Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This work argues that aspects of Dworkin's theory of law substantially narrow the continuum of criminal procedural rules available to a democratic state. Dworkin's theory presupposes a democratic state that inter alia precludes the use of compelled statements as evidence in criminal prosecutions; that requires the prosecuting authority to bear a high burden of proof; and that ensures citizens are not convicted with evidence too untrustworthy enough to prove guilt to a high degree of certainty. These requirements, when examined through the lens of Canada's existing criminal justice system, appear to require that system to incorporate additional procedural and evidentiary rules, including a corroboration requirement for all criminal offenses, and broader appellate review of convictions on questions of fact.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
