Although a part of the property crime rate can be explained by predatory crime committed by drug users, research often recommends not to enforce against drug crime, because law enforcement resource allocations accompanying strong drug law enforcement lead to more property crime.

The Android framework utilizes a permission-based security model, which is essentially a variation of the ACL-based access control mechanism. This security model provides controlled access to various system resources. Access control systems are known to be vulnerable to anomalies in security policies, such as inconsistency. In this work, we focus on inconsistent security enforcement within the ...

Here we attempt to h...
