather than uncertain or general features, like feedback ratings.

Lying, Misleading, and Falsely Denying: How Moral Concepts Inform the Law of Perjury, Fraud, and False Statements by STUART P. GREEN* Introduction The term "legal moralism" has traditionally referred to the view that it is permissible to use government sanctions, including criminal sanctions, to enforce prohibitions on conduct that is immoral but not directly harmful (or even offensive) to others or self. Legal moralists of this stripe thus embrace the anti-liberal view that the state may legitimately criminalize acts such as adultery, incest, and prostitution, even when performed in private by consenting adults.' In recent years, however, "legal moralism" has also come to mean something else. The term is now frequently used to refer to the view that, as Dan Kahan has put it, "law is suffused with morality and, ' Associate Professor of Law, Louisiana State University.
