    Abstract: P2P network lending, equity crowdfunding, entrusted wealth management, and private equity funds are essential industries in the field of Internet finance in China at present. However, some variants of these industries in practice, such as the direct or indirect collection of funds, illegal absorption of public deposits, fraudulent fund-raising, severely damages the legitimate rights and the interests of investors, endanger financial security and social stability, and they are also suspected of illegal fund-raising crimes. For judicial practice, P2P online lending and Internet entrusted financing are the areas where illegal fund-raising crimes happen most frequently. 2/3 illegal fund-raising crimes happened in recent years are relevant to P2P online lending and Internet entrusted financing. Illegal fund-raising crimes related to P2P online loans have the following traits: self-financing, “shadow banks,” self-insurance and credit enhancement, the establishment of capital pools, and pseudo-platform operations. The crime of illegal fund-raising in equity crowdfunding is mainly manifested in the collection of funds, financing for unspecified investors, and the problem of inducement. The crime of illegal fund-raising in entrusted wealth management is mainly to publicize financial information, explicit or implicit guarantee commitments, sales of wealth management products for unqualified investors, and to borrow legal forms for fund collection. The crime of illegal fund-raising in private equity funds is mainly not in conformity with the management regulations of private equity funds, to introduce unqualified investors, to implement a guaranteed return of principal and interest, and to break through the system of qualified investors, and so on. To promote the criminal governance of illegal fund-raising crimes in the Internet finance field, the judiciary should adjust the current single loose criminal policy into the one that combines leniency with rigidity, perfect the criminal law system of illegal fund-raising behaviors in the field of Internet finance, strengthen the connection between punishment and execution, explore specialized case-handling mechanism, and implement a case guidance system.

    The criminological profile of Hungarian small villages61-82en [1.32 MB - PDF]EPA-04201-00002-0050

    Abstract: The study aims to analyse the criminological profile of the smallest elements of the Hungarian settlement network. The criminological characteristics of the settlements correlate with geographic characteristics, location in the spatial structure, inherited economic drawbacks, distribution of income, migration and many other social and economic features. According to our hypothesis the above mentioned effects have an even stronger impact due to the weakness of their external connections. The research revealed that in general, small villages show a better but distinct criminological structure, compared to towns and cities. Besides it is also remarkable that the rate of known offenders is the highest in case of the smallest settlements. This confirms the hypothesis that the peripheral location and the cumulative disadvantages of small villages intensify the reproduction process of crime (mostly violent ones) but the offenders tend to choose bigger settlements to commit their crimes.
