论多元化假释体系的构建

假释作为非监禁措施之一 ,蕴涵多方面的功能和效用 ,被世界各国所广泛适用。基于中国假释制度适用的现状 ,刑事立法和司法实践中 ,应从假释制度的形式、假释提请的主体、提请假释的期限、假释监督的方式、假释考验的期限等几个方面出发 ,构建多元化的假释体系 ,逐步扩大假释制度的适用比例 ,充分发挥假释制度的应有功效。     

贪污罪与死刑的适用

对贪污罪适用死刑违背了刑罚的公正性,侵犯了罪犯的人格,实践中也收不到预防犯罪的良好效果,但就我国现阶段所处的条件而言,又不宜立即予以废除,因此我们只能采取先从技术上严格控制直至最后完全废除的刑事政策。     

A Census of Medicolegal Death Investigation in the United States: A Need to Determine the State of our Nation’s Toxicology Laboratories and Their Preparedness for the Current Drug Overdose Epidemic

In 2007, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported on 2004 data collected from the Census of Medical Examiner and Coroner Offices (CMEC). The CMEC was one of the first comprehensive reports on the state of the medicolegal death investigation system in the United States and included information on administration, expenditure, workload, specialized death investigations, records and evidence retention, and resources. However, the report did not include responses on questions that were related to toxicology such as specimen retention and type of testing. The purpose of this publication is to provide the community with toxicology laboratory-specific responses from nearly 2000 medical examiner and coroner (MEC) offices. Data obtained from a BJS CMEC public use dataset for any remaining information that was not reported in the 2007 BJS report were evaluated specific to the operation of toxicology laboratories within a MEC office or specific to toxicology testing. The CMEC includes information on average operating budget for MEC offices with internal or external toxicology services, budget for toxicology/microbiology services, respondents’ routine uses of toxicology analysis, toxicology specimen retention time, average turnaround times, use of computerized information management systems, and participation in federal data collections. These historical data begin to address the present state of our nation’s toxicology laboratories within the medicolegal death investigation system and their preparedness for the current drug overdose epidemic.     

促进罪犯回归社会：英国的实践

促进罪犯重新融入社会是当代英国的重要刑罚目标。为此,立法上规定有监禁刑与半监禁刑,监禁刑执行中规定有刑期管理、家庭监视等制度。这对我国不无借鉴意义。
