“…150 The minimum non-parole period on a life sentence for murder may not be less than 10 years or 17 years in the 'most serious cases'. 151 It is only in 'limited circumstances when a finite sentence may be imposed'. 152 There is no legislative guidance on the impact of the predominant aggressor's conduct and/or provocation in relation to the assessment of whether to impose a life sentence, but the Court of Appeal in Hamidzadeh 153 and Tauleki 154 confirmed that both are potentially relevant mitigating factors.…”

‘His home is his castle. And mine is a cage’: a new partial defence for primary victims who kill

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the Crimes Amendment (Abolition of Defensive Homicide) Act 2014 which had the effect of repealing the Australian state of Victoria’s only general ‘partial defence’ of defensive homicide, and replaced the existing statutory self-defence in murder/manslaughter provisions and general common law self-defence rules with a single test. The abolition of defensive homicide means there is now no general ‘partial defence’ to accommodate cases falling short of self-defence. The change is likely to mean that some primary victims will find themselves bereft of a defence. This is the experience in New Zealand where the Family Violence Death Review Committee recently recommended the reintroduction of a partial defence, postabolition of provocation in 2009. Primary victims in New Zealand are being convicted of murder and sentences are double those issued pre-2009. Both jurisdictions require that a new partial defence be introduced, and accordingly, an entirely new defence predicated on a fear of serious violence and several threshold filter mechanisms designed to accommodate the circumstances of primary victims is advanced herein. The proposed framework draws upon earlier recommendations of the Law Commission for England and Wales, and a comprehensive review of the operation of ss 54 and 55 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, but the novel framework rejects the paradoxical loss of self-control requirement and sexed normative standard operating within that jurisdiction. The recommendations are complemented by social framework evidence and mandatory jury directions, modelled on the law in Victoria. A novel interlocutory appeal procedure designed to prevent unnecessary appellate court litigation is also outlined. This bespoke model provides an appropriate via media and optimal solution to the problems faced by primary victims in Victoria and New Zealand.

This paper presents an optimal Pay-Per-View (PPV) price decision model for maximizing an Internet based Video-On-Demand (VOD) service provider's revenues, taking into account the service provider's service quality and consumers' willingness to pay. The model considers multi-class VOD services with differentiated qualities and determines the optimal price for each class through simulations. The simulation results show that as long as all the multi-class services have non-zero demands, the differential pricing system provides more revenues than the uniform pricing system that prevails in the current VOD market. To test the robustness of the model, simulations were performed with gradually increasing customer demands or system workloads. The simulation results show that even with substantial customer demands or system workloads, self-adjustment mechanism of the model works and the system reaches a stable status in equilibrium. This paper also presents a numerical example of guaranteeing Quality-of-Service (QoS) through pricing strategies as a short-term measure.
