Nor is outright prevarication by prosecutors the only danger here. "[l]t is even possible that an attorney may lie to himself in an effort to convince himself that his motives are legal." A prosecutor's own conscious or unconscious racism may lead him easily to the conclusion that a prospective black juror is "sullen."or "distant," a characterization that would not have come to his mind if a white juror had acted identically.

By failing to acknowledge the link between the design of our political institutions and growing levels of anti‐political sentiment, the restoration and renewal programme risks falling into a trap of its own making. Involving the public from the outset in an open review of the (re)design options for Westminster—in a positive and confident conversation—ensures the best opportunity for meaningful engagement between the public and the future of their democracy.

IT risk has matured as a discipline, and in the next decade we can expect the pace to accelerate, driven in large part by regulatory, insurance, and customer requirements. This article discusses the evolution of IT risk measurement from ordinal scale, verbal risk labels to more rigorous, actuarial-inspired methods for ascribing financial losses to IT security incidents. These methods are being called cyber risk quantification (CRQ) and are quickly becoming a major component of an organization's integrated risk management strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Crime prevention and its discourse in the USA has been a series of fits and starts since at least the late 1990s. There continues to exist an absence of any driving force giving direction to a true prevention movement. Most major initiatives that could be considered “prevention” tend to be gut level responses by criminal justice system actors to address existing offending (tertiary prevention) rather than identifying emerging opportunities or prospective problems and developing/initiating true primary or secondary preventive actions. When attempts are made to eliminate initial acts or opportunities to act, there is a marked lack of follow through, leaving only halfhearted attempts. This article attempts to illustrate this failure and the reasons for the failure, and makes suggestions for improving primary and secondary prevention in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The American public can count on a few things during the presidential election season. First, candidates will take a moral high ground and forswear mudslinging. Before long however, they will proceed to engage in nasty accusations against their opponents. Subsequently, news pundits will wring their hands and claim (erroneously) that this is the most mean-spirited election ever. Among the many accusations candidates hurl at one another is the particularly damning charge of "flip-flopper." While some accusations of flip-flopping may be deserved--and our system of primary elections undoubtedly encourages candidates' prevarications--often accusations of flip-flopping tarnish candidates for having nuanced views on complicated issues or for changing their minds over time.

The article discusses the prevarication legal principle, suborbital flights, and commercial space travelers as of September 2012, focusing on an analysis of delimitation in regards to the boundaries between sovereign airspace and outer space. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) issuance of a report in March 2010 on airspace traffic management and point-to-point (PTP) commercial space travel is addressed, along with an examination of the customary rule of international law.

We make a series of recommendations for focusing research on personality test faking. Overall we suggest that a focus on the response process that test takers go through will accelerate our understanding of faking behavior. We argue that the decision-making process for faking must be simple and dependent on a modest set of decision rules or heuristics. The set of heuristics used by any given test taker will, in turn, be the result of test taker goals and situational press. By focusing in on what the test taker is doing, we will avoid adopting the wrong frame of reference and, we hope, make ever more rapid progress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses a legal case on judicial responsibility in the early 19th century against the judges of the Audiencia de Lima, the court of Lima, Peru. It examines the accusations of prevarication, bribery, and general misconduct by the Peruvian judges. The author analyzes the influence of political changes on judicial responsibility as well as the relationship between politics and law during this time period. The impact of the legal case and the accusations regarding judicial responsibility on the legal system of the 21st century in Peru is also explored.

Kiarostami continues to be an enigma for most cinephiles partly due to his own conscious attempts at concealment and prevarication. The article attempts to clarify his political, ideological and philosophical positions and contextualize his output within the dynamics of Iranian capitalism. Beginning with an investigation of his film techniques (including his use of framing, sound, image and music) I will discuss his attitude toward nationalism, psychology and religion. I end by suggesting reasons for his popularity outside Iran. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
