解读司法领域的民意——由邱兴华案引发的思考

目前我国,民意在与司法的碰撞中经常受到更多的尊重,这既有其正当性的一面,也有其与现代法治精神相悖的一面。对民意的尊重一定要以坚守法律至上的司法理念为前提,在此基础上,糅合国内司法现状将民意进行合理的本土化改造,让其在司法中得以充分的表达和合理的吸纳。     

Drugs Around the Corner: Domestic Drug Markets and Violence in Colombia and Mexico

Over the past decade, drug consumption has increased in Colombia and Mexico, countries traditionally concerned with drug production and trafficking. Governments and observers have associated this growth with spikes in violence. Drawing on drug consumption surveys and fieldwork in four cities, this study argues that contrary to this perception, there is no automatic connection between domestic drug markets and violence. Violence depends on whether large drug‐trafficking organizations (DTOs) control low‐level street dealers and on whether those DTOs have a market monopoly at the local level. When dealers are independent, violence might be sporadic, but when DTOs control dealers, violence can explode (given competition between DTOs) or implode (if one organization holds a monopoly). Control over dealers provides DTOs not only income but also informants and armed muscle. This article also shows that domestic drug markets are not new, and have grown incrementally in the past two decades.     

公安机关内部监督机制的根本改造——从遏制刑讯逼供的角度

我国公安机关通过纪检、监察、法制、督察、信访等内部监督部门的职能作用,对刑讯逼供的防范发挥了一定的作用,但由于警察自己调查自己的动力不足,现行内部监督机制在实际运行中弊端明显。因此,应该借鉴香港监警会的思路,通过外部力量的引入促成内部监督的根本改造,使得公安机关内部监督的结果不再成为终局的结论。

对法不容情的批判性解读——以容隐制度与亲属拒证权为视角

通过对中国的容隐制度和西方的亲属拒证权进行考察发现,亲属容隐制度与西方大多数国家所规定的亲属拒证权有着共同的价值基础。虽然这项制度在建国后被当作封建消极的东西予以摒弃,但是在当代中国仍有其存在的合理性,而且具有回归的现实基础,应当在立法中重新设立这一制度。对“法不容情”应作批判性的解读。     

中国传统美学中的和谐美

中国古代美学是中国古代文化的重要组成部分,在美的形态上主张和谐美.中国古代关于美的看法不是单一的,而是在复合中互相补冲的系统,儒道易佛诸家的哲学思想、伦理思想和美学思想在互相离异和互相吸收中共生,便体现了中国古代美论的多样性.中国传统美学中有许多富有现代意味的东西,和西方现当代美学中的一些思想有着相通的地方,但又有着自身独特性和不可磨灭的优势.在新的历史时期,把中国传统美学的这些思想发掘出来加以重新阐释和传承,就必须在现实的人生中,以天地为心,重塑和谐美的文化态度,重建人的精神家园,将会启示我们在美学理论上开辟出一个新的天地,进入一个新的境界,要在现实的生活中收获人生的意义.     

Genetic data for the 13 CODIS STR loci in Singapore Chinese

Allele frequencies for the 13 CODIS STR loci included in the AmpFISTR Profiler Plus and AmpFISTR Cofiler kits (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA) were determined in a sample of 209 unrelated Chinese in Singapore. The combined random match probability for the 13 loci is about 6.6 x10(-15) and the overall probability of excluding paternity is 0.9999899. The results demonstrate that the loci are useful for forensic human identification and parentage testing for the Chinese population in Singapore.     

论医疗知情同意权的历史嬗变及法律启示——来自美国医疗诉讼案例的考察

医疗“知情同意权”(Informed Consent)作为英美法系的产物,是一项重要的私法原则,在其历史发展的嬗变中,始终与生命权、健康权、隐私权等重要人格权概念密切交织着;在美国医疗诉讼法律史发展过程中,知情同意权构筑起了严密的逻辑演进路径,即从“医师标准”到“患者标准”再到“理性人标准”的嬗变,形成了一项独特的免责特权制度.同时,对“知情同意权”的适用和侵权保险保障机制做出了合理的规制,这对当前我国日益紧张的医患关系有着重要的法律启示.
